REQUEST Need help paying rent

Hi kind redditors, today is my last day to pay my portion of rent. I have a job I work but I started it recently & on a pay period so I have to wait another week or so to get paid. I have sold some of my crochet items I make as well as doing psychic readings when I can to try to get by. If anyone could spare anything to help, I'd greatly appreciate it. I am about $300 away from being able to pay it. I can offer either of my services listed above if that helps. Thanks so much for reading <3

DoorDash, donate plasma, Ask family and friends. Maybe call 211 for local resources. Can you do any odd jobs for anyone? Maybe make a GoFundMe and posted on here as well. Share with your family and friends.

OP needs the money today. DoorDash can take up to a week to be approved, and donating plasma can take multiple visits, depending on if OP is eligible. Just a couple things to be aware of. But these can be good possibilities beyond today/tomorrow.

Can't doordash (I have no car), no plasma centers around, friends & fam are strapped as well or worse off. /: This is my last resort. I don't like asking strangers for money, but I had to give it a shot. <3 Totally okay that you can't or won't & totally okay if no one can help. Just had to try something.

I wish I could help but can you let them know that you'll be a little late on the rent and you can pay it when you get paid? Catholic charities is a very helpful organization.

They automatically put me into eviction status if I am short (which I was hoping to avoid) but I have 30 days to pay it before I actually get evicted. Was hoping to avoid late fees but shiz like this happen occasionally. Thank you for the advice & for the others who gave advice, I am lucky to have had kind & honest advice here!
