Story of Survival

in survival •  7 years ago 

That's the title I see on a lot of posts literally regarding nothing about surviving. You want to know my story of survival it starts out this past May with one of my nephews hanging himself in my backyard right outside my bedroom. Then progressing into having my power,water,and gas shut of since then,and making it by day by day without any of these things that most people take for granted. Well let me tell you on top of having to deal with my nephews death, and not being able to take a regular hot bath,wash clothes, wash dishes, store,and or cook food. This shit sucks. I initially started out with me and my youngest teen son, we would ride our bikes to local diners and hang out there pretty much all day to use wifi and charge up our phones( only entertainment we had ) Then I decided to try and do a gofund me , but you'd be surprised at how many people would rather take the time to make a reply on "why don't you do this, or that" well quite honestly, I had already tried "this,or that" and it wasn't working, that's why I made a gofund me account, not to get advice on job seeking, or what I should be trying. Gofund me is there for donations, not advice. Sorry if this seems like me being an ass, but just thinking back on it now still frustrates me. Yes I still have no power,water, or gas. if you're curious, I had several family members living with at the house that were just not paying,but instead constantly ringing up a bigger bill every month, I tried and tried to keep up as best I could until it eventually just ballooned up into something unmanageable, and mind you this was over a number of years always being behind on the bills, so... In short, there you have it, in my opinion that's my version of "surviving". I know it can be done, but when you're just thrust into this type of situation right in the middle of Texas summer and now going into Texas winter, the small things like just being able to buy and store fresh food becomes a huge issue,not to mention very expensive when you have to buy what you need daily and hope you get an exact amount so that everyone that needs to eat gets food,and nothing goes to waste. There ya have it, yes, still need help with the bill if by the off chance anyone is able or willing to help with donations, or suggestions that we have not already tried,please feel free to message me or just leave a comment in the replies,and I'll get in touch asap. Thanks to anyone and all that take the time to read. Have a great day.
