Disabled Woman Who Needs Home
Donation protected
I am a 33 year old woman who unfortunately struggles immensely with health. I have fibromyalgia, crohns disease (with arthritic complication), ehlers danlos syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and generalized anxiety disorder. Life is sometimes hard, but I always try my best to keep my head up and plow through. My disabilities are not fatal, but they are forever and often leave me incapable of doing many of the things I once loved and held dear.
This past April my home sustained an accidental fire. There are no working lights in the kitchen, no hot water heater (thankfully I have friends kind enough to allow me to use their showers), and a mountain of bills I can not cover alone.
The only thing keeping me going, motivating me to continue waking each day, are my three dogs. My furry support system. My three little best friends. One of my dogs has canine epilepsy for which he gets medication twice per day. My other two, ever the sympathetic creatures, don't like to see me sad or hurting and do their best to cheer me up and/or distract me. They are so duitiful in doing so, my MD actually made the steps to have them certified and protected so they could accompany me to the hospital for tests, medication infusions, etc, as a way to help me stay relaxed and not overly fearful.
So here comes the real kicker. I need to leave my burned home, but I have been struggling immensely to secure a home for us. Most renters do not want to rent to a tenent with three animals. I understand that. But to part with even one of these sweet souls I fear will be incredibly detrimental to my well being. My doctor and counselor also fear the same.
So what I feel I need help with is raising funds in the hopes of purchasing a modest trailer home where I may be able to continue living with this extremely valuable little dog pack of mine. I don't need all the bells and whistles, but I do need a safe and sturdy home.
I have a limited amount of time in which to figure this out. I feel lost and scared. Those emotions are taking a toll of their own on my health. The sooner I can I figure this out and have a home, the better.
