This is going to be very long, heads up. >.< And I've posted in here once before about moving etc. This is even worse and I really need input or anything you can offer.
My fiance and I moved out to Las Vegas two months ago. It was because he was promised a job from his dad's painting company out here. (my fiance was originally from Las vegas) Well he worked for about 2.5 weeks and then his dad called him and said that the casino had stopped construction for some reason and that they had no work. Well this also means that he has no money to pay anyone, which means my fiance doesn't get paid. I've been trying to find a job since I got here to no avail.
Both my fiance and I have been on craigslist, every day for the last 2-3weeks calling everyone that we can do an odd job for. Some big jobs that we keep waiting to hear back from and some small little ones (which seem to be the only ones who are calling back.) But it's not enough to buy food, or cover bills. Everytime he calls his dad essentially saying, "We are screwed," his dad basically responds "I dunno what to tell you." His dad is not helping us at all.
Pretty much everything that was promised to us before we moved out here is being taken back. He told us that he would let us borrow his one daughters car since he was going to get her a new one. That didn't happen. He told us that if that didn't happen he would be willing to take us places (grocery store, etc.) that doesn't happen and everytime we call him he makes up a new excuse or we will hear "If not tomorrow I'll do it the next day." every day for a week and it still won't happen.
We have no car, no money, barely any food left. We have no access to anything we don't even have money to take the bus.
Rent is due in about a week, and we don't even have a speck of it. We are waiting to hear back from the rental assistance place that were supposed to call back yesterday. Now were waiting until Monday to call. We also called the ebt or food stamps company because we wanted to apply and they told us weeks ago that it would take everything a grand total of 2 weeks to be done, but we haven't even gotten the paperwork from them yet. We want to go in there directly because they can process it immediately, we were supposed to go yesterday (his dad said he would take us Friday, if not Saturday.) Well we haven't gone today either, when we called him he said "I don't think they are open Sunday so I will take you Monday." Which I'm sorry, sounds like a load at this point.
Because we just moved here, we don't know anyone, or have any friends that couldn't potentially take us to social services, or loan us money or anything.
I went to school for 5 years for graphic design, I have a degree. I can't get work there to save my life x.x I am trying desperately to sell commissions, but my illustrating skills are no where NEAR where they should be and I can't sell any, even for 5$... All the sites I know or belong to all sell sketches and everything for their sites currency which although it would be nice, doesn't help me here... :( I don't know what to price anything at, and I don't know where or how to market it. I'm floundering. I can't even post anything to sell on etsy that I've made such as clay figures, because I don't EVEN have the .20$ to list something...
We both wake up every morning sick and worried. We also don't know what else to do...I'm so scared that we will get kicked out and have no where to go. I also have pet rats that I could never ever give up or abandon if we were to get kicked out...we honestly don't have anywhere to go.
Right before we moved out here, I was a student, I didn't have a job. I barely had any money saved up. My grandparents and my parents gave us over 5000$ dollars to move out here. (That includes rental car, money for gas, food and lodging, and the costs for the shipping company to to move all our stuff across the country.) And his dad has barely given us 400$ to help us. Our rent is 600$ a month. That's not including internet/cable and electricity and gas. I can't ask my parents for any more money and I won't do that to them :/ they are having a tough time themselves.
I don't know what to do anymore...at all. I'm getting to a point where I'm honestly going to call about doing porn. T.T and I really don't think people would pay to see me do that. I feel all this pressure to try to up my artistic talent overnight to try to make any amount of money.
I just need help..or just someone to talk to ....or anything. I'm in a really bad place right now, physically and emotionally. Thank you <3
Malkavious is my fiancé <3
