I need help.
I have to put my pride aside for the sake of my daughter, because after finding out that over $4,500 was stolen from me, I can’t keep carrying this alone.
I haven’t been fully open about what’s been going on because I’ve been trying to handle it quietly.
Over the last several months, I’ve been dealing with issues at work that affected my hours, unexpected home repairs, car problems, and other bills that kept stacking up while I was already trying to catch up.
Then my grandmother was injured and ended up in the hospital/rehab. She was the person who helped watch my daughter while I worked, and with school ending soon, I’ve been scrambling to find childcare so I can keep working.
Then last week, my car's starter went out and I had to spend around $500 to replace it.
I was finally supposed to get breathing room from my university financial aid refund.
Instead, my university refund account was compromised. My refund information was changed without my authorization, and the money was redirected to a bank account I don’t own or recognize.
I’ve reported it to my university, their fraud department, the service desk, and federal authorities. I’ve secured my accounts, documented everything, and reviewed my devices carefully. Based on what I found, I don’t currently see evidence that the compromise came from my side.
I know the obvious question is: “If you reported it, won’t you get the refund back?”
Maybe. I truly hope so. But that process can take time, and I don’t know when or if it will be resolved. The problem is that I needed that money now for my mortgage, urgent bills, and childcare for my daughter.
So I’m asking for help.
If you’re able to donate, I have support options through Throne and Ko-fi. Anything helps, even small amounts. If you can’t help financially, sharing this post or leaving a kind comment would still mean a lot. I’ve been embarrassed, overwhelmed, and scared to ask for help, but I can’t do this alone anymore. I’m a single dad trying to keep my daughter safe, cared for, and stable.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for caring. 💙
Hi everyone.
I’m sorry I’ve been so quiet after posting. To be honest, I hit a point of complete exhaustion and ended up stepping away from my phone for a while, trying to rest while still taking care of my daughter.
The timing of all of this has been really hard, especially with her birthday coming up in a few weeks. It has made everything feel even more stressful.
But I’ve been sitting here reading your messages, watching the shares, seeing the donations, and taking in all the love you’ve shown me.
I feel so overwhelmed and so incredibly blessed.
I can’t thank all of you enough for the support you’ve given me. The internet can be a rough place, and sometimes it can feel really cold, but time and time again this community has shown me love when I needed it most.
Whether you donated, shared the post, left a kind comment, reached out privately, or simply kept me and my daughter in your thoughts, please know that it mattered.
I’m hoping to hear some good news tomorrow, but I understand these things can take time, so I’m trying to be patient and keep doing everything I need to do.
Just know that I love you all from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for helping me carry something I couldn’t carry alone anymore.
Thank you all so, so much. 💙
I don’t know who needs this right now, but hey it’s not too late and you still have time. Life can happen and it sucks, it’ll bring you so much joy and still kick your ass at times. Despite that, you’ll get to where you need to be. If you have something you love and you’re passionate about please feed that side of yourself more. Be kinder and surround yourself with genuine people, that helps make the difference. You got this.
@zehawk03 They were arguing so strongly that floo powder was the one that caused splinching instead of apparition...
and i was waayy too drunk for that bs😭😭
I was drunk last night and this guy tried to argue Harry Potter lore with me and he was so confidently wrong about a spell mechanism and when I went to my room to cool down he shouted through my door to try and keep arguing me🧍♂️
how do I remain calm and demure in this conditions
@userJiaoYAN OMG i have the same one i got off taobao, it helps so much. I think when you do a lot of work, it helps makes the process faster but I still have to adjust the anatomy when I draw so it doesn't look too stiff, so I don't think it's cheating, alot of manga artists do this too iirc
With the sheer amount of reference sheets I have to draw, me and my cheap plastic posing figures are married 😭
It's refreshing to see other people share that they use like 3D models to help illustrations because even with a figure I still have to adjust a lot
The only way I'd see this being a "problem" to bring up is if the goal is:
1. An 18+ streamer wants to talk to a minor
2. The minor wants to be friends with the 18+ streamer
I'm confused; the 18+ label isn't a foolproof ward. Plenty of minors watch 18+ content quietly, it does however give the streamer plausible deniability.
I don't think this is such a problem from the VIEWER perspective, teenagers will watch whatever they want to.
An underaged viewer who doesn't mention their age can sneak into an 18+ space, it's not good, but it happens all the time. So, the argument of exclusion and view numbers doesn't hold up.
