I’m trying to raise money because I am in an emergency situation.
I came to California at the invite of a good friend and as it turns out, he is not allowed to have visitors per his rental contract, and I was denied to be added to the lease.
Its not his fault, we’re both old and used to a world we’re you could have a friend who is in hard times live on your couch for a while, but no more, at least in this case.
I have no place to go here,
so I will soon be homeless.
My intent is to fix my bicycle which is being shipped to me soon but needs a new wheelset and brakes and a few other things.
I can do the work but I lost my tools at my last home and need a few wrenches at least.
When I left I was only able to take what I could carry. It was a bad situation and I am glad to put it in the past. Even had my chainsaw stolen. I just let it go.
I also am in sore need of camping gear. Tent, appropriate sleeping bag, and any simple cook items I am able to gather. Then I will find a safe peaceful place to heal from the last couple of years along with dealing with the results of several brain injuries over the last five years. In addition I have developed a painful condition in my feet called neuropathy, they feel like they are both frozen and on fire. The doctors at UNC said it could be from the head injuries as well as Peripheral Artery Disease. In the end they discharged me without doing much. My friend here said there was help here and a safe place to stay, but neither of us anticipated this from the rental agency.
I feel that if I can get these items and steered to a safe campsite I have a shot at healing and getting some of me back. The bicycle will allow me to find a safe place outside the city limits away from the numerous addicts and thieves prowling around this town, gentle Ukiah Ca., and allow me to also make my Dr.s appointments. I have professionals helping me medically but these items I have listed are simply not available. I have tried Social Services and churches and nothing is available .
Fair enough.
This is the last thing I ever thought I would do, scrapes my pride a bit, and I know I am not a child with leukemia, or an adorable pony who needs emergency surgery, but I’m against the wall and do not have any other ideas. Perhaps I set the goal too high and appear greedy. I really am not sure how much all of this is going to cost me, if things work out, but I assure you I am not asking to be funded for a vacation or some whimsical adventure, I am trying to survive at a base level currently, as simply, and functionally and humbly as I am able. Just can not get there in my own.
Well folks, if you read this far, thank you.
And any help at all is much appreciated.
Best possible regards,
Anthony Vaughn Hartline
