Please Help Save My Home

Hello my name is Kurt,

I have severe ptsd and for pretty much all of my life I have stayed in my room by myself. I struggle daily with major paranoia fear anxiety and depression.

I used to rent at my grandmas house, she was pretty much the only support system I had in my life. But she has since passed and I was forced to move. My best friend helped me to locate the place I am currently in with her elderly best friend. In the last 2 months the elderly friend has passed.

I got sick too young to collect cpd or anything so my income is 1400 a month. I have my pwd or person's with disability status. My friend helps me to go to doctors appointments and to get my groceries or anything else I need. When my grandma had passed I ended up having to sell most of my posesions to be able to move into where I am. I've been best friends with my neighbor since the 4th grade. She was the one that helped me to escape a very destructive home when I was 15.

I have spent my life avoiding said family but they seem to reinsert themselves to make me fearful and sick.

The owner of the trailer we rent has said she is going to sell the place. This leaves me priced out of the current market with nowhere to go for me and my cat spooky. I can afford the pad rent and hydro and a phone I can afford to live here safe and in peace.

She has offered me the place for 10 thousand. I know this seems like a lot but I have been taking great steps to heal and better myself over the years. I have gone from 398lbs to 245. I have my doctors right across the street from my trailer park. I have a pharmacy right across the street as well. I am in constant contact with my doctor adjusting meds etc. If I move I will have no family doctor or support system. I do not know how to drive as I never learned.

I am trying to raise ten thousand to get this place and secure myself and make myself and my cat safe. I am going to use 8-10 thousand to replace the roof as it is toast. And the rest will go to updating the outside siding to make it adhere to park guidelines.

I have tried contacting Taps which is together against poverty society. They cannot help advocate anything for me as they are severely overwhelmed. They cannot even accept emails anymore.

I have looked into disability housing but there is a 2 year wait list minimum and I do not know if I can bring my cat. Spooky is my grandmas cat and I swore to her I would keep him safe his whole life.

This ordeal has made me very sick my heart has been going wild and my stomach hurts really bad. I've not been able to sleep in days I am getting overwhelmed and starting to feel hopeless and suicidal. Even reaching out to those that have hurt me in the past for help. My world is very limited I have 4 friends total my best one next door and the rest live like a hour long drive away they come to visit me.

Please if you can donate you will help me to secure my independence and save both my cat spooky and myself from homelessness.
