Hannah & Persey in a life crisis

Hello world,

For anyone that knows I’ve been having a really difficult time and I guess I really need some help for Persey and I now. I don’t do well asking for help like this, however I’m quite desperate and I don’t have anyone to fall back on for this kind of support for us.

This year has been an incredible struggle. Last year I got Lyme disease and since then my immune system and nervous system have been in a really bad way. I already have chronic health and pain conditions, including fibromyalgia, but this has really destabilised my body and system.

Since getting the Lyme my body has not been able to cope with minor virus and infections and I’ve been struggling with neuro-inflammation, which has had a massively debilitating impact on my life.

As a single parent I’ve not been able to rest or recover and this has led to a severe burnout cycle this year that has destroyed my physical and mental health.

At the end of May I had a really scary experience which meant I ended up in the hospital. My nervous system and brain exploded and my body just gave up working. I feel like I have a really long road to recovery and unfortunately I have not been able to focus on that. When I got home from the hospital I found we had been given a section 21 eviction notice to leave our home.

I have not been able to find us a new home in time and I need to leave here now as we have passed our eviction date.

It looks as though an option has arisen to temporarily rent a friend’s caravan in Scotland whilst they look to sell it. The loan I was relying on to cover removals costs has not come through and so I do not have the means for this. I also need funds to store our things whilst we find a permanent home.

On top of this my car has just died. After a full service I have been advised it is not safe to drive based on some work that needs doing, but unfortunately there may also be an engine issue which might make it not worth fixing, in which case I am really screwed, as I desperately need a car at least for us to move into right now! So I need to make sure I can cover fixing this one or sourcing an alternative.

I understand that most people are going through a really difficult time at the moment and so I don’t feel great about putting this out into the world. I don’t like to ask for help in this way, but life has really crippled me and I’m feeling really hopeless and overwhelmed by it all.

Thank you for reading - I’m really grateful for any help that can be spared.

Love Hannah & Persey
