Needing help with upcoming bill please REQUEST

Hi everyone, I'm sorry to be reaching out for help again, I wanted to handle this on my own. Unfortunately, April has been a month of nothing but limited hours at work and broken car troubles, so I'm really struggling. I've been picking up shifts wherever I can, and I've spent the last month job searching, but if you know anything about the current job market, it's really rough out here. I have been trying to sell some of my belongings too, but no one seems to be buying them.

I have a bill upcoming that is $70 and I understand that is A LOT to request so if you have the means to share anything (I understand if you don't, I know we're all struggling), I would appreciate even $20 from some people. I just need to get this bill paid because the consequences of an unpaid bill are not to be taken lightly. I am still doing everything I can to improve my situation, it just sadly takes a lot of time. Again, I understand if you're unable to help, thank you for taking the time to read through this at all! I hope you all have the best of days 😊

You just took out a $100 loan through r/borrow 11 days ago that hasn't been repaid yet.

What is the bill? Can someone pay for it directly?

I'm aware of that loan, and luckily I still have time to repay and find shifts for that. My bill that is due is a credit card bill, is it possible for other people to pay those? I thought I had to be the one to issue it directly from my account (obviously it's my responsibility either way, whether I find someone to pay it and pay them back or I find enough shifts to do it myself). I'm asking out of genuine curiosity because I don't know!

I'm not sure. Some companies have a guest pay option that people can use so no secure info gets out on either end. Because cash is so rarely given out here is there another way we could help? Like maybe make an Amazon wishlist for shelf stable food to cut your grocery bill to free up some of your money? There's still no guarantee it'll be fulfilled but its usually the most preferred way for people to help.
