Sudden unexpected loss of financial support.

Hi, my name is Kira and I am fundraising to pay my bills until I am able to find a job. My boyfriend of 8 years broke up with me completely out of the blue, and had been supporting me temporarily, for a little over a year, while I figured out some of my chronic illnesses and started to get answers and more effective treatments. I exhausted my savings and unemployment before I allowed him to support me. I don't really like relying on anyone, and this is a perfect example of why.

We lived together in his house, and he is living in the new house we just bought a little over a year ago while I live in the house we've been living together in for the last 7 years for a couple more months before I have to move as he wants to sell the house in the spring. We are also going through the CIR (committed intimate relationship laws/rights) process in Washington State which can take a few months to settle and there will be legal fees involved as well. We are trying to keep things amicable but even so, it still takes time to do all of the legal stuff involved.

I am suddenly without any funds coming in aside from a small ceramics sale that will net maybe a couple hundred dollars if I'm really lucky, which I will get paid in January. I am looking frantically for jobs I can do while also still being sick. I chose to add a photo of what can happen in the course of just a few hours or days when I have flares, which happen often when I'm stressed as one can imagine as often my disabilities appear invisible or subtle enough to think I just got fatter rather than my neck swelling from constant moderate anaphylaxis from MCAS.

I do not qualify for disability benefits - I have researched this extensively, so please do not try to send me resources based on disability as my combination of chronic illnesses and the level of disability within each diagnoses do not apply. At this point, I am now just running on credit cards until I can find a job. It's the slow season for hiring right now, and I can only do part-time remote work until I am able to work on my stamina, and also figure out a lot of my life which takes a lot of time and energy on top of my poor health.

In the meantime, I need to pay my extensive medical bills and general living bills for the foreseeable future. I think anyone who knows me know I wouldn't ask if I didn't really need it. Ahhh this is embarrassing, but here we are. Even $5 can help, and spreading the word can help a ton.

I know there are people out there that need this more than I do, so this is really hard for me to ask for. The funds will be used purely for living + medical expenses. Anything can help and I am ever so grateful for anyone who can help tide me over until I get things settled. It's a big number, I know. Hopefully not a ridiculous number. But it's what I need to hold me over for the next couple/few months depending on my situation. It may also help pay toward first/last/deposit on a new place to live. Thank you for taking the time to read this. And if you're able to donate, I will be forever grateful.

Thank you,

Kira
