Hey guys, my name is Sam (they/she), i’m 24 & basically this past year or so my life has kind of gone to shit.
UPDATE AS OF 10/18/22:
I need help paying my rent this month!! My job prospect fell through & I’ve been scheduled for so many “second interviews” I feel like I’m going crazy. I don’t have enough money for food & basic necessities & I’m still largely reliant on the kindness of strangers and my partner’s mom. I just want to ensure I can keep this room, so I can have security and a place to live.
Please help me through these really difficult times.
I moved away from nyc last month because I couldn’t afford it. I’m in the chicago suburbs rn staying with my partner’s mom for the rest of the month, but come oct1 I virtually have nowhere to go. I can’t stay here as my partner is moving out oct1 & I don’t have a car or any means of getting around the suburbs at all. Also it’s just really awkward and weird to live with your partner’s mom without your partner there. Lmfao.
I’ve been unemployed due to my EDS getting worse, causing elbow and ankle tendonitis as well as osteoarthritis in my hands - making it impossible for me to continue barista work, which has been my only source of income for years and the only work experience I have. So it’s really difficult to find a job I can actually work.
NY stopped giving me unemployment, probably bc I moved out of state lmfao, & I have $3 in my bank account. I’ve been completely reliant on my partner and their mom all month as I’ve been trying to get back on my feet. Nothing has come up for me, no housing and no job and now I have nowhere to go.
My family lives in an RV all the way across the country so I couldn’t even stay with them if it came down to it. My only other option is to stay with my dad who I haven’t seen since I was 12 and have had a restraining order against for most of my life. I really don’t want to do this as he has no bed for me to sleep on and I’d have to be crashing on his couch + he’s in the middle of nowhere and I don’t have a car, so I’d be completely stranded.
There’s a room prospect here in chicago I’ve really been trying to get. But it’s $750 for the deposit (due oct 1) & another $750 for rent (I’ve gotten them to extend that payment until oct 15). I hate doing this and I know I’ve asked for help a lot in the past, but I’m really at the end of the road in my life right now and everything feels completely hopeless.
Please help me raise this money so I won’t be homeless october 1st. It is so hard to be chronically ill like this and have no grounding in life. I feel like I have nowhere to turn.
Please if you have anything to spare or can just share this post around, I’d really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
I love you all,
Sam
