Pennies for Him, Freedom for Me
I'd borrowed from everyone I could think of, maxed out my credit card, and was still 48,000 dollars short.
It was 1:00 AM. I was crouched on a hospital stairwell, calling Presley, sobbing until my voice had gone completely hoarse.
"Presley, please, just lend it to me. My mom doesn't have much time. I'll pay you back, I swear," I'd told him.
The line went quiet for a few seconds before he spoke, "Your mom's situation is basically a bottomless pit at this point. I'll send you some links to a few legit lending platforms. Figure it out from there."
