*EMERGENCY URGENT PLEA*

PLEASE HELP ME AND MY DOG AVOID HOMELESSNESS, ONLY A COUPLE DAYS LEFT TO GET THIS DONE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE FOR US TO CONTINUE STAYING THERE. IVE ALREADY EXHAUSTED EVERY OTHER POSSIBLE OPTION OUT THERE.

I'm renting a storage spot for my camper that they allow me to live in it. It's the only place I can actually afford also the only place out of 48 different places I contacted that let me stay in it. I had THREE unexpected urgent car repairs that had to be done that soaked up every dime I had set aside for August and September rent. Now I'm behind and need to get it paid through the Neighbor App ASAP. The app does not allow for partial payments so that makes it harder. If I get kicked out of there, I have nowhere to put my camper and no ability to pay the expensive prices of RV parks or other storage places. I'd have to junk it or try to give it away or sell it but even if I could sell it, I'd still be homeless with not enough money to get into another place. We were sleeping in the car before I had got the camper and been lucky enough to find the spot I'm in. It's something that I DO NOT look forward to, so much so that in my desperate last ditch effort, I'm resorting to this, making a fundraiser for myself that feels so unbecoming and off-putting and embarrassing and shameful but I've exhausted all my other options. I work everyday, but I'm so far behind I have 0% chance of catching up before I completely lose my chance to get it paid off and stay there. I'm looking for a miracle. And I'm only looking for help. I'm not asking for freebies. Just praying all that bad luck last month doesn't completely flip my entire life upside down for the worse. I struggle day in and day out with autoimmune inflammation that cause a multitude of issues especially since last winter when it got suddenly a lot worse than it's ever been. Severe fatigue, muscle weakness, sun sensitivity to the point I can't be out there more than an hour or two or on bad days 15-30 minutes. Inflammation with the lining around my lungs that caused extreme stabbing squeezing pain making it impossible to breathe normally, inflammation of joints in hands wrists, shoulder, eyes, inflammation of the cartilage of my ears and my inner ear which caused constant lightheadedness and dizzyness, Muscle and body wasting since a bad inflammation flare I had in May, I lost about 25 lbs and alarming amounts of muscle mass in my body most notably my arms and legs, within a month and a half of that flare up that had me in bed for a week, and still losing muscle and weight. I drag myself up and to work everyday often feeling I'm carrying around an extra invisible 200 pounds and everything seems like an impossible chore. Such simple tasks, such as simply standing up or holding onto the steering wheel bc of extreme muscle weakness. That's not a boohoo poor me story. I just don't think people understand how hard it is to get through to another day for people with autoimmune issues and some have it way worse than me and ill really really feel for them. I'm embarrassed and ashamed to make this thing and if it were just me, I wouldn't even be doing it. My dog is my best friend and my rock and he was miserable when we slept in the car I could see it in his eyes and mannerisms. He was SO HAPPY to be able to stretch out in the camper even to this day when he lays down he stretches all the way out and Everytime I feel so blessed to give that to him. I really really don't want to lose that. If I do, I don't know how well I'll handle it. I'm at the point of surrendering to defeat bc if it comes to us having to sleep in my car again and lose my camper bc I'll have to junk it, over $400 I will be entirely defeated. Im exhausted. I don't have the energy or the mental or emotional ability to even think about trying to survive another winter living out of my car. Where I'm at right now with how I feel physically and mentally, I don't think I have the energy or the mental toughness to go through that again. If its in your heart to help, thank you from the bottom of mine. Even if you got through reading this I thank you.
