Facing Homelessness Due to Illness
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Trace and I’m currently in a very desperate situation. Around 6 days ago I developed severe tonsillitis and was not able to drive to prompt care due to dizziness and fever, I had to miss a full week of work because of how high the intensity of sickness was. My job does not offer sick pay or PTO, I have not been able to afford food for myself for months and my only real expenses are rent, medical debt payments, car payment, insurance, utilities and my dogs food/monthly heartworm pills. This 6 days absent of pay is going to cause me to not be able to make it on my rent come April, as well as this it will lead me to not be able to afford a security deposit plus first months rent (lease is up in July and I was hoping to move somewhere cheaper, I only moved to this apartment because I had insane violent neighbors at my old apartment). If things go the best I will hopefully be able to move onto my grandmas porch once my lease is up and save up some money. Any help is beyond appreciated and I’ll gladly take whatever I can get. Anything at all helps, if there is any hesitation with a financial decision as such it is very reasonable and understandable, if you’d even be willing to get my dog a new toy or something to keep her busy I know it would make her day. Thank you so very much!!
