Asking other people to give you money isn't solving your actual financial problem. It's akin to putting a bandaid on broken arm. I realize you're desperate for a solution, but desperation is when regrettable choices are most often made. Every choice has a consequence and desperation stops us from seeing the bigger picture. My only intention is to help you gain perspective surrounding this option.

Life certainly seems to be giving you a bunch of challenges. You'll get through this all eventually.
My friends on Facebook will help, I know this much. My followers? Maybe a handful since I do help them on a daily basis. Maybe I wouldn't ask my followers, just my actual friends.

I have seen friends do this in the past. I don't see anything wrong with it. I would give $25 to a friend in need, without question.

I don't see why you're sour on the idea. I am out of options and this is a viable one. Yes, it would keep me afloat for 3 more months, and it would solve the problem. I am going to do what I think I need to do in order to survive.
