Ok, I’m going to have to do something I really don’t like doing, but cannot be avoided.
So, It turns out i’m eligible to work part time up to 20 hours a week within the supportive housing benefits I receive from the city. I got to thinking that maybe it would be good for me to find a little part time gig, close by. I’m really tired of having no money, it’s super damaging to my morale and self esteem.
The issue is that I haven’t had a hair or beard cut since early February because I live on such a small budget, and I look like i’m still homeless…not highly employable.
See, look how bad it is.
so, this is the thing I don't like doing: the fundraising post. It’s only so that I can get to a place where I can stop what one of my friends calls “digital panhandling”. I don’t like it, it makes me feel like less than.
When I went to get glasses the other day here in my new neighborhood out in queens, they told me I have to go back to where I got the last pair for my insurance to cover the replacement pair . Well, that’s all the way in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. I remembered a barber school that’s also in Manhattan, where I could get a highly discounted haircut.
I thought i’d make a day trip out of it, take the A train to midtown for the haircut and one of the trains from there that goes to Delancey-Essex to order the replacement glasses (or have mine repaired).
BUT I NEED YOUR HELP!
Thank you.
