My name is Angela, and I’m reaching out for help for myself, my two dogs, and my friend who shares the lot bills with me. .

To make a very long story relatively short. Our human bodies have been exhausted and we have come together to try and to take care of one another as best we can. We both have long medical histories and can no longer work regular jobs. I have tried 3 times to go back to work since my last surgery back in May. He can barely make the car ride to town to get supplies. Truamatic brain injuries, infections, surgeries, and migraines just scratch the surface.

We have an empty lot that costs 250 a month. No house or buildings, just a dilapidated pop-up and a couple of tents. There the pole for power and the meter. We share a spigot with the adjoining lot and our neighbors pay the bill. I put the last of my funds on the electric account last month to keep the soace heaters running but it down to the last.

We've been out here the last few months, trying to keep warm, trying to scrape up calories and cleaning up years of trash on the lot so we can work on a garden and a structure safe enough to in habit year round. It is exhausting spending all your waking moments just trying to do the essential things like cooking, cleaning and sleeping. Nevermind the hygiene issue. And as a person with serious skin sensitivities and OCD, this has been a trial. I can not even get access to the skin medication that i need to keep my eczema from becoming so bad i get blood poisoning and have to go to the ER.

There is more. Plenty more. But rather than lay bare my woes for the world in hopes you pity my story enough to make a contribution, I'll keep it as short and as sweet as possible.

I had to take out a loan so I could afford to recover from major surgery less than a year after I left a 16 year long mistake. That 8k loan ruined me financially and now im not only not recovered but now my truck is about to get repossessed, my credit has sunk and i basically live out of that truck in a place so far from resources I dont have gas to even go to a job interview if i wanted.

The bottom is not where i belong. Im educated. I used to be on top of my game but today I cant even play. I need so much. A good bath. Enough food that my already sketchy blood sugar doesnt finally kill me. I need a therapist, new meds for my heart, bloodsugar, headaches, skin. Or a follow up on my hysterectomy last year that was not 100 % the solution to all my problems.

I need time to really recover, get myself established in a state ive only been in a few months. Im facing eviction from the last place i have to go before its the actual woods. Maybe i can even find a way to keep my truck that is worth way more than the 8k i risked on that loan. Im only a couple of payments behind. I will appreciate anything. Hell, I don't even need cash per se. Except for the hardest bills, I can use anything from a gift card for gas to help navigating disability or building supplies and camping gear.
