My name is Mari, I'm 26 years old and a self-taught artist who's also studying child psychology and visual arts. I've never been the type to come out and ask for help (because I'm stubborn and like to do things on my own), but my current situation has left me no choice but to ask for help.

While I am not homeless right now, my family has made it very clear to me that they don't want me in the house at all. I won't go into details, but I will say the situation turned into a D.V. situation that led to me having a stress-induced seizure. I am no longer safe at home nor do they want me there (they're actively ignoring me and acting like I do not exist).

I am also currently going to a neurologist for stress-induced seizures (like the one I had after the D.V.) and I might have to have treatment that might not be covered by my insurance.

All I'm asking is for some help for me to move out with my two cats and get back on my feet. I'm desperately looking for somewhere to go so I don't end up sleeping in my car with both of my cats. I'm also looking for a second job to help me save up more than what I have currently. I feel awful reaching out publicly, but I fear I don't have many options anymore.
