Help Clara's Family Avoid Eviction and Regain Stability
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Clara Johnson. I have 3 children, ages 11, 10, and 5. On August 31st of last year, I was hospitalized for a month and diagnosed with Addison's Desease, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and Orthostatic Hypotention. Due to the critical role of cortisol in the body, I have dealt with significant issues that have made me unable to work since last August. During the last year I did and continue to do physical therapy and Occupational Therapy. I went from a wheel chair, to a walker, to a cane, to being able to walk again. I still deal with a lot of pain. I black out and end up back in the hospital sometimes.
Disability is taking a really long time to kick in. My children and I were blessed to be covered financially by my church for my rent during the first year. Unfortunately, I am currently being evicted January 31st. My car is due for repossession. My bank and just about everything else I have have been shut off. My phone and my electric have gotten shut off several times and are at risk of being shut off again. I am looking for help while I wait for Health Related Social Needs to kick in. They will be paying for 6 months of rent and electric. I currently back owe from October to January's rent. They estimate it will take another 2 to 4 months before the Health Related Social Needs kicks in and at least another 6-12 months before Disability starts.
We are greatful for any help and support during this time. Thank you from our family to yours.
