Moving out!

Hello. I'm Matthew Rossi, and I need your help.

This is never easy, and it's especially not easy around the holidays, but the situation has gotten even more untenable recently. In the past few years, both my wife and I have been hit repeatedly with bad news -- in 2016 I was diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy and told that blindness was inevitable and inexorable, followed by my wife's atrial fibrillation, and more recently the discovery of my hemochromatosis and now new heart difficulties for me. 


We need to move, but the expenses (and our already significant debt due to my original illness back in 2016, before I had Canadian residency) have made that an extremely daunting task. Just making the $300 or so on my medication to try and get ahead of what's happening is starting to push our heads under water. It's not one big problem, it's all the other problems adding to and complicating each other -- all the incidental costs and debts we've had to incur along the way that keep us pinned down.


So I'm asking you for help.


Literally anything -- from a few hundred dollars to at least clear some of our debt to the amount we'd need to pay for a mover -- would be a huge help to us right now. Between waiting for new tests and new results, trying to get our family to someplace less inimical to our health, and simply trying to live while being too blind or otherwise disabled to work while not fully done with immigration (and so, not eligible for any other help) we're dying a cut at a time. 


If you can't, believe me, we understand. We know what life and the world are like now, because we're living it too.

What funds will be used for:

- Moving (paying movers: $2,000; damage deposit: approx. $1,800)
- Medical expenses (medication costs after insurance, monthly: $300 [some of my medication is uninsured])
- Possible debt repayment (current debt approx. $15,000)
- Food, utilities, etc.

If we do not hit a total for moving, we will apply funds towards medical expenses/debt.
