Hello! My name is Sara, or 'Skitz' as I'm better known in most of the online community. Please note this is written 100% by a person; 0 AI is used. This is serious.

This fundraiser is for a dear friend of mine and my friends. I have known 'Lady Kimiko' or Kim for 7 years and in those 7 years I have never had her ask for a single thing from her friends. She has always been attentive and caring; she brings a smile to people's faces. She looks out for our communities as a moderator and content creator herself. She genuinely cares about the people in them, encouraging healthy behaviors. Unfortunately, she is currently facing an extreme crisis, so this is my time, and I hope yours- to help her where she's helped all the rest of us over the years.

The short of it, this fundraiser is to help Kim not be homeless.

The long of it: due to the utter incompetence and vileness of the people in her direct vicinity, she is in danger of being homeless. Kim is being evicted at the end of November from their current residence. Before you go thinking she did anything wrong or they are delinquent in their bills; her father was the one in charge and rather than having an OFFICIAL contract lease, tried skirting with a verbal agreement. She has been informed by the landlord they have 30 days to get out (which was at least partially generous on the brighter side) which puts her at homeless at the end of November.

Despite this massive fumble on her father's end; she has been his full-time caretaker. Her father is currently suffering from stage 4 bladder cancer which has metastasized into his bones. This has prevented her from having any sort of career or job. While she has been the primary caretaker her father, her father's girlfriend has been nothing but vile to her. Verbally abusing her at every opportunity and going so low as to send her daughter (same age as Kim) to threaten her and physically assault her (unsuccessfully). Her father plans to move in with this woman when they lose their current residence, but this is not a safe place for Kim to be. She deserves to be some place safe.

But what about her mother? Unfortunately, it's the same rough and tumble story. Kim's mother is similarly emotionally abusive, dismissive, and a good chunk of the source of Kim's mental issues. She refuses to get Kim any kind of medical assistance for any of her issues. She will not drive her to any appointments. She simply says 'It's your fault' and does not go further. She is not allowed to stay with her mother because she is currently 'without a job'.

Kim has reached out to both of her sisters and has been flat out denied with 0 offers for any sort of assistance.

She has nowhere to go, we are the last bastion.

Kim has actively been trying to acquire a job, but several mental and physical hurdles stand in the way, which we are currently trying to help her work through. Funds from this gofundme will likely help contribute towards medicine, which will facilitate better usage of public transport as she has no means of transporting herself. No one in her family will drive her to a job. Also, for anyone who has experienced unemployment in this current climate is painfully aware, getting a job is not easy, even after applying for hundreds of 'open positions' she hasn't heard so much as a call back nor an email.

Kim does suffer from several chronic illnesses, which severely impacts her day to day. She's very good at hiding it in calls, on streams and such but real-life stuff is a struggle for her. Among the issues include MAJOR anxiety, depression, long term exposure to mold & smoke (her father smokes in the house btw), carpal tunnel and a bunch of undiagnosed issues. The insurance she currently has does not cover her anxiety medications (Go Insurance company!) which is the main hurdle in getting her to be able to be more comfortable and functional.

The second part of her anxiety is that she has her (unofficial but we're working on it) emotional support animal. Bunny, her cat, has been her solid loyal companion for the last 8 years. While everything else is shattering, Bunny is her constant. There is a last resort for short term housing for Bunny, however Kim does not have the same luxuries.

Our goal is a minimum needed in order to make sure that she at the very least can establish her footing but the more dono's means more security on her front.

What have we done so far:

(It's not nothing)

What the money is going to go towards:

Our ultimate goal is about $5,000, this would cover several appointments, months of medicine, and ideally several months of short term/assisted housing depending on how that goes.

I will be updating this as we get more information and letting you all know what's happening, where the money is going etc. but here's the bullet points top down of the importance and money allocation. Please be aware that we're putting as much money as we can too towards the situation:

So, you're here, at the bottom, having presumably read everything. If not: Tldr: A selfless friend is one foot in the gutter of homelessness; we intend to help show that the world is at least half good.

If you can donate, please donate, $20, $5, you'd be surprised the difference it can make. If you truly cannot within your means, please consider sharing with your friends, on social media. Kim deserves better than the hand life is trying to deal her right now. Thank you for reading, thank you for sharing, thank you for considering donating.
