Hi Community!
I wrote this story Swallowing my pride to ask for help. #foreclosure on Friday on Tuesday, this week.
In my comments I noted that I had written the story as clickbait to get more people to read about and share the story of Sara and Ann Reed (Sara R & winglion) and their kickstarter.
But I really was in foreclosure and I received encouragement to allow community members to help me out, just in case my family couldn’t help me. And I caved in to fear and did just that. I updated the story and added a link to my paypal account.
These nine people sent funds totalling $434.00:

I’ve heard from some of these people already by Daily Kos messaging about what they’d prefer I do with it. The options are:
1) I refuse or refund via paypal back to you
2) I keep the funds and donate to another cause of my choice
3) I keep the funds and donate to another cause of your choice
Please send me a Daily Kos message confirming the last name which identifies it as you, and let me know what you’d prefer I do with the funds.
I am also taking this opportunity to say, “Thank You” for your kindness.
What I’m bothered by is that I didn’t have faith in my family, even though I knew that they would help me, if I had a plan moving forward — which they did. To Sherri and Kelly, I am abjectly sorry that I thought you would leave me to sink when I’ve been trying quite diligently to change the course of my life over the past two years. You already have my love, and now you have my eternal gratitude for your faith in me.
