Oh my.
From the welcome and introductions forum; no primitive's been at the thread yet.
How long before he tries to panhandle again? Half a day?
Oh he's panhandling alright. Seeing this post I clicked on the link and saw I had a new message at DU. I clicked on it and LO and behold I had a message from STEVE!
Looks like he has taken to direct begging. Here is what he had to say, looks like a form sent out in mass:
A while back you posted on a thread I started and I thought I would give you an update on my situation. On June 10th I moved out of my Fathers house, my half brother Butch wanted me out so he can sell it. I could not afford to pay the $700 a month in bills to live there anymore anyway.
I was lucky to find a room to rent in East Peoria for $250 a month, from the Father of a friend of mine. I live in the upstairs of his house, I have my own bathroom and a walk in closet, but no kitchen. And the $250 includes utilities, plus free Dish TV.
It was the only place I could afford to move in to and if I did not find it I am pretty sure I would have been homeless, because the only other places I found were $400 a month or more, and they wanted a deposit.
I can barely afford to live here, and with my internet bill and the co-pays on my medications I am slowly going broke. I just got a $274 truck insurance bill that is due October 1st and as of today I do not have the money to pay it.
I make a little money selling ads on my website oreilly-sucks.com, but it's not enough to cover my monthly bills and I am having to dip into the little I have in my savings every month. I am still waiting on the ALJ appeal hearing on my SSI claim, and just last week my attorney said he thinks we will not get it until late December of this year or early January of next year.
So I am still in a bad situation, even though my monthly bills are only about $300 a month I can not afford it. I do not know what I am going to do if I run out of money and can not pay my rent or my internet bills, I could get evicted, but I do not know if my landlord will let me make a late payment next month or let me go a month without paying the rent.
He is a friend that I knew before I moved in to the upstairs of his house, and I am friends with his son, we even used to play on the same pool team. I just do not know what will happen if it gets to the point where I can not pay the rent. And right now I can not even pay my truck insurance, so after October 1st if I do not pay it I will have to drive with no insurance.
I am trying to get some donations to help me pay my bills, but I do not want to post about it in GD because last time I posted for donations I did not get any because a few morons that have no clue what my situation is lied and said I was a scammer. Even though I am being 100% honest about my problems and can show people proof if they want to see it.
So I am messaging you with an update in the hopes that you can help me in some way, like make a donation to me, or help me raise some donations somehow.
You can donate to me through paypal, here:
oreillyspins@yahoo.com
And you can also go to the donation page on my website, here:
http://www.oreilly-sucks.com/donate.htm The donations I did get from my first post in GD (before the idiots called me a scammer) were a big help and got me through the death of my Father and got me to where I am today. I just need to raise a little more to get me to December when I hope to win my SSI appeal.
The attorney they put on my ALJ appeal called me and said he has looked at my file and he is very confident we will win the appeal. So now I just need to make it to December so I can find out if I win the appeal or not. If you could help me with a donation I would be forever greatful, and I would even promise to pay you back if I win my appeal.
Thank you,
Steve
