I want to take a moment to thank all those who have been able to help me so far.As many of you know I had a terrible accident that caused a fracture in my left elbow and three in my pelvis. I am reaching out again for help because my situation has become more dire but yet more hopeful and I want to open up in a way that I haven’t been able to in the past. In the last few years I was in a very verbally and emotionally abusive relationship. On top of having times where I struggled with my sobriety there were unfortunately moments of physical abuse as well. I don’t say this for pity or to blame anyone for anything but to explain why some of you may not have recognized me anymore. After my accident on 1/30/25 my eyes were finally opened to the life that I was allowing myself to live. I am drowning in debt and was being evicted. At that moment I was desperate to hold on to my apartment because it was what I knew and what I grew to be comfortable with, but I finally opened my eyes and started to want more for myself. I am not somewhere safe getting treatment for substance abuse and mental health. While I was sober since Aug I wasn’t living a sober life from here I will be able to get into a woman’s sober living house. I am deciding to take charge of my life and put myself in a safe space and make myself a priority. Unfortunately I am still not working yet and was denied PFML by the state. I am having a very hard time getting in touch with DTA for emergency cash assistance. Sober living is not free and doesn’t take insurance. I still really need help, I will be leaving here in a couple of weeks and will need $240 a week for rent until I can get back to work. I would be so appreciative and grateful for help to just get settled for my first month. Even if someone could help with some tips for getting in touch with DTA I would love that. Thank you all again I would be here without my wonderful friends and family. God bless.
