I hate that I have to make a journal like this, asking for financial assistance, but here it is.
Back in early November, while working on art, I was bitten by a bed bug (to which I am allergic and broke out in hives), which started a domino effect that has put me in a rough financial situation, due to being on a fixed income.
Without being able to prove one way or another on where the bed bugs came from, I'm being charged $599 in extermination fees, to be paid over 12 months in 11 $50 installments and then a final $49 installment. Exterminations as of writing this journal are 2/3 of the way done and bugs are still being found (5 currently).
With bugs still being found, I'm concerned that they may try further attempts at extermination and continue to charge me for them. I'm asking for some financial help if possible, for at the minimum, the original $599.
I'd be grateful for any amount of help, donations or even spreading the word. I even appreciate anyone just taking time to read this journal.
