Oh my God - I'm in such a mess!! When I moved to Phoenix a year ago I had to leave everything I owned behind and packed into a storage unit. I've fallen behind by a couple months in the payments for them due to my struggle with pulling in an income here. And now I have been informed that my storage unit is up for auction on the 13th. Of this month. In 5 days. I'm really stressing out. I lost my job a couple weeks ago and my boyfriend and I are totally broke so I don't know what to do. I don't even know anyone that I can borrow the money from (as far as friends go) and my family and I don't really speak so thet're not even a possibility. I'll admit though - it's gotta be nice sometimes to be able to call up your mom or dad and ask them to help you out when you're in deep shit and have them come through. But anyways - FUCK!!!!! frown Not only am I going to lose everything I own but what kills me the most is the things that I have that are like tangible memories. Over the last eight years or so I've had to see a lot of people that I cared about and some that I loved die and I have items from all of them that mean so much to me. Like I can't replace the program that I made for Star's funeral, or the programs for Ian and Paul's funerals, or the picture of me and Josh right before he died, or the copy of Ian's autopsy, or pictures of Buddy. And the pictures I have of me and Amanda are priceless. She was more than just a friend and died only a couple months ago so that wound is still very fresh. I can't lose all the artwork that I have from several friends of mine who chose to perfect their artistic abilities in prison. The more I think about the meaningful items I have in that storage unit the more I freak out. All my clothes and furniture I can replace but so much of it I can't. Plus the fact that my original birth certificate and social security card are in there along with naked pictures of me so whoever gets it will have a field day. If I lose my stuff I'm really going to freak out. And it's not going to be good. So it comes down to this - I have to have the entire amount owed - $483 into their office before they close at 5:00 on Tuesday the 12th in order to keep it. So far I have $3. Anyone have any ideas?

You should drive back there and get whatever is most important to you. Until your stuff is auctioned off, if you don't have the money, it's still your stuff. Or you could get someone you know to recover a few things for you.

Whatever happened between your family and you, now would be a good time to swallow your pride and ask them to help you. Last year, I had to ask my parents for money several times for reasons I won't disclose here. We're not in bad terms but asking your parents for money when you're 34 (and a guy, living on the other side of the world) is really hard, you can trust me on that... I had no other choice back then...

A final thing you could try is to call the place and arrange some monthly re-payment, kinda like a credit card. Be sincere, explain why you can't face the prospect of losing some of your stuff (that, in any case, has no value for anybody else) and say you'll give them $100 a month, including whatever interest they charge. Of course, you'll have to make sure you give them cash right away and follow-up on that then. You can always get a job as a waitress somewhere, the tips should help you get that money easily.

Thanks for the help but I've tried all of those. Since my payments are three months behind the only way to avoid the auction is to pay the $483 balance in full and cash only so no payment plan. I also tried calling my parents and telling them how much of an emergency it was and they said no. My mom told me that I put myself in this situation and I chose this lifestyle and all the hardships that come with it so it's tough luck. She also added that her and my dad are never going to help me out financially so I shouldn't bother to ask. (I moved out by running away right when I hit 17 and even though I'm 26 now they still tell me that I left their home on my own accord so whatever shit comes with my chosen lifestyle is only to be expected.) And last - the rent for my storage unit is so overdue that they have put a padlock of their own on it to prevent me from being able to sneak my things out of there without paying them (which is standard procedure at those places).
Even if I got a waitressing job despite the daily cash income from tips I hardly doubt I would be able to find a job, get hired and make $483 in the next 4 days before the auction. Thanks for trying to help though. kiss I've racked my brain for possibilities.
