64, disabled, homeless in Tucson with my pitbull Diamond -- just need somewhere safe and dry to exist.

I am not good at asking for help, but I am out of options.

I am 64 years old. I adopted my dog Diamond from a shelter in Colorado in August -- she is a tri-color pitbull, going on 6, and she is the only family I have got. We walked across Colorado Springs, then caught a ride to Pueblo, where we got a ride to Tucson in October.

I have been sober since January 15, 2026 except for marijuana which I use for pain. I have got PTSD, pins in my neck, 4 toes left, a left arm that barely works, diabetes, neuropathy, high blood pressure. I keep falling, almost into traffic. I need help managing my meds and my money.

I get $834 a month in disability. I applied for EBT but it has not come through yet. Group shelters will not take me -- PTSD, and Diamond is a pitbull so most will not accept her. Social services has not been any help.

A safe shelter and food is such a simple thing, but I have gone days without both. Diamond has always had food, but I need help making sure we both eat and stay safe and dry.

I do not cause trouble. I just need four walls and a roof. A garage. A shed. A backyard where I can pitch a tent. A room. Anything dry and safe where Diamond and I can be together.

I am willing to relocate anywhere. I can work jobs I am physically capable of. I just need a chance.

If anyone knows of anything -- a church, a program, a person with a spare room or a backyard or an old RV they do not need -- please reach me at 719-464-8461. A vehicle would give us shelter and a way to get to food and resources. Right now I cannot walk far and I have no transportation. A vehicle solves both problems at once. Diamond is the reason I am still here. After 10 days in the desert with her I got close to my Maker. I just want somewhere safe for us to land.

Thank you for reading,

Mike
