Help me keep my emotional support cat in recovery
Donation protected
Hi. My name is Anderson, and I'm currently homeless, desperately searching for housing where I can have my baby, Juniper. I got her right around the time my connective tissue disease developed into neurological & cardiovascular disorders that affect every system in my body. She is a certified emotional support animal who helps me regulate my nervous system to better these symptoms, as well as manage my autism and severe mental illnesses.
I can't live at home anymore because my mom physically assaulted me several times in the last couple of months, and I'm going through mental health treatment as a result. I cannot function without her, and the stress of the situation has caused every symptom to flare up. Juniper is essential to my well-being, especially right now, and I feel unsafe without her. I am trying to find a sober house where I can take her, as it would be a more affordable option, but I still can't afford it.
This cat has kept me alive through debilitating illness, separating from my father, a severely abusive and violent relationship, sexual assault, substance use issues, eating disorders, & domestic violence. I am too sick to work or drive, so I spend most of my time trying to take care of myself, and Juniper is always with me. She lets me use her as a pillow when I cry, she works out with me, and she stays by my side when my mental & physical symptoms are at their worst. She is my other half. Please, help us.
