I don’t know quite how to start. I just dont know how I got here. I guess the best way is to let you know as of October 29th my roommate and I have to appear in court for not being able to pay rent this month. I was doing well, working almost 30 years in the veterinary field. I have a wonderful son. 2 special furr babies. But that doesn’t mean my life has been easy. 7 years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Then I lost my fiance 5 years ago right before the pandemic to an unknown heart defect and then 3 years later I was a victim of an attempted murder. I didn’t except help right away but I finally sought counseling. I live with an elderly man who is severly autistic and schizophrenic. He is kind and wouldnt hurt a fly. Then 3 months ago my roommate found me on the couch unresponsive barely alive. Side note…I have never done drugs in my life and I don’t drink. The EMT’s and firemen did a wonderful job saving my life but I was in a coma and intubated for 3 days. I was eventually released to go home only to find myself back in the hospital with bilateral pneumonia. I was tired and exhausted and I just could not do the physical part of my job anymore. With a saddened heart I had to leave. I used my savings, my family and friends all pitched in to help us keep our apartment and other essential bills. But now every bit of help has been exhausted. I tried talking to the landlord but all we received was a court summons. I am scared of become homeless. I finally got enough strength getting a new job which is way less physical on my body but I just started and we don’t make enough to pay the past rent, late fees, court fees and next months rent. If we coud find help to catch up we would eventually be fine paying our bills. Swallowing my pride I have searched and searched for assistance. But everywhere I turn I just hit a wall. This is the only thing giving me a little bit of hope. This doesn’t just effect me…my roommate has absolutely no friends or family and he would not do well living on the streets or a homeless shelter. My 2 cats have special needs and daily medications. All my family is far away and I just can’t lose this new job. So if there is help out there that could lend a helping hand it truly would be a miracle. Even someone who could point me in the right direction or advice would be amazing. Even just a “hang in there”. I am losing hope becoming depressed and my anxiety is through the roof. I am trying to get help with food and medical insurance but keep running into complications. I don’t have much of my daily medications left and it will cost me quite a lot out of pocket. When I read what I have typed it’s all so depressing and awful. Even if you can’t help thank you for reading this. I have read every single person’s need for help on this site and it is just so heartbreaking. Especially the ones with children. In my heart I want to be the one to make their wishes come true and I know someday I can become my own miracle worker. This site seems so genuine.
