Keep LYX Afloat And Avoid Eviction!

Hey there, I'm called Lady and I need help! I am an artist and human in need of a cushion.

My situation is a little tangled overall, but the biggest point of alarm is that today, November 19th, 2022, my landlord left a notice dated the 9th saying this was ten day notice of eviction. I don't know yet what this means or what he will try to do, but I'm hoping to raise what I owe him and enough for the quickly approaching December at least.

I became disabled with a spinal problem a year ago and while my physical therapy is making great progress, and I think I'll be walking properly again in early 2023, I've been unable to do quite a lot and have also been unable to scrape together enough for my rent for a few months. I haven't been personally to my local grocery store in over a year because it is too painful to walk the length of it to get a gallon of milk.

I don't know where 2023 puts me exactly. I don't know what the landlord will do even with payment. I don't have a job to get me into a new place yet. I don't want to move very much, nor do I terribly want this experience looming over me later, but I at least want to try to get through this year and my last few weeks of physical therapy.

My debt to my landlord is 4 months worth, here on his letter taped to my door. I have cropped out his contact info, but this is otherwise the whole notice.

I rounded the $2,475 to an even $3000 to get December in also. I pay $670 a month. (I updated this total to hopefully cover the amount gofundme will take in service fees, I had forgotten to take that into consideration!)

I have assistance for nearly all my utilities - EBT and heating assistance and reduced cost electricity, among other things, so I'm not asking for anything to cover that.

I'm trying really hard to find a job I can do from home. I can't make enough from my art alone, as much as I want to and keep trying to. If you know a place in need of an illustrator, consider me! You can see things I do on my art blog.

Any possible excess would go toward more of the same kind of living costs. Insurance and internet payments, that kind of thing.

Thanks for taking a look, and particularly if you wish to help. Be kind to each other out there, and take time today - if you are so fortunate - to be very happy your spine is doing the job it is supposed to!
