Wings needs housing, desperately.

Donation protected
Okay, push is coming to shove... I'm not getting any responses to my offer to tutor people for pay, and I'm losing my place to live.

I need help desperately and I don't know where to go. If anyone can help me out with a donation, it might save me from going on the street. I've been living in a precarious and uncertain situation since I was kicked out on the street during COVID by my mother in law when she chose her abusive boyfriend over her own son and I.

I've been suffering with C-PTSD and unable to earn a living in this entire time. I've tried over these past five years to convince myself that I can make it if I just try hard enough, but the truth is, I have not been able to make it at all. I've been living in fear of homelessness the entire time, and trying to mask it, hoping I'd be able to fix my situation on my own. I was allowed to stay on this property where I'm living as the landlord was understanding of my situation, but with his increasing dementia, he's begun to act erratically and even quite aggressively toward me. He changes his mind by the day and is very confusing.

The landlord has been slowly cutting off my access to things, and today, he cut off my access to running water. I will no longer have a means to prepare food or bathe myself unless I go elsewhere. I'm in grave fear that as the landlord's senility sets in, he may do more aggressive things such as confiscate or damage my possessions. I beg anyone who reads this to try to help me if you can, I am -desperate-.

I have no savings, and no income outside of help from friends. I'm trying to apply for disability. I know I will have to give up most of my things and will end up somewhere really tiny, but I have to get out of here as soon as possible or I fear that the effects on my mental health will push me over the precarious edge I'm already sitting on. I just want to heal and enjoy my life, and contribute to the world around me. I want that so much but I'm stuck.

My asking amount is partly because of my uncertainty about what my future holds, and because my remaining means of transportation, a 46 year old Volvo wagon, is on its last legs and I don't have the means to keep doing repairs on it. I don't know whether I'll need less money, or more money, but I do know that I'm in straits. I still have all of my shop equipment for working on electronics and for cars, and I wish I could keep it all because as I heal, it is my ticket to a healthy income, but I appreciate that I may not be able to afford to keep any of it.

Please help.
