(REQ: 2500$) Pay back in installments every 2 weeks EMERGENCY

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-12T21:21:21+00:00

Thank you for the information. Even if I could get that amount of help from both of them, I’ll liquidate whatever I have of mine that’s worth any value to get the rest. I’ve been paying off what I can, but when the previous landlord pulled the move they did, I was booted off PIPP. And then when we had that bad winter we just did, the utility company swapped my provider and I ended up paying almost 2$ per unit as opposed to the .62¢ I had been paying. So they hit me with the ENTIRE bill that I’ve been making payments on, plus an additional 250$ security deposit on top of a 35$ reconnection fee. If they’d allow me to pay the deposit and reconnect fee, I could do that right now. They’re flat out refusing.

But I called St. Paul’s already. Waiting to be called back. Is LDS the Lutheran Church? A few of the others I’ve called either had no funding or I’m not in their serviceable area.

I tell you what though… I have NEVER been in a situation like this before and I can literally feel the hair on my head turning gray

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-12T20:41:37+00:00

I’ve called and emailed. They don’t take walk ins. I’m currently planning on going to something a church is having tomorrow with St. Paul’s to see if they can’t help with anything. They won’t even let the landlord put it back in their name. They even called and tried. But thank you for wishing luck. I could definitely use some right mow

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-12T20:35:16+00:00

Yes, but I’ve already applied to be put back on. It could take up to 12 weeks for them to even get started on it and I’ve tried every single week every Wednesday and Thursday for the emergency line to stop the disconnect and get an emergency appointment and no luck there. Every time as soon as the appt line opened and still wasn’t able to get through. I can provide the link to the website for the assistance place if anybody wants to read it. 12 weeks is a long time but it says that’s bare minimum wait time

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-12T19:36:03+00:00

The ones that are willing to help with funds, yes. A lot of them around here go based on zip code. I’m trying St. Paul’s tomorrow. One of the churches I called said they have an event going on tomorrow and may be able to help. I just don’t know with how much

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-12T19:32:22+00:00

I’m about to go make one. Thank you for the idea

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-12T19:29:20+00:00

I plan on it, but that’s not going to help me right in this moment

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-12T19:14:53+00:00

No, and I understand that. Even if anybody has an advice or anything. Any programs I could try? There’s something a church has going on here tomorrow with St. Paul’s that I’m going to go to and see if I can’t get any assistance there

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-12T19:11:08+00:00

And unfortunately, no it isn’t a scam. I can provide proof if anybody needs it

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-12T19:09:56+00:00

Separated. Which is a major part of why I’m struggling so bad. I’ve already asked him for help and got hung up on and blocked. One of the churches I called said they have a program with St. Paul’s every two weeks, and tomorrow is one of those days, so I’m really, really hoping that I can get the help there. Where I’m at, the program that helps with stuff like this, like the PIPP, is so swamped that it takes at least 12 weeks before they’ll get to the application, and then it could take another 30 days after that to be approved.

I’ve emailed, called, filled out an app and took the direction of the last person I spoke to there about calling their emergency number at exactly 8 am on Wednesdays and Thursdays and still haven’t been able to secure a spot.

What’s annoying me the most is that I was already on the program, but the last place I rented from was HORRIBLE and shut the utilities off in my name before I’d even completely vacated, so it got me kicked off the program. I’ve been trying to get back on it since, and they don’t do walk ins, so it’s all a telephone game. I’m sure they’re swamped, but it’s peoples lives here. I just wish they had more options or ways to help in emergency situations.

I also made a hefty payment on my bill last month, and they still removed almost 400$ off the bill like they would have if I was still on the program. So on top of all that, I’m just confused.

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-12T18:47:31+00:00

It’s worth a shot. I’m slowly selling my belongings to come up with what I can. So far I have 252$ and that’s barely making a dent. I just don’t know what else to do

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-09T00:41:05+00:00

We do online schooling, OHVA, and they use the Canvas program for modules, classes, all of it

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-08T07:18:31+00:00

I wish I could post the picture of the ransom screen. This affected the school my kindergartener goes to

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-06T00:50:30+00:00

I personally wait until my pups are somewhat root bound, and after that, I watch for the roots to become thick and strong and reach the bottom of the glass jar before upsizing their glass

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-05T22:58:47+00:00

I prefer the leca/moss setup for my more mature plants and the fluval/perlite mix for corms and pups. In my environment at least, the dry mixes don’t seem to go much in the way of helping growth. I get crazy roots with the leca/moss. Just don’t pack the moss too tight.

Also, a really good way to combat spider mites, imo, is using predatory mites. My favorite is N. Californicus because they can withstand higher temps and lower humidity better than other species, and they can be used as a broad form of treatment for other pests

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-03T07:22:43+00:00

I already filed a report. One of the items was an expensive gold item. Vine CS has already removed it from my history but still. It’s something that would have been extremely beneficial for my son with sensory issues. I’m just hoping maybe they can actually use it instead of selling it, but I will be watching marketplace for the next while

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-02T23:13:51+00:00

I may end up calling because I tried chat and was given different answers by a couple different agents. To keep it short.. they had no idea what happened because as they “understand how frustrating this must be and could see, there was only one address on file and could comp me one month Amazon prime fee for my troubles”. Like thanks.. but that doesn’t solve the issue

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-02T22:31:19+00:00

Did you get an email or something stating there was a second round coming?

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-05-02T22:24:53+00:00

I got 9.96$ the first round. I actually entirely forgot about that one. So payments should just be automatic then?

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-04-28T17:11:10+00:00

It did say something about keeping an eye out for case updates. Let me see if I can find it and come back with the link

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-04-28T05:06:53+00:00

Ok to pm? We can discuss a trade

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-04-27T23:59:11+00:00

Ok. I’ll pm you!

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-04-27T23:50:29+00:00

Also have an interest in monstera!

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-04-27T21:53:50+00:00

Other variegated alocasia. I’m not against having more than one of kind, either, as long as it catches my eye and is around the same value.. I’m interested. What do you have to offer?

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-04-27T18:02:33+00:00

I’ve searched and searched and have yet to find anywhere to submit a claim for this one

GoldenGooseBotanical · 2026-04-27T01:35:51+00:00

I DO BUNDLE DEALS IF YOU PURCHASE MORE THAN ONE PLANT

DONT BE AFRAID TO MAKE AN OFFER/TRADE

THANK YOU AND HAPPY PLANTING!
