Hi, it's me Heidi. This is not something I'd ever thought I would need to do, but here I am. I'd like to say that this is for some big important charity, but unfortunately it's not, it's for me. Through a series of unfortunate events, I found myself evicted from my house that I was renting in Perkinston MS. this past Tuesday. I knew things were going sideways, and I thought I was handling things properly, but I was not. At the moment I'm staying a few days at a friend's house in Long Beach, MS. But I can't stay but a few days. Back in April, I asked the man I was dating to move in. He was a roofer. He injured an ankle at work. Which normally wouldn't be that big a deal. However, he already has titanium and metal in both legs from the knees down, from a previous car accident and knee problems. He hasn't been able to work since then. I've been on Social Security Disability since last year. I have a type of leukemia called T-LGL leukemia, and Fibromyalgia and some other medical diagnosis as well. It got too difficult for us and we started slipping behind in bills. I tried to do a couple of small loans. But it ended up hurting us in the long run. I know I'm not perfect, I'm sure I made some decisions that weren't thought out well, but I guess I panicked. And now I see just how fast it happens. Within a few short months it went downhill. Throw in some car repairs, and I ended up not paying my bills properly. And now we've been evicted. I had applied for help with Hancock Resource center, unfortunately it was not processed fast enough to prevent this from happening. This is an agency who is handling the federal money issued for covid 19. I'm allowed to go get my things on Friday September 17 from 8-12. Unfortunately, I have no money to get a U-Haul to make this happen. Or to be able to rent another place. My next check isn't until October 13th. I get paid on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month. We desperately need help. I've never been in this position before. I see just how fast becoming homeless can happen.

I'm embarrassed having to ask for help, but at this point I have to put my pride aside and reach out for help. I never thought this could happen to me, but it has. I hate having to ask for help but I'm worried about what will happen to me in a health related way. I'm very open to catching anything bacterial, fungal or viral because of the leukemia. I'm scared and feeling hopeless. I'm hoping that by swallowing my pride and reaching out to my friends, no matter how embarrassing, it will help.

Just know how grateful I am to anyone who can spare anything to help me. Any small amount would add up. I would not be able to thank you all enough. I am very humbled by all of this. I can only ask that God bless you and your family.
