Get our family out of a Uhaul van

Hi everyone, I'm making this GoFundMe to ask for help for my family to get us into a home. It's a long story and I'm grateful to everyone who reads this. My name is Emily and I'm 26. My family consists of me, my 2 dogs Leo and Bagel, my bird Sangria, and my mom Donna. I've been financially taking care of my mom since I got out of highschool. Only in the last few years have I needed to physically care for her as her health has declined. My mother has degenerative disc disease, she has plates and screws in her neck, a spinal tumor, and crushed/missing discs all along her spine. She's had 2 strokes, she needs a new knee and a new shoulder, she has stage 3 gastroparesis, a prolapsed bladder and uterus, and we've been in the process of getting her on disability since I was 15. I believe we've gone all the way through the process 3 times now. We have a lawyer, and we appealed the denial they sent. So we hope she'll have her disability soon. They always find a way to turn her down, even though my mom can hardly walk. She doesn't even leave her bed most of the time. I am her sole supporter, financially and otherwise. Over the years I've fallen behind and reached out for help, but this time is different. We're going through too much and we need help. It's just me. We have no family to help. If I get sick or if something happens that causes a surprise expense, then I'm screwed. I fall behind. And I play catch up for months, but I'm only one girl. I make 20 an hour, I work full time. But between gas, bills, and everyday essential expenses, I've got nothing. We found out that my landlord was kicking us out so he could sell the house when our lease was up, and I took this opportunity to try and find a house closer to work so i could save on gas, AND have 3 hours of my day back to have some semblance of a life outside of work(since my commute takes up so much of my precious time, I end up putting my needs aside since I'm out of time! No time, just work and sleep). With my 2 friends that also work with me, we've come up with a plan to get a house together and share the rent and bills as roommates. That way, we'll all have a chance to save some money and we'll all be closer to work. But I wasn't able to find a house in time and we had to leave our old one. I had a plan though! My little brother was going to take our mom, and let her have his spare bedroom. Along with Leo and my bird. Then me and Bagel would couch-hop and stay in the mustang. It would have worked fine, I would have been able to only worry about myself for a time, and save money and find a house. But the day of moving, I got into a fight with my little brother and his seriously deranged girlfriend. My mom had nothing to do with it. But they wanted to be petty and they rescinded their offer for mom to stay with them. Now here I am, with a last second change of plans. I had to figure out how to keep my mom alive. Where would she sleep? How would I save money for a new house if I had to pay for a motel?? So at the last second, I decided to try camping in a uhaul van. Because compared to 150+ dollars a night, its 148 dollars for a week with the van. I put my mattress and dogs in the back, and parked it near my job. And since then, we've been living in it. I've been using planet fitness for a shower, and living completely out of my car while sleeping in the van with mom at night. Bagel goes to work with me and stays in my car. When it's cold I keep the heated seat plugged in and occasionally turn my car on. It's not ideal but it's what has to be done. It gets super cold in the van though. I had to buy a Little Buddy propane heater, and when it's super cold we'll keep the van running at the same time as the heater. But all of this to say, this isn't working. This is costing me too much money. Between gas to keep the van on, 20 dollars a day, mileage, and propane, this is taking a huge chunk of my money. My mom is also getting sick doing this. She's being forced to do more than she's able to, and it's killing her. It's always freezing and this whole situation is extremely hard on her. I'm worried about her heart, her blood pressure, and her in general. And I'm worried about my pups. I'm about to list everything that has gone wrong that HAS or soon WILL cost me money.

*my steering shaft on my mustang has broken, we welded it together until I can afford to fix it for real, but it could come undone at any second during my drive so I have to drive slow everywhere just in case.

*My car is illegal. I have expired tags and no insurance, since I've been mostly focused on moving and taking care of mom. And getting to work, I let my own problems go.

*I have a 170 dollar ticket to pay for not having tags

*my transmission is going out and so is a million other things. Car is just breaking, it's all I've got.

*Since my little brother left us hanging, me and my mom had to pack and load everything all by ourselves and it took a lot longer than it was supposed to if we had had help. So I had to extend my time with the big uhaul truck by 4 days. That was a lot of money

*I had to buy 2 storage units to fit my entire house in. The plan was going to be to only need them for a couple weeks because I should have had a house by now, but now I'm going to have to pay for those on the 1st.

*Leo is getting sick. He's getting a runny nose and not acting like himself. I need to get him into a vet

*We don't have a house, so we can't cook food. I've been giving my mom money for food while I'm at work and that is also adding up.

*The 85 dollar propane heater and the 6 dollar tanks that last around 6 hours. That's 24 dollars a night in heat.

I need help guys. I really really need help. I'm asking for donations so I can get my mom and dogs out of this van and into a home. All of the money I'm making is going right to surviving. I have nothing to show for my hard work. I almost lost my job because of how I had to extend my time off when my brother bailed on me. If not for me, please donate to help my mom or my pups. I'm doing EVERYTHING I can. Absolutely everything. But as long as I have to pay for these things, there's no way I'll be able to put a deposit on a house. I hope you read this far, and if you did, please share this with anyone you think could help me. I don't know what to do I am so lost and so so tired. I didn't ask for these responsibilities but this is what you do for family. I will NEVER abandon MY MOM. I don't think I will ever forgive my little brother for letting our mother be homeless. I would have never NEVER tried to move down here if he hadn't said she could stay with him. And now I'm stuck.

Please
