Hi, I’m Passion, an autistic disabled system, and I’ve recently escaped an abusive situation. I resided in a hoarder's home, in unsanitary conditions, no heating during winter, had problems with mold and mice, among other issues. The hoarder and the home both caused my health to decline and my disabilities to worsen. I had multiple preventable infections living there, not to mention all the emotional damage. I didn't have clean clothes to wear. I was unable to shower for more than two years. No one deserves to live in those conditions.

I am currently in temporary accommodation as I am registered homeless. With any luck, I should get a more suitable accommodation soon as I follow the correct channels, and will be able to have heating, wear clean clothes, have clean dishes, and live in a healthier space.

However, when I left my finances were not enough to cover food and essentials, and I still have a $500 bill from a few months ago left to be paid.

I am lucky enough and thankful that I am receiving help with housing costs, but in the meantime I do not have the means to feed myself or get toiletaries, nor clothing which I am currently short of as I left home with only a few belongings.

I am hoping to get my things back, but it will take time, and just for this month I am asking for help in order to make ends meet so I don't have to return to that place.

Please, help me stay out of that situation and live a life with dignity, so I can focus on improving my health. Anything helps. Thank you.
