I am homeless and have been repeatedly over the last five years. I suffer from various mental health issues, including PTSD, and have been in and out of hospitals for the past year. I recently left an abusive relationship on April 28, 2026, where I was beaten and threatened regularly. My PTSD is severe, and I struggle to sleep and feel safe. I have nowhere to go and call resources every day, sometimes reaching out to dozens of agencies in a single day. I'm currently staying in emergency housing at an extended stay in St. Louis, paid for by a Christian agency for one week. After this, I have to return to calling agencies all day, hoping for a place to rest and recover. I have little family support, with my mother deceased and my father estranged. My family is spread out and dealing with their own issues. The tornado in St. Louis last year made things even tougher, and many places are full. I have been assaulted and sex trafficked while homeless, and every time I get a job, I have to leave and move again. I take medication for my mental health and have chronic health issues. I miss appointments with social security because I rarely have bus fare to get around. I am doing everything I can to survive and rebuild my life, but I need help. Donations will help me stay in safe housing, cover transportation like a bus pass, buy food and essentials, and help me start working again. I need funds for extended stay housing, a bus pass, phone data, food, clothes, and basic items to rebuild my life. This support will give me a chance to find stability, get to job interviews, and start earning an income. Please, please, please help me! Anything helps, even prayer. This would literally save my life!
