Hello new peeps.
I need a springboard for my raeg.
YMCA told us that even with a sponsor, we'd have to pay 60 dollars to join, and 42 dollars to keep a membership.
I am so goddamned pissed.
Last that I knew, YMCA didn't turn people away for not being able to pay - hence why they have a ******** sponsorship set up.
We were turned away because we cannot afford 102$ now. We can't afford 102$ in a month. At the end of the year? We probably won't be able to afford 102 dollars just to join.
Total yearly expense? 564 dollars.
THAT WOULD PAY OUR RENT.(Most of it.)
I feel like my time and energy has been wasted for
nothing.
Today, once I'm more awake and not miss-spelling every other word, I need to look up low-income gyms that have sponsorships, and see if we even qualify there.
There's one thing I would have liked for all of this.
Just one.
For YMCA to put up, ANYWHERE that no matter your income level you can no longer get free admittance. It would have saved me so much time and energy, and the money expended on buses to get to our doctors.
I realize the economy is hurting - trust me, nobody knows how bad it's hurting than those who don't make enough to make ends meet.
But it takes five seconds to weed through code for the website to put that s**t up.
Five seconds for the clerk to tell us.
Five seconds for them to put up a goddamned paper.
******** love this country. God forbid that a pound of apples be even close to a pound of mac'n'cheese in price, and god forbid that the poor can break out o the fat cycle.
