Young Orphan and Elder Caregiver: Need Support

Donation protected
I am 21 years old in the United States of America. In my teens I was raised as a caregiver for my mother who had many medical emergencies including Heart Failure. She passed away right before I turned 19 which left me orphaned, I've lived with my grandmother who I am now the primary caregiver for.

For almost 2 years after her passing, I was able to make a start in my life and worked at a job I genuinely enjoyed, but her health is faltering, she has dementia that has been worsening for the past half year. I've had to quit my job to care for her and have gotten very little support caring for both my mom and grandma. I've had no time to focus on work, any possibility of schooling, or learning to drive. I've spent my life taking care of others only to have backs turned on me when I was no longer of use.

I am now in a situation where the house is being sold and I have to find somewhere to live or I will be homeless and getting no help from my uncles who are selling this house.

all funds are for financial aid in housing and to hopefully buy back my grandmothers house one day
