Help Me Move Out Of My Car

Donation protected
[UPDATE] I have lowered the goal, and provided details. Please read the last few updates~ The red car has permanently died. .... -------------------**************---------Hello there. My name is Willard. I am a 27 year old disabled transman suffering from PTSD, clinical depression, and some form of porphyria we have not pinpointed yet. I spend nearly all my time when awake helping moderate an online transgender community focused on helping trans youth and offering resources as well as support - over the last few years. If you are reading this, you may know me from there. I moved from Texas to Seattle with my husband in April of 2016 in hopes of a better future. We both have educational backgrounds that we felt would help us flourish in the area. We lalso brought along a room mate who had ambitions. After getting to Seattle, we got an additional room mate and all got an apartment together. 4 months later, the room mate who traveled with us decided to move back home with his family. Within a week after, the other new room mate decided to move back in with his parents as well. Around this time, I was in and out of the hospital multiple times a week, as my enzyme disorder (very complicated, I cannot digest lots of foods and my weight had gotten down to 114 lbs.) had just become active and will be for the rest of my life. In emergency, i had to get insurance in order to cover all my health costs. Before we knew what was going on with me, I was scared I was dying. In August 2016, we became homeless as my husband could not hold the rent himself, and I cannot get a job or else I lose my health insurance I desperately need to keep. We have been living in our 4 door compaq car, sleeping together in the back seat since then. We've been trying to save our money in order to improve our situation, but rainy days come often. Our car is breaking down, some of our belongings were stolen right from our car a few months ago - we had to replace what was stolen, and our funds are dwindling. Then... today in particular, our car stalled out in the middle of the highway. We are unsure if we can fix it... I am asking for help today, in getting enough to buy a small Class B camper. We cannot get a loan for one because they are considered a luxury item, and we clearly do not make enough for a home or apartment. A camper would provide shelter, security, privacy, it could tow our current dying vehicle, take over when our currently vehicle is completely dead, and even many freedoms. I do not like asking for help. In fact I have little hope that it will work... but some told me to at least try. So here I am asking. I cannot turn to my relatives as they are not family, they are unsafe to be around, and I have been hiding from them for the last 5 years. Please, help if you can. I just want peace. Anything helps: - any spare $$ - sharing my story - if you know anyone looking to get rid of a driveable camper. (No haulers. We have nothing to tow or haul it with.) Thank you if you took the time to read all of this. And i know I am the one asking for help, but if you, the reader, need to talk, feel free to email or message me. Thanks again.
