Hey, so, I really…REALLY hate doing this. But I need help.
I’m disabled, and need to get a cleaning service to help make our apartment livable, or else we’re going to end up homeless. Margaret and I are physically incapable of doing the work ourselves, otherwise we would. An hour’s worth of cleaning, for me, is basically ‘sweep the kitchen, wash four dishes, bag up trash.’ It seems super simple and easy, but with my pain levels, I’m lucky if I can manage that on a good day. Some days I can’t even wash the dishes I need to make a single basic meal. We need to get this taken care of, ASAP.
In addition to this, we’re still attempting to live off $100 worth of food stamps for three people. I’ve been living off of boxed pasta, mashed potatoes, and whatever few things I can scrape together otherwise. I’m constantly tired, hungry, and near the breaking point.
The GoFundMe up there is specifically for the cleaning service. I’ll stick on my Paypal.Me link for anybody who wants to donate that way as well, and the Amazon wishlist for food items if anybody feels like sending Things instead of Funds. Please, please share this, even if you can’t donate. If you can click through the GoFundMe link and share to other social media, I would appreciate it SO much. I’m scared, and I don’t want to go through homelessness again.

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2CV1MX9Y7POQDThank you so much to the people who have donated and signal boosted! I appreciate it a lot, and I’m trying very hard not to use what funding I have on food at the moment. We’ve got nothing to eat until around the first, and I basically haven’t eaten in about 24 hours.
I’m so close to breaking lately, I keep having to unclench my jaw, drop my shoulders, and remind myself to breathe slowly. I’m so scared that we’re going to get evicted. I’m exhausted, my stress levels are through the roof, I’m constantly anxious and hungry, and I don’t know how much of this I can take.
For the folks who are curious, we had a HUD inspection on the 15th. We failed for mostly reasons we can’t control, but the inspector said we needed to take care of the hoarding problem Margaret has, and do a lot of thorough, deep cleaning that we’re just not equipped physically or financially to handle. We’ve looked at as many avenues for assistance paying for it as we can, but none of them have pulled through. We have until the end of November to get the apartment taken care of, and I’m straight up terrified of failing and losing our apartment.
Please, please keep sharing this, if nothing else.
