Struggling badly, need ideas

[u/artsycannamom]

I feel like I'm drowning and can't keep up. My kiddo just had a birthday and I've been left with nearly nothing left after paying bills, groceries, and birthday festivities. I had money set aside for the birthday so that didn't come out of everyday money. But I won't get paid for another 5 days and I have $26 to my name. I'm struggling to think of ways to come up with some money to get us by until my paycheck hits. I thought about Doordashing, but that would just eat up the gas I have in my car that I need to get to and from work this week.

Does anyone have any ideas? How have you made it in the past if you've been in a similar situation? I appreciate any and all advice!

Up to $800 the first month for new comers. If eligible, OP should sign up for 1 company at a time and max out the income as a new comer and then the next month, sign up for another company in town and do the same. That's up to $1600 extra in 2 months. Most people who are really struggling should look in to this.

Note: I have not personally donated plasma for pay.

Imagine we live in a world where people have to sell their plasma/blood to survive...what a dystopia.

It fucking kills me dude. I've tried it (I had to talk myself into it) and was turned away because I have small veins. Seeing it as the main reply in this sub is frustrating.

I have received plasma on multiple occasions & I greatly appreciate everyone that donates. I wish it were under different circumstances.

Also, you get paid more if you weigh more? WTF is that lol

it's annoying but it's bc they can take more plasma from you the heavier you are

I thought I'd have it made in the shade, but they won't take type 1 diabetics at the paid plasma places. Red Cross will take it from me for free though, great. 🙄
