Funds to support transitional housing for Disabled Stay at Home Mom

Unfortunately I like a lot of women sometimes get put in a situation and our plan B isn’t ready when we need it.

Right now I don’t have stable or secure housing, I’m kinda on edge every day wondering about the shelter or crashing at a friends house.

I am diagnosed fibromyalgia, Degenerative Disc Disease, Pelvic congestion syndrome+ and I suffer from mental health issues like OCD/ADHD/Bipolar 2 disorder…+

Health info: [As of now I am expected to have two separate surgeries. One is a stent surgery which I’m expected to be out 6 months at least and the other is a disc replacement that I’m also expected to have a 6 month recovery time. With my spinal condition being my degenerative I’m expected to have more. And also will be getting more injection treatments once surgeries are completed. I also have periods where I don’t have muscle control of extremities, loose the ability to chew solid food, I herniate my back and suffer from pinched nerves in my spine and joints from frequent dislocations. These are just some examples of why working for me is simply not an option.

One thing people know about me is I take immmmmense pride in being a good mom. Being at home I think it’s best for me to have a stable living situation since commuting to his father’s to watch our son during the day would be expensive since I can’t drive cause of my health.

Not being able to work wasn’t in my plan, and while I’m working with an attorney to get temporary and long term disability benefits it won’t be enough to cover expenses. Which is why I’d like to really invest in my craft as an artist, baker and chef. Unfortunately it takes money to make money but I’m very creative and have realistic goals if I’m able to get started up.

Goals

first secure housing for me and my son, enroll him part time in daycare before he starts school next year. And better my health

A small business I run myself makes the most sense. I can account for health flares, emergencies, doctors appointments, treatments… And hopefully once in a better living environment I’ll be able to my health more stable and can work a “traditional” job/get my degree. I’ve got big goals but selling some paintings, fresh bread and soft pretzels, that’s something realistic I can do to improve me and my son’s lives.

So basically helping me out would help secure housing for me and my son, help cover expenses while I await benefits and help me turn things around. Any help is greatly appreciated ❤️
