<div>Hi, my name's Brenda and I'm facing homelessness within the next 2 months. I'm desperately trying to avoid that because I know how much harder it'll be to come back from that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yes, I'm on income assistance but I get $940 a month. Less than a thousand a month is extremely difficult to do. 
</div>
<div>* I've sold everything i had that was of any value. 
</div>
<div>*I already asked friends a year ago for help (no family to ask) and only 1 person donated back then. 
</div>
<div>*I've already lowered my expenses the most that I can.
</div>
<div>*I basically just have rent, phone, food, and a credit card I'm being harassed over. I'm making the smallest payment I can on that.
</div>
<div>*I owe my roommate several months rent.Hes been incredibly generous and im grateful. 
</div>
<div>*I'm already losing my car. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am currently not able to work due to health problems. I have ADHD, anxiety, depression. I have chronic lower back pain, an injured knee, stomach issues which means dietary restrictions.
</div>
<div>I am able to work part-time if it's something I can physically and mentally do. And my doctor signs off on it. 
</div>
<div>But most jobs require you to be able to either lift up to 50lbs or be on your feet all day. I can't do either. My resume is mostly physical experience. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've been applying for jobs for 18 months and have only had 2 call backs. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've placed my own ads for petsitting,  house-sitting, painting small murals, etc. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I hate that this is something I have to resort to but I'm at my wits end. I don't know what else to do but to keep applying and just work on my health in the meantime. But I have bills racking up and I'm about to lose the roof over my head if I can't pay some of the rent I owe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm just looking for enough to get me through the next 2-3 months and take some of the stress off of me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even $10 would help. It all adds up. 
</div>
<div>Thank you so much in advance. I will find ways to pay it forward. I am currently volunteering for the City of Edmonton and am looking into some other things. 
</div>
