Hey everyone.

The last day of the year is finally here and I can not wait for it to be over.

We're out of food and the cat will be out of food in another couple of days. Our food stamps don't refill until (supposedly) the 5th of January, but that's been late recently, so I don't trust it.

We have no gas and no food, and in two days my wife will be out of medication. I'm trying a sale over on my art page (commissions that would normally cost $45-$60 on sale for just $20 until January 2nd, or until I have 10 slots filled - whichever comes first), but I haven't had any takers yet.

If anyone could spare absolutely anything - even $5 would get us a carton of eggs and some bread. That would be a huge help at this point.

Hunger is hard. Hunger is harder when you know the one you love is hungry, too, and the only thing keeping you sane is hope that next year will somehow be better.

Bill collectors are calling constantly. Our car payment ($500) is two months overdue, and we have no car insurance. If we can't get insurance by 2/2/2017, the DMV will suspend our registration. But if we can't pay at least 1 of the months worth of car payment by 1/19/2017, they're going to repossess the car...so ultimately the insurance thing doesn't matter.

My bank account (tied to GoFundMe) is -$43 overdrawn. My Paypal has $0.16 in it. We're now nearly 9 months overdue on all credit cards, and everything has been sent to collections specialists. Thank god there's no debtor's prison in this country or we'd be looking at jail time at this point.

To make matters worse, when I had the emergency with my tooth cracking and had to go to a dentist (which I still owe $100 on, over what our free insurance covered) and have it pulled, I apparently ran a red light in my rush to get to the dentist before they closed for the day. Therefore I have a traffic ticket for an as-yet-undisclosed amount on it's way to me in the mail. Now that WILL cause jail time if I can't pay it...

God, I just don't know what I'm going to do.

2017 has to be better...It just has to. If it's worse, at this point, and I can all too easily imagine what it would be like it if was worse right now - I'm in a dark place at the moment, I don't know what we're going to do or how we're going to survive.

Thank you all for everything you've done for me so far, and for putting up with and reading all this crap I post. I wish there were some other way. I'm up for a couple of possible graphic design jobs, but haven't heard back from anyone yet - and likely won't until after tomorrow. So please hope with me that something will give and things will start looking up.

Thank you all for being my hope.
