Leah Needs Your Help to Keep Her Home

Donation protected
My name is Leah. For the past three years I've been in an abusive situation and just finally got out of it. Things have been difficult for me for awhile, I've had debilitating back pain that has made me disabled and altered my life in a very earth shattering way. Things I used to enjoy like going for walks, exploring the city, going on adventures out of town I can no longer do leaving me isolated and alone. The person I was with was also helping to care for me but became abusive and resentful towards me and I eventually was forced to kick him out. When I kicked him out we were receiving rental assistance in his name because we were struggling to pay rent due to me having to work part time because of my back and him never finding a job or attempting to work and earn money leaving me with all of the bills and other half of rent to pay on my own. When he was kicked out of my apartment the rental assistance was cut off but I was never contacted about it until I reached out to inquire about it two days before rent was due only to find it was cut off and they were not going to notify me. I've since then gotten more hours at work to make up for this and to ensure I can pay rent in the future but this month has been very tough for me as I don't have the funds to pay my rent this month and I'm facing an eviction. I hate having to ask for help but I desperately am in need of help. I have little to no money to my name right now, and I'm struggling to get back on my feet after losing everything. I've been homeless before and I don't want to go back to that, I have two cats I love and care about deeply and I don't want to lose them either, please anything helps if you can spare it I am desperate to the point where I'm having to reach out for help. I can draw you something, make you a free commission, anything you want please, I just need some help.

Edit: I've edited the goal amount for this post, hopefully the amount might not seem as daunting to donate to. If I'm able to get at least $500 in donations I should be able to come up with the other half of my rent on my own so I can cover June's rent. I've already received a $100 donation so I'm just $400 away from reaching my goal. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this and donate I appreciate you so much.
