Help Save Her Home: Donate Now

I am asking for help for someone that is close to me but due to the sensitivity of her issues, is asking to remain anonymous. She was diagnosed with post covid depression and spent a year unable to work and wiped out her entire savings when she couldn't work. Due to this, she ended up falling behind on her mortgage payments. It took a year and repeated dr's visits before they figured out she had depression and clinically diagnosed PTSD from some things that happened to her almost 20 years earlier when she dated. Apparently she had PTSD for almost 20 years but didn't recognize the symptoms. She only dated for 2 years and became afraid of men and couldn't date but didn't realize that was from ptsd. She was so traumatized and ashamed by what some men she dated did to her, she never admitted to anyone what happened until about a year ago when she started having mental health issues from it. She spent the past 2 decades blaming herself for what happened which is very common with sex crime victims. She never knew any other woman this happened to once, yet she was repeatedly targeted for this same type of crime by men she dated. After finally admitting to close friends and family what happened, going to therapy and researching this type of crime once she finally admitted what happened. She realized it wasn't her fault and discovered there is only 1 reason women are targeted for this type of crime. Its because of their looks and not what she believed all these years which was that she must have done something to deserve it. The type of crime that happened to her causes 51% of its victims to contemplate suicide and 78% to have ptsd. Most men who commit this type of crime aren't typically repeat offenders and typically only target 1 woman in their lifetime. She didn't date creepy guys or criminals. She dated normal, clean cut all American guys that were law abiding citizens, had great careers and had all appearances of being moral men. They were the kind of guys most women would have been proud to introduce to their family. She wanted me to point this out because most people will immediately blame her that she must have had bad judgment or been dating creepy guys that were criminals and that was not the case. She started going to therapy and is still desperately trying to get better. Depression is so different than what she stereotyped it to be. In her case, she found out in therapy, it basically reprogrammed her brain and her mind forgot how to close a trauma. Before she had depression, she would have a traumatic experience resurface but could eventually manage to shut it down. Once she got depression, she would have these traumatic experiences surface and her mind won't let her shut it down because it forgot how. Due to this, these memories just replay in her head and she feels revictimized 800 times a day reliving these experiences. Due to this, she struggled to do the successful career she had because her mind is so overwhelmed with these flashbacks replaying in her head, she can't concentrate or focus. Last year, she finally found 1 job she could do which is delivering doordash. Because this job doesn't require much thought or concentration, she can drive around and deliver orders with all of this going on in her head. However, by the time she discovered she could do that job with depression and ptsd, she had fallen far enough behind on her mortgage payments and the only option the mortgage company would offer is making double payments to get caught up. Delivering dd, she doesn't make enough money to make double mortgage payments and therefore kept being unable to make that payment. Her house is being foreclosed on and she's running out of time before she loses it. Now on top of dealing with depression and ptsd she has the added crippling stress of losing her home which has crippled her from making progress with the other issues. She owes $6500 in backed payments to keep her home from being foreclosed on. If she can pay that, she can keep from losing her home and be able to resume her normal mortgage payment (which she can afford on her dd income) instead of double payments. She has pursued all options from refinancing, to striking out with every program that says it can help people in this situation from lutheran social services, community outreach and sd cares. She tried every company that people thought could help and struck out. If we can help her from losing her home which is making all the other issues worse, she can start refocusing again on her mental health instead of losing her house. She is hoping and trying to get back to the successful career she had but hasn't been making progress due to the home issue. There are reasons selling her home would not be in her best interest.
