Prevent Homelessness: Urgent Move Needed
Donation protected
I need to move to somewhere safe. I am currently in Maywood and am in a dangerous situation. I found a potential place in Elgin, but it is $800/month with a $200 move in fee. I only have $700 and don't know how I will pay for next months rent at that price. I paid $900 (rent + security deposit) to rent a room in Maywood. I need to leave ASAP but was informed I'm not getting my security deposit back.
I am disabled and have had 8 foot & lower leg surgeries since 2020. I've been waiting over 3 years on my oldest SSDI case, but I've also reapplied for SSDI and applied for SSI. Yes, I have a lawyer, but this is just how it is. If I were 50 years old instead of 34, I would have been approved already.
This does not mean I don't want to work. I currently sell things on Poshmark and Mercari, but I'm also looking to work part time for an employer who will accommodate my health conditions.
Please help me and my 2 cats avoid homelessness and living in my car. Please help me, because I'm ready to just give up completely.
