I've not talked about it much, I'm not the most social of beings, but I'm my grandma's primary caretaker. Thankfully my job approved my FMLA request so that I can take time off as I need to in order to take care of her. I've unfortunately had to use it *quite* a bit lately due to her being more wobbly than normal and that's happening AGAIN today and unfortunately the time off is unpaid. While I'm so glad that I got that approved time off with job protection what it has meant is that my finances are so totally screwed. Last pay period I lost 15 hours of pay (I get paid biweekly) and this pay period I'm staring down a loss of 17 hours of pay.

I could theoretically manage that but it would be an EXTREMELY tight financial situation for me. Because of this I'm going to have to ask for help. I'm looking to Get about $600 total (though $800 would be amazing) to shove half of it into bills that have fallen behind and the rest into an emergency grocery fund that I'll be drawing on for the next few weeks.

Thank you very much for reading this and even if you can't donate please spread the word. I know it's a bad time of year since christmas is on the way and most have money reserved for travel but I'm just... not able to put this off.
