Help my dog and I survive
Donation protected
I am utterly stuck, and surely but slowly going under.
I desperately am seeking help getting my dog and I out of Vegas, where the price of my current living situation has become far too much. My goal is to get away from the expensive west coast city areas and move to the east coast suburbs being unable to afford it and to being near the people I care about. Banks tell me no on loans for moving costs or for debt consolidation, and I absolutely must go somewhere cheaper, but I have a lot of uphill struggles that I rely on others to help me with.
Moving heavy objects, for example, is not possible for me to do. I have EDS, an incurable disorder that makes my joints weak and stops me from being able to move heavy things altogether. To make it even worse, I have nerve damage and pains in my hands from a car accident when I was younger. There are often days where I am in pain simply existing with it, so trying to load all of my things into a truck isn't really doable for me, and I have no friends in the city who can help me with this so my only choice is sadly to pay someone to do it for me, which adds to more costs. To get my stuff across the country, I would also need a uhaul with a trailer for my car, which is where a lot of the required money comes from.
I live month to month right now, I stress out every day about not getting evicted because if I did, I'd simply be homeless and have nowhere to go, with no way of working. I'd lose countless valuables which have so much meaning to me, as they were left by my grandparents who I loved with every part of me and miss very often. I've really exhausted all of my options and I sometimes feel like a burden to my friends who have to help me with rent occasionally. If I can get out to the east coast I can make it on my own and be independent, so I'm trying really hard but its a challenge when you end up with 0$ at the end of every month and have no way of actually pulling yourself out of it. So I'm turning to you all, my friends, my chosen family, and everyone who has ever supported me in this last cry for help.
I don't want to let anyone down. I don't want to let myself down, or my dog down, and I don't want anyone to be disappointed in me. I've always been terrible at asking for help and that's a large part of why I got into this situation in the first place, but I know I can make it with just a push. I feel really weird and scared about asking for help, but thank you for taking the time to read and support if you choose to do so. I won't ever be able to truly express how thankful I am ❤️
