Update: Facing possible eviction and I'm scared that I'll end up homeless

Chef Cara • Currently cook for a fine dining restaurant in Traverse City. Single, 29, chef, would love to be a mom someday.

I have really good news. I appreciate those that commented on my post. I think most people missed the point of what really screwed me over was the courtesy pay that I had on my bank account that my direct deposit automatically pays off. Yes my job slowed down but I was still able to work 7 days a week and make money. I just couldn't use any of the money I made.

Courtesy pay is what my credit union offers for when funds run out I have up to a $500 limit to use but there's a $25 fee each transaction and it adds up quickly. I have to pay it back every time. Every time I got paid, it paid off that balance then I would have an automatic payment that takes money out pushing me further into that negative balance. Anyway that's not the point of this post.

The place that I mentioned that were considering helping me that talked to my apartment complex called me today. I haven't talked to them since last week. They are going to pay my rent in full!!! They already contacted the office by email to let them know that the check is on its way. I'm so beyond grateful. They usually have a max of $500 but they had some really nice donors who wanted to help. I feel so blessed right now.

Now I'll be able to catch up financially with the money I make and pay off some bills. With me working both Shipt and instacart. I'm able to have 2 incomes. Instacart pays on Wednesday and instacart does instant payout up to 5 times a day. So after doing orders if I need money that day I can cash out what I made that day. I'll also get my check and with Shipt I get paid on Fridays.

Now that I cut the courtesy pay off I'll finally be able to use the money that I make, start back saving up and eventually get my business up and running. It was nice to have in the past when I would still get most of my check after it paid off the negative balance but this time I don't see myself getting out of this hole anytime soon. Thanks for reading!
