Burned out and displaced

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Joseph Ortiz. I am 37 years old and disabled, partially paralyzed. On Wednesday, December 22, 2021 the apartment building I resided in (67th & Normal) caught fire and left me homeless. During the rescue my wheelchair was damaged and I lost everything. I haven't had any success in being placed in any shelter, as most of the single shelters aren't wheelchair accessible.  I am trying to raise enough money to start over. I am in need of a wheelchair, gloves with a grip, clothes, under clothing, shoes, a winter coat, toiletries, funds to cover 1st months rent and security deposit, and an apartment that accepts social security as income. No amount is too small and all donations and resources are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
