You think you could trust your grandmother..

Hi my name is phoenix, im fundraising for emergency funds to pay my strata fees, to replace money that was stolen from me by my grandmother.

I am disabled. I suffer with severe mental health depression, and physical issues that limit me from standing on my feet 8 hrs a day.
I get disability once a month it covers my strata fees, and bills. And i work part time online as a tarot card reader as its the only job i can do remotely from home, to help with groceries as the foodbank doesnt give that much to survive off of. And i only get paid from my part time job once a month on the 20th of each month.

A little back story for those who may not know me. In 2019 my landlord was going to do a reno-sale. But i went to my grandfather and grandmother, asking if they would help me secure my home, as the landlord said i had been such a good tennant he would sell to me.as my mother is deceased since i was young and my grandparents became like surogate parents to me.
I didnt have good credit and i needed a co-signer. My grandfather a good man instantly agreed that he would help me get the morgage so i didnt end up homeless. I paid all the morgage payments with my disabilty check on time. In 2020 my grandfather died during,the pandemic. But he was proud of me, the money he invested into my home down payment that the bank got was my living inheritance. And he wanted me to have a secure future and see what i did with it before he passed. I miss him and my mother so dearly.

My grandmother began to pick on my brother.. he ended up in the hospital with depression issues from her constant belittling and abusing him on the phone. She finally threw money at him said this is the rest of your inheritance you call me again ill call the cops on you. My brother has bipolar and has serious health issues, but all she did was judge him and do verbal abuse to him over the phone.

Then she decided i guess it was my turn. It started small, and it slowly eroded away at my self esteem, her judgements, her belittling ways, the verbal abuse over the phone. Until dec 2023 i had a mental breakdown due to depression and was hospitalized. The drs even told her to stop calling the hospital as she was making my mental health worse. And told her not to stress me out.

Jan 2024 i get out of the hospital and she reems me out on the phone when i finally call her back, saying she is taking me out of the will, and selling hers and what was my grandfathers condo and shes spending,it all on herself.
My grandfathers dying wishes were that she stay at home and just pay for extra in care medical care. And once she passed away, the sale of their home, the money be split between me and my brother to better our lives.

When my grandfather was alive he did everything he could for his family as he was a family man. He worked hard in camps up north and built my grandmother a huge house before i was born. Once that morgage was paid off, he sold the house and used it to get into the hotel buisness, and all of the 80s and 90s he ran the buisness in the front and did all the accounting. Basicly my grandmother had everything provided for her because of his hard work.so my grandparents were very wealthy.

Back to after he died, i get out of the hospital shes selling her condo and saying she is going to go the most expensive retirement home of bc and live there as if its resort life she had been acustomed to on her lavish vacations. Whatever its her property, her money.

A month later i get a letter from a real estate person saying my grandmother had inquired to sell my home on me and as i was co-owner he could only do so with my permission. I said no. I had no where else to go.

I confronted my grandmother why she did this tobme behind my back, and why she wanted to make me homeless. She just quoted " your lazy, and in the olden days the bible said if you dont work, take you out to the city gates and stone you to death" i said u want me to loose my home and be on the streets. She said i dont care be homeless then. I said id die out there, she said wasnt her problem.( i was working as a tarot card reader, i had a job but i couldnt tell her what it was out of fear of her religious beliefs she would abuse me more)

A month later she finds out more info on a upcoming levy on my apt building and finds out as co-owner she would be stuck with the levy, i tell her if you dont want to be liable, give me the title. She agrees but i have to pay for the title transfership. So i have to get in debt and use a credit card to pay for my legal representative. I call her to thank her for giving me the title but she says dont thank me yet its a long drawn out process it may not even happen. I tell my legal rep this he says do not speak to her til this settlement is done.
Then because i didnt phone her for 2 days after this she calls me and says for me to never call her again or she would call the cops on me. Same thing she told my brother.
I finally get the title, and for 3 months i had to call her executor, leave a message, send a letter i needed her to cancel our joint insurance on her condo/my apt. She finally leaves a message saying its done.

I didnt talk to her for 4 months. Christmas comes, and i thought shes family its christmas. Try to make peace with a 89 year old woman before she dies. She tears into me again, belittling me and verbally abusing me on the phone. I hang up.

Today i get a bank notification my bank account has fallen below 100 dollars. I sign in online and the account that the bank had set up in my grandfathers name, hers and mine for the purpose of me paying the morgage and me paying monthly strata fees that i had continued to put money in for montly strata fees since 2019, and continued to do so after obtaining the title to my home, i find out she had stolen 409.56 of my disabilty money to cover my fees that come out of that account every month on the 1st.

Last month she sold her condo for 339,000. Dollars. Plus whatever other money she had. On christmas she said i had made her broke in life( but days before told my brother she had more than enough to live on and there would be nothing for us grandkids when she died)
So she decided in her mind to punish me because i stood up to her finally and wouldnt put up with her abuse any longer( as i didnt have to fear loosing my home any longer as its soley mine now) but because i hung,up on her.. she went to the bank, took out MY DISABILITY money what i had left and closed the account. Apparently it didnt need 2 signatures to close the account.

Now your probably thinking call the cops on her. No shes a tit for tat kind of woman, if i did what cop os gonna believe a 89 year old woman stole her grandaughters disability money when she has lots of money. Its small claims court stuff. And if i gave her the negative energy she wants as a narcisst she has more than enough money to start some legal bs case on me.

No i just need to fix this get 500 dollars from fundraising. 409.56 for the strata fees ,the money she stole, and 50 dollars nsf the strata will incur and charge back to me cause she closed the account, and go fund me takes a big chunk out fundraising fees. Last 500 i raised for a vet bill, they took 25. And that leaves 15 dollars, my bank requires that as a minimum to open a new bank account. To set up a new account with strata and pay them their fees, so im not behind on them and they put a levy on my apt to sell on me.( she still wants me homeless..)

But if i can raise these funds, and pay my strata fees, then change my phone number, eventually change the locks on my doors( she had a key when she was a co-owner) then i,can just walk away, finally free from her abuse, and go on to obtain counselling and healing and live a full and better life without abuse.
