Please Help me Pay for Housing while Healing

Hello dear friends:

Sadly, I am writing you because I am at the end of my rope and I truly need help.

As some of you know, about four years and a half ago I had a very bad accident... To make it short, I fell 100 feet on pure granite while climbing down the highest mountain in Yosemite called Cloud Rest, which is about 11,000 feet. I will say with all my heart there were many miracles that not only I survived the fall but also I kept sliding down the mountain with a broken body and found a small spot with reception while there was no reception at all for many miles. I was able to call 911 with a broken phone and almost out of battery. I called for a helicopter because nobody would be able to find me on the side of the steep mountain I was in. Thank god the helicopter found me an hour or so later, right when the sun was setting and I was about to pass out. Then the helicopter took me to Modesto's Hospital and iI was in the IR for about 9 days.

I had broken bones all over my back, lacerations all over my body, organs being misplaced and not wokring properly, sprains everywhere, and many concussions. Again, it was a miracle I made it alive from that fall.

After the Hospital, I was in very bad shape and I knew the healing process will take years. Luckily, I had many good doctors and had some savings I was able to live off it for a year and a half while liv. But after that, I had to get working, even though, I was still recuperating from the fall and during those years I was still in much pain and seeing many doctors for my complex back pain I have. But I endured the pain and went on working anyways,. I had no other choice, and it was kind of doable for me.

I am a gardener by trade and it's a very physical job but also I have been working indoors to help me pay my bills.

About 4 months ago my shoulder was hurting me so much that I could not work anymore, indoors or outdoors or any work of any kind. I am having difficulties even doing simple things such as driving, holding anything with my arm, texting, writing or even keeping still. I am a leftie, and I do everything with that arm. Even writing this is hurting me. The pain it's been brutal in my left shoulder, arm and neck adding in other places I have pain in my back all has been too much to deal with. Yet, somehow when I move, walk, sing, dance or do some sort of moderate activity it gets me out of my pain a little bit, it lessens to a certain extent. I kind of got used to the pain after all these heavy accidents I had in my life, which I won't go into explaining now. But sitting still with the pain sometimes it's much harder than distracting myself and moving it, again, to a very certin extent.

For the last few months, I have been going to all sorts of doctors to deal with this issue: pain doctors who gave me neck joint and muscle injections which didn't work but made the pain worse. Also, I saw Osteopaths, Chiropractors, Acupuncturists, therapists, etc; but again. nothing seemed to work. I have been doing anything it's possible to be able to work again because I have to and I have no family support because all my family lives in Argentina.

After a few months of waiting for a shoulder MRI and the doctors finally saw that I got a "Tear Slap" which is a shoulder tear, and it's not healable but only by surgery. My pain doctor seems to think this is the root of my pain and I started to see it may be true.

Right away, I got a referral for the Orthopedic Surgeon and I have been calling over and over in the last weeks to make an appointment, but for one reason or another, ( my low-cost medical insurance, or the doctor its vacation, or I need more paperwork, etc) they couldn't schedule me yet. I am still waiting to have an appointment with the Orthopedic Surgeon, hopefully, he will call me this week and then we have to go into more tests, and then hopefully sometime in the next month or so surgery and the healing time of approximately 6 months to a year waiting for me.

So, it has been about 4 months hoping i will get better but with no results. Quite the contrry, it feels worse with everyday it passes. All these four months between doctors and much pain and with no income coming at all.

Meanwhile, I used my credit cards to pay bills, I also asked for some loans from banks but the money run out. Also, I went to all Government programs as well as nonprofits, for help, and I got food stamps and a housing voucher but yet, but I have not been to find any housing. I do have a housing voucher, which I acquired last year but it will expire in September I have been trying to find a house, relentlessly for almost a year but so far it's been in vain. My current landlord does not want to take the voucher, doesnt matter the incentives we give him to sign. Also, to get a disability in my case will take many years if I get it.

Approximately all my basic bills. rent, electric, water, credit cards, car loan and insurance , etc. are about 2500$ a month.

I need time and money to heal my body but above all, I need a house to rest and be able to provide the basics so I can heal.

So, I am asking humbly all of you for support in my healing for the next six months to live in a house and have my basic bills paid so I don't end up on the streets. Simple as that.

I feel extremely vulnerable and almost ashamed at writing this, but you are truly my last resource. I kept quiet in my healing and survival times all these years there were very hard but I can't do it any longer.

Anything helps right now, from 5, 20, 100 dollars, whatever you can afford it will make a positive change in my life and I am so grateful.

So, I thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for reading this and helping a friend and human who is been trying everything I can do to survive and live in this beautiful world.

Kindly

Analia
