Help Me Stay Housed After Loss & Illness

Donation protected
I’ve been doing everything I can to stay stable, continue working, and maintain my sobriety, but the past few weeks have been incredibly overwhelming.

At the end of April, I became seriously ill and had to miss nearly two weeks of work, including multiple emergency room visits. While I was still recovering, I experienced an unexpected and heartbreaking loss—my father passed away on the morning of April 30th. I am currently grieving while trying to manage my health, finances, and daily responsibilities.

Because of my illness and missed work, I fell behind on my March rent, which totals $1,464. Unfortunately, my landlord is not able to accept partial payments for that balance, and I have not been able to secure enough assistance to cover it. I already paid for April Rent, I do have enough to pay my May rent, but I urgently need help paying off March in full to avoid losing my home.

I have been actively working, budgeting, and reaching out for support wherever possible. Earlier this year, I was approved for Social Security benefits, but delays and unexpected expenses made it difficult to catch up fully. Despite everything, I am proud to say I have remained over 500 days sober, and I am committed to continuing my recovery and stability.

Right now, I am asking for help during one of the most difficult moments in my life. Your support will go directly toward paying off my overdue March rent and helping me stay housed during this time of grief and recovery.

Any amount truly helps, and even sharing this means so much to me. Thank you for your kindness, support, and compassion during this time.

God bless you all.
