Urgent Move and Recovering from Loss of Mom

Donation protected
UPDATE: 
12/25
While settling in the new apartment, we all got sick and quarantined for two weeks. I'm still in search of a job, I'm just trying to get past the setbacks. Yesterday a family member broke my windshield with his fist, and while the insurance is trying to make him pay for the repair: I may still have to pay out of pocket myself.
Every single donation so far has been a massive help. We were able to get to today with it, but now I'm asking for help from anyone who's able to donate (and I understand if you aren't)
Thank you everybody so much

In February 2020, I quit my job and moved home to take care of my Mema around tbe clock.
 She had dementia, and my dad couldn't do it by himself anymore. 

Unfortunately she did NOT qualify to be a part of IHSS due to her insurance, so I was not able to recieve government pay for the 8 months of intensive care I gave her around the clock; because of this I had to get on unemployment as I did not have time to have a job. I was getting a good amount at first due to the Covid bonuses, but now those are gone and it's not a living wage. 

In September, 2020, Mema passed away, joining my Papa in heaven and finally not having to suffer anymore. 
She was much more than a grandmother to me. Mema and Papa adopted me as a baby and raised me my entire life. She was my mom, my rock, and my inspiration. 

Now I'm applying to jobs, but I wasn't able to start until November as I am the SOLE person responsible for Mema's things, arrangements, paperwork, etc. Since September I've been extremely busy dealing with these (frankly not even having time to grieve).

I am expected to be out of the house I'm living in by the end of December; but for our mental health and financial survival, my partner and I must move before then.

With your donations, I will be able to: rent a moving truck, pay the first month's rent and bills at the new place, pay the 2nd month storage unit fee, buy myself new work shoes, buy groceries, and food for my cat and dog. If donations exceed the goal, the money will go to the next month's rent and bills as well as gas and credit card debt. 

ANY donation amount, shares, or well wishes are so extremely appreciated, even if just $5 or a share to your Facebook page. I'm thankful to everyone who has read this and hope to start 2021 with a new job and at least somewhat on my feet!
