DEEP HISTORY THOUGHT: Man, England and France really went to war a lot.

I mean, seriously, in the 127 years from the Glorious Revolution to the fall of Napoleon, they fought in the Nine Years’ War, the War of the

Spanish

Succession (13 years), the War of the
Austrian
Succession (8 years), the Seven Years’ War, the American Revolution (5 years), the French Revolutionary Wars (10 years), and the Napoleonic Wars (12 years, off and on). That’s 64 years!

who else would England go to war with tho

Naval Power. 

Literally everybody with a port anywhere in the world

This is me and my son.

He’s the best kid in the world. He’s 10 years old, autistic, and charming as heck. I love spending time with him.

I just found out just a couple of days ago that my ex–my son’s other mom–is suing me for full custody of our son because I am living in California rather than Massachusetts (even though she knows I have been working hard to move back). In order to avoid losing the case out of hand, I need to move back to Massachusetts much sooner than anticipated–early February rather than late August– to avoid losing access to my son.

My son is the most important person in my life. I talk to him every day and I do everything I can to see him as often as possible. I am hoping to go back to having him live with me 2-3 days per week once I am back east, since that is what I did before.

For the past several years I have been disabled and unable to work. After years of struggling I moved across the country in 2016 to be with my (ex) partner who said they would take care of me and make sure I would be able to see my son as often as I needed to. That relationship ended because they were abusive, leaving me stranded and broke in San Diego.

Since then, I have gotten help for my disability and I am working again and going back to school. I am rebuilding my life. I am making just enough to pay for my own rent and food and I can put a little bit aside. I will have just enough money in cash and loans in early february to rent a van and move myself and my best friend/partner back to New England, but I can’t do it safely without a little bit more money.

This is a bare bones, budget move where I will arrive with almost nothing to move into a new apartment and barely enough money to pay rent.

I am putting in $4300, which breaks down to:

$800  Van Rental
$400 Gas and Tolls
$400 Hotels and Food for 5 days
$2700 Move in rent and security for the new apartment

I still need at least another $2500 by early February:

$800 furniture so that my son can have a place to live with me
$700 expenses for while I am finding a job
$1000 retainer for my lawyer, just to get started

I will continue to work as hard as I can to make it happen even if I don’t reach my goal, but I really don’t want to end up being homeless after all of this.

Please help as much as you can. My son is so important to me and I can’t even imagine losing him.

please help! This is my paypal (paypal.me/effingsorceress)

I’ve raised $60 so far, which is really awesome (thank you!), but I have a long way to go. Please help if you can!

At $100 now! Thank you all so much.

I’ve also added a GoFundMe page: https://www.gofundme.com/help-me-keep-access-to-my-son

$115. Please keep helping

$135

We are at $185 raised. Thank you all so much for helping. I actually feel like we can make it to the most immediate $700 goal at this pace (so at least I won’t end up homeless in Mass in February).

Also I want everyone to know that I have a few interviews set up for next week for jobs in New England. This move is coming together.

I’m going to make this happen with your help. Please keep sharing and supporting.

We are at $200 raised. I hate to keep asking, but please please please help if you can. Every bit makes a difference

Still at $200, but I’ve lined up a job for after I’ve moved. As you can imagine, this takes a lot of pressure off financially.

That said, I still need help. I probably won’t need $700 too help me bridge the gap until I’m working again, at least.

Anything helps so that I can move into a real house with furniture next month and have my son stay with me as soon as possible.

Thank you all for helping!

Currently at $231 raised.

I still need to bridge the gap between what I am putting in and what I need to make this move work. Please help me get back east.

Thank you for helping!

We still need help. In fact, after I told my boss that I would be moving in a month they decided that they would impose an unattainable performance standard so they could get rid of me in a week instead.

So, it looks like I’ll be out of a job in the weeks before I intended.

Everything helps.

My old job shorted my paycheck final by $150, so this is starting to look very concerning again
