Not dead yet, but getting there fast. Help Kat
I'm Kat; an old gal, a widow, a writer and soon to be homeless. I've got Sjogren's syndrome which is an auto-immune disorder. If you've never heard of Sjogren's, join the club... neither had I before it destroyed my future. I don't have a real home, but have lived with relatives for the past few years. But now, even that safety net has been yanked out and I've got nowhere to go. I've been on the waiting list for subsidized govt housing for nearly a year now, but that's like hunting unicorns.
My disability prevents me from working a regular job, so my SSRI is all I've got. It wasn't enough even before the economy went to hell, but now, I'm virtually destitute. Still, I'm not without prospects. I write online content and have hopes of self-publishing a book. But right now, I don't even have a laptop or wifi. So none of that can happen if I'm living in my car.
I have 2 cats who are like my children. They're both older and therefore, unadoptable. At present, it appears the only solution is to have both my cats put down. Doing so is going to destroy me. My cats have to die, because I'm unable to properly care for them. That's a twisted irony I can't even contemplate.
I'm too old and too sick to survive living on the street. And if my life changes that dramatically, I don't think I'd have the will to continue anyway. I need a few months free & clear; I need time to regroup; I need a base of operations. And I need your help to afford a place to stay.
