do you think it would be a dumb thing to set up a gofundme thing to pay off my families debt to my grandfather?
we need about $80,000. he payed for our house, because we literally had no money. our lease was up on our previous house, so if he hadn’t we would have been homeless. my dad was very grateful and surprised that he’d do something like that, as my grandfather was basically the worlds shittiest dad to him when he was younger.
thing is, we never imaged my grandfather would be so persistent and pressing about paying him back. my parents are unemployed, and trying very hard to find work. they spend all day putting in applications - they only occasionally get called back. my grandfather constantly (and i mean like once or twice everyday) calls asking if they’ve found a job yet. since they don’t, my grandfather works my parents to the bone, and pays them nothing for it. My dad has bad knees. Standing up and standing in general is painful for him. My mom has Spinal Stenosis - her back is in constant pain. I hate to see them come home each day in so much pain. I’d love to get a job, but I have severe social anxiety. If I’m not accompanied by someone familiar to me, and even in some situations when I am, I have panic attacks. My Grandfather has the power to evict us from this house, and has threatened it many times. We don’t have the money to rent a house, we can hardly even feed ourselves. Would it really be such a bad thing to set up a gofundme?
