Andrew and his boyfriend need help

Hello.  I'm Andrew Greene, who some of you may know as Rosen Otter, or as Blaze, depending where on the internet you know me from.  I've never really had to ask for money like this before, so please bear with me.

It's been a bad week. My ex roommate, who  is known to many of you,  is now in prison.  Not only did he assault me, but in his assualt, he cut the end of my right index finger off right above the top joint.  In addition, he's left us around  five thousand dollars in debt, and I doubt we'll recover it.    We were in the middle of a move when this happened, and it was followed up by the landlord of our new apartment locking us out because, he claims, he cannot finish the repairs the apartment needs before we can move in! We'd already  signed a lease specifyng that we could move in as of  the first, and we'd already told the current landlord that we'd be out at the end of the month,  so we're pressed for time.

So,  at the same time that Shawn and I are attempting to find a place to live, we're in danger of having our  utilities shut off, and I am still seeing doctors and surgeons about my hand.  I can still work part time, I think, but we're broke right now and I'm facing a couple of surgeries.

Our immediate need is funds to keep the  lights and heat on, the internet so we can continue to look for a place to move to,  and all the stuff related to moving.   We'll likely eventually get our deposit back from the landlord, but that may not be in time for us to put a deposit on a new place.  This was initialy meant to be an easy, short move that we had  four weeks to complete, but it's turning into a sabre dance on a freshly waxed floor.

Some of you, I've known for decades, some of you, less than that,  many of you know me only by reputation,  lots of you have no idea who I am.   I've never had to ask for help like this before.    I've been in some holes, I'll tell you, but I always had the benefit of time or space;  this time, I have neither.   At least I have my mate and a sense of humor.    We both need help now.

My injury isn't life-threatening, but it's really badly timed, and it's more of a life changer than you can imagine.  It may be years before I can return to my lifelong hobbies.  Writing is messy.  Eating...  well, I'll lose some weight at least.   Any help  you folks can offer will be greatly appreciated.   Feel free to ask me if you want more details of what happened.
