Nearly Homeless Artist needs funds

Donation protected
My name is Michaela and I suffer from a couple of invisible illnesses, mostly severe clinical depression and generalized anxiety. Because of these conditions, it has been very hard to hold down a job and even though I've tried several times now to jump back into the workforce, I find myself facing daily panic attacks and a whole host of nasty physical symptoms that make it hard to even function from day to day.

Since I have a hard time keeping a regular job and if I don't start making some money soon, I will end up homeless in the cold Minnesota winter season - I've come up with a possible solution, but I need some help to get started. I want to start refashioning and making clothing again, because sewing is very cathartic for me and helps manage my anxiety. It also gives me purpose and with that, I can make wonderful and unique things for other people to enjoy.

What I need from you generous and compassionate people is some money to meet basic needs and get my amateur business off the ground. I need funds for things as simple as food and toiletries (which I'm dangerously low on - it sucks not being able to eat every day) but also for supplies like fabric, buttons, threat, elastic, etc. All things needed to be able to create clothing.

Hopefully, with a little bit of help from some kind strangers, I will be able to get my life on track and contribute something back to others. :)
