Help a (Amaliaaa)Cat get back on her feet -Emergency relief

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Dahj (Amaliaaacat on Instagram that I am more well known as)

this is hard for me to ask for help with donations but at the moment I am exhausted of options..

At approx 4:39 am in Sunday, April 28th, 2024 I awoke to my apartment living room flooding. Water was gushing out of the walls, the ceiling, and the AC vents.

i attempted to call the emergency maintenance to no avail and attempted to mitigate the flooding myself as much as possible. But noticed with the flooding toxic mold was pouring out alongside it.

i then spent the next week taking time off work to argue almost relentlessly with office staff on switching units due to the massive mold spores infecting everything, i am also asthmatic which complicates matters further.

after spending 7 hours in the office and almost a full week of trying to get some relief i was finally granted a new unit in which to reside.

then on Thursday, May 30th my new unit flooded once again. I was promised multiple times that this new unit had no issues with flooding and mold (to which after talking with a neighbor found this to be completely untrue of which they have proof)

during that week Dallas had some massive thunderstorms so my unit flooded almost every day for almost a week while the office just put some buckets down and called it a day.

i consistently followed up on when repairs would be made and was constantly dismissed, was finally able to get someone in for repairs to which they put some putty in the cracks and once again called it a day, and did not even finish this part only part of it was done and massive cracks in the ceiling still remain and had to spend hours cleaning up after the giant mess they made while in there.

i was again went down the office approximately a week ago (it now being 6/20/2024) to let them know that once again repairs were not completed and my apartment left in a bad state. I once again reiterated that I did not want them in my unit without me there since I no longer trusted them at this point.

fast forward to yesterday 6/19/2024 and I receive multiple missed calls while at work, a voicemail and a text saying that indeed to contact the office ASAP.

after calling back they had asked me if I hired contractors for the repairs (I did not) I then asked who was let into my apartment to which I could overhear on the phone them trying to figure out who they were and why they were there (they had already let them into the unit at this point despite not knowing this seemingly)

I was then told that I would need to speak to the office Manager Chris due to massive damages.

my best friend and boyfriend were able to arrive on the scene before me as I was still attempting to get out of work to find that my entire unit was flooded due to the repairman/contractor damaging the sprinkler system within the unit.

causing massive flooding to the point it was leaking into the hallways and my neighbors unit as well. Almost everything I owned was destroyed in this flood. Furniture, countless books, art, gifts given to me, vinyls, electronics, etc.

i have made demands to be let out of my lease but as of now am unable to afford new housing and moving costs right off the bat and may now need to hire a lawyer regarding legal action in this case. I have to make appointments for doctors visits to test my lungs as I’ve had a non stop cough since the mold incident in April (another neighbor saying she has also had health problems relating to this in her unit). I also have to take Tako (cat) to the vet as she was soaked head to toe in the contaminated water and while she is pretty traumatized seems okay as of now but would feel much more peace of mind at having her checked out.

once again I hate to ask this of anyone but I exhausted of resources as this has been an ongoing issue for months now and have already spent in the realm of $2000 in previous damages and moving costs related to this.

Thank you all for your support and understanding regarding this matter and any little donation would mean the world to me right now as I try to get back on my feet…

thank you so, so much for reading this.
