Urgent Help Needed for Shelter and Stability

Donation protected


Hello, my story is no different than any of yours. We had a home and a simple, quiet life. Everything changed for us in August of 2024. The home we lived in was part of a family trust that my father had set up. Before his death, he assured us we would not be forced out of the home. However, he died unexpectedly and before he could make the changes required for us to keep our home. For legal reasons, I cannot specify what happened, but we were forced out and the house was sold. With the small bit of money we did receive, I bought a 1991 RV and hoped we would be able to make it until the trust closed in October.

Unfortunately, the universe had other plans. We live in Tucson, and the summer has been harder on the RV AC than expected, and it failed not long after we had to move from the RV park. Before we had the RV, I had a good job that paid well but was remote and required high-speed internet. Without that, I was forced to quit. Now, we have no home or job. I have had several interviews, but they can't complete the hiring process without a physical address, and I can't get a physical address without a job. I am in a desperate situation as I pawned some of my belongings just to get a hotel for the weekend so my beloved pets don't have to suffer in the RV without AC in 100+ degrees weather.

On Monday, we will officially be homeless as I have $26 to my name and only enough food to feed my cats and pug until Monday. I never thought I would be here doing this. I am struggling to write this as I am neurodivergent and struggle with human interaction. My pets keep me sane and grounded. I cannot live without them. So friends who have helped as much as they can pushed me in a good way to set this up.

I have job offers in New Mexico but the RV will not make the drive; it barely made it the 7 miles from my prepaid storage unit to the motel. I have posted my RV for sale and will definitely take a loss if I am even able to sell it. I hate having to ask for help. I am very self-reliant and struggle with being helpless and desperate. A series of unfortunate events occurred and cascaded into my current situation. The money would be used to cover a hotel until the end of the month while I try to sell the RV and the rest would be used for a car that I can DoorDash in since I can't use the RV for dashing.
