[REQ] ($30) - (#Worcester, MA, USA) ($30 7/10) (CashApp, PayPal)

I need help with my new phone bill

Hi guys,

I just switched from a crazy high phone bill carrier to Visible which someone recommended to me. I read everything wrong about the process (I've had so much stress going on that the executive functioning of my bipolar brain is in the dumpster) and I didn't know I had to pay the $25 bill upon activation. I know. I know. My budget is razor thin and I have no margin for error so I messed it up. My phone is going to get shut off tonight by midnight unless I can figure this out.

I'm also pretty sure I'm going to lose my job tomorrow. I've been experiencing so much mental health discrimination from the various heads of the whole bureaucracy. I work in a public library in Worcester, MA. It especially amplified after I took an unpaid week to go to an inpatient psych ward. I have my union fighting for me but it feels like one of those situations in which I'll get fired on some technicality so they don't have to deal with me. It's a lot of stress.

Anyway, I would be so incredibly grateful if someone had $25 to lend me so I can activate this phone plan. I have Cashapp and PayPal. I get my full paycheck at 2am Friday morning and would be able to pay you back as soon as I wake up and get my phone.

And as always, thank you all for simply existing and helping people in need, even if I'm not one of them. It gives me faith in humanity again.
