I am sorry, but I have created another GoFundMe to try and help with my current situation. [View all]

I really did not want to do this, as I feel like such a slime for even asking for help.

We need some help because bills are piling up and my medical situation is not going to get any better.

Now, I am aware that most of us are not doing well. Which is why I feel so crappy about even asking.

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. If anyone wants to berate me for even asking, go right ahead. I do not deserve anything, nor can I repay anyone for any of it, since I doubt I will make it to this time next year. But, it will help my husband recover from being connected to me, since I am obviously such poison to every aspect of our society. (I mean, based on the things that have happened to me over my life, that seems to be the only rational conclusion.)

As I have stated before, I am not a salesperson, and I have no desire to be. I know that this is the difference between getting a few dollars, and getting more, but I would rather skin myself with a dull knife than try to be a 'hype-man'. I can only ask for any help that might be out there. If there is none, then so be it. I am about done with this entire fantasy, to be honest. I never asked to be a curse on the planet, and I doubt any relief will be had until it is all over.
