Rent & Recovery Fund

July 2017 update. Thank you to everyone who has been here for me during this ordeal. It wasn't how anyone could plan to start their 2017, and I had no idea the aftermath that should come. At the time I was so concerned about at least keeping my apartment while I physically healed. Because of yall I was able to do that for two months. I had no idea the other ways this would take a toll on me. Here we are five months later and I'm finally feeling like I'm able to see a future where there is proper counseling to help me. I'm not sure what exactly is wrong if anything. I just know I wasn't comfortable talking about it, thinking about it, or doing anything other than existing. I moved to a much cheaper apt with a roomate to cut down cost, slowly managed to sell almost every designer product or electronic I had, or any extra effort into selling those things to buy myself time to cope in hopes that in  time the answers would come. I'm grateful I had those things to sell. And watching everything I spent over a decade working for get sold for a fraction of the original cost ,packaged , and mailed out to a new home I wondered what life would be like in the future because I couldn't imagine a life where I ever earned what I used to and thought even if I did someday how I might make better use of that money after thinking of things I could have done before that would have maybe been smarter than  high end high priced things. Sometimes in life you get a losing hand. And that's just what it is. The best thing I can say is when you lose, don't lose the lesson. 
I'm opening this back up to donations with no answers, no goal amounts, and no agendas. Just an honest update from someone just starting to figure out how to get back out there and face life. 



Thank you everyone for spreading the word so we can hopefully stop this from happening to someone else. I'm not one to usually ask for anything. But my health insurance didn't go into effect until feb 1st so in December and January  alone I out of pocketed over 14 thousand of my own savings for medical issue I've been privately dealing with and then now mid February ( a short month) to have this. Assault and robbery take place just leaves me unsure how. To make ends meet. I never doubt my own ability to get by but finding myself in bed recovering I'm faced with the reality I cant get up and make this situation all better. So after several people's advice I'm reaching out to the community. Asking no more than the cost of my rent.  So long as I can keep a roof over my head I know I can get by and handle whatever comes next. Thank you everyone. 
Humbly yours
