Hello out there good Samaritans...I'm a 27 year old facing tough times. I recently lost my job because I have a disorder known as Asperger's and my boss refused to understand that I have difficulty looking people in the eye and I was marked down on customer service once in a secret shop because of it, when myself and other managers even went to her - she blankly said "i dont know what that is" and when I went to my union, they were of no help. I spent the last couple months struggling to make ends meet. I sold just about everything I own and live in a simple one bedroom apartment with my partner and my sister who has cerebral palsy, though my sister is unable to work and does receive some state income, I cannot expect her to be able to pay everything as she does not make enough regardless, we are now facing the shut off of our utilities because we cannot make the payment and were only able to pay 200 dollars of our rent. we already moved into cheaper housing to be able to afford it but we are really struggling. On top of that i return to school after nine years on the 30th in order to better myself and move forward in my life, my sister is also trying to get into the same school with me too. I've been struggling to find work, I am very capable and have held jobs for over 6 years even - my disorder doesn't prevent me from being completely functional in society despite minor setbacks. I just want to give my sister a good life as I recently rescued her from her abusive drug addict mother to give her a better place to stay and people who dont treat her like she's a disgusting burden and I feel like i'm failing her with the bills rising. she is my rock, I cannot loose her because she makes me able to get up and be able to conquer the world.
Any little bit helps us, any little thing makes us able to be able to even have something to eat or put towards our rent and utilities.
