Aid for Cats and Owner After Devastating Accident

Donation protected

My kitties need help, I need help.... i had a serious car accident last year that caused a brain injury - a subdural hematoma that also caused epilepsy. As an older woman - with a brain injury lol - finding work is very hard. - Getting UNEMPLOYMENT - IMPOSSIBLE. I Lost my apartment i'd been in for years last year after the accident - I had to leave 9 feeding stations behind for abandoned cats that I took care of for years. It was the most devastating time of my life. Out of those cats, I kept six...

They are getting old, need vet care. A few I believe need x-rays, blood work. A couple of them are not eating right and sleep all the time. When I first adopted them the Humane society would help with such things but now - well - I believe their donations have gone down so funding such things is impossible. Anyway, my cats need help. I just can't do it all with no work. I also have to uber or bus everywhere.So I have to pay for that because I can't drive. I have to be without seizures for about six months before I can get a license. The seizures actually started months after my car accident. ' not right away. But- I will need a car. Mine was destroyed in the accident.
I was hoping i could do some custom painting (artist) , but that's not coming around and honestly I don't know if I can paint anymore because I drop things all the time. I'm not sure that the creative part of my brain is even there anymore. Who knows? Something to do with the head injury. The type of seizures I have are focal seizures. I have a month and a half of my life where I don't remember anything about it. I was living my life because my refrigerator was full, my cat's taken care of and I was obviously even up looking for work because I have letters from managers saying "we liked the interview - you're on the list of potential employees, OR WE WANT TO HIRE YOU, but - I have no memory of it whatsoever. as I look too, they are too far to get to on a daily basis without a car.. IT'S LIKE ANOTHER PERSON TOOK OVER. Well let me change that, I say no memory but it's coming back slowly. i remember a lot of things.But it's that big chunk of time for that month or month and a half that is total amnesia (but coming back) . So anyway here I am. I am a great sales/customer service/ trainer person and hopefully in time these other things will improve so I can get a full time job. that is near me. But - right now - ?????

I know these are very hard times for everyone.. gosh, it's been a terrible year for most people. I know most of you can't afford to do anything but if you could share this Gofundme i would be so grateful . Some of you helped me when when I had a problem with the nine feeding stations for abandoned animals about a year and a half to 2 years ago.. I'm sorry that I even have to put this out there again. It really is quite embarrassing but -
I love my kitties like family. I am devestated. I know they are all getting old and are going to die at some point but I can't just let them go without trying. I'm just not ready to let them go.
