This is long but please read,

My name is Jodi. I’m creating this go fund me, reluctantly. Anyone who knows me, knows I never ask for help but desperate times call for desperate measures.

I have Multiple Sclerosis and I’ve struggled, a lot, for the past few years. I don’t complain about it. With that, and increasing issues with chronic migraines, I was getting progressively worse. I came to the conclusion that my job was contributing to my declining health. I was losing more time during shifts in extreme pain and getting worse every day.

I decided it was time to focus on my health. I took a leave of absence and after a few months the migraines were finally starting to get better. Ok, let’s try going back to work. Within a few days, the migraines were back with a vengeance and the stress was killing me. My MS was getting so bad, I was not walking well at all. More time on leave and the migraines are easing and my stress was better.

I made the decision to resign and focus on my health. Fast forward 3 months, I went back to driving for Uber and Lyft, that I started years ago and I loved it and I was much better physically. I was starting to feel better, my migraines were hardly a problem and I was finally starting to walk better and improve overall.

This week my landlord informed me he wants to sell the house. My son and I have lived in this house for 4.5 years. I went through my entire savings in the year I had struggled with my health because I had taken so much time off of work.

I was finally feeling better and then this news. Now I can’t walk again because of the stress and my migraines are constant.

Our previous residence , we had the SAME ISSUE. Our landlord wanted to sell our house immediately which landed us here.

So now my son and I have a month, at the most to find a home AGAIN. I’ve found a couple of handicapped friendly places. I am trying to buy something because getting booted out of TWO houses in the past 5 years, because a landlord wants to sell the house, has taken its toll on my health and I can’t do this again.

The 2 homes I’ve found are affordable for me but no savings means no down payment. I also have to hire movers because I have no way to do it myself. My friends have helped me move twice since 2018 and I can’t ask them again. The thought of it is stressful on its own.

My son is my care taker for all intents and purposes and it’s just he, and I, and our 7 furry companions.

I’m asking for any help at all. If you can’t donate, I understand, it’s tough out there but if you could share this and spread the word, I’d appreciate it.

Thank you,

Jodi, Jaxon, and our furry family
