Few days ago I made this post asking for help because of an unpleasant situation that was scaring the shit out of me. I asked for $1000 to $1500 in order to cover bills and the half of rent that my former roommate would have normally covered.

I wasn't expecting much of anything. Maybe a couple of hundred. I certainly wasn't expecting $1922... almost breaking $2k is... Well it was overwhelming. I've cried a stupid amount in the past few days. I've also been trying to figure out a way to word this post that isn't going to be terrible. I've got nothing. All I've got is unending gratitude and thanks... Not only does this take care of the bills and the rent, but it even gives me a small cushion to sit on in case of another emergency. Not going to lie, I was tempted to buy Dying Light: The Beast because my god those abs but not until I got a roommate and a stable situation. Besides, never know when a Steam sale will hit that, maybe sooner than I think.

Thank you all so much. I don't know what else to say other than just thank you a thousand times over... thank you... I love you all

By the way, feel free to stop by my new Trek community although the name might be a bit familiar.
