I’m Ashamed to Ask for More Help. Urban Teacher in Tears, Asking for $375 for Bills and Necessities

As a lot of you know, being a teacher does not have me rolling in cash, and my second job doesn’t start for two weeks.

I keep asking for help because the bills and necessities do not disappear. I’ve shredded the hospital bills, but now 1 is in collections and the other is about to be ($200).

I have 3 work items that need to be dry cleaned.

A $40 electricity bill due Thursday.

More money for meds is needed as emergency prescriptions are being called in before my medication insurance plan changes ($30).

I also need help with my monthly student loan payment again ($72).

It’s really shameful to have to keep asking. Please don’t shame me anymore. I go to work everyday and work more hours a week than a ton of people. Not that respectability politics should matter. I say all this to say I am the working poor. Please get me out of the red:
