With your incredible help, I was able to avoid a September eviction and secure my housing. I am so grateful for the support that helped cover my back rent in May. An agency has arranged for long-term rental assistance for the last 3 months of back rent. My immediate crisis is over, but my new challenge is covering basic living expenses. My salary covers my apartment, but leaves me with just $18 a month for everything else—food, utilities, cell, transportation, and medication. I am in a tender place, recovering from a severe episode of unmedicated Bipolar, Anxiety, and CPTSD. To continue my healing, I need a calm and consistent environment, free from the stress of worrying about how to afford my basic needs. My life has been a story of resilience, but today, I need to be honest and advocate for my mental health. Your support will give me the stability to focus on my recovery and turn this challenge into another chapter of my unique story of survival and transformation.
