Help chronically ill woman with food and bills

Donation protected
I am extremely grateful to everyone who has supported me for the past year and a half. I don't know how I would have survived without your help. Every time I think that I can't trust or rely on other people, I must acknowledge the fact that I can! My rent being paid for over a year is evidence that people are good and kind, and really do care about my physical welfare. (Despite how I may emotionally feel the opposite case. [Abuse will do that to you.])

I am currently safe, and my cat is safe too, and now I can focus on putting my life back together. (I have been extremely ill for the past several years, and unable to work, and several other bad things happened while I was too sick to respond, and I had an abusive EX deliberately destroy [what remained of] my life, and I am too embarrassed talk about it.)

Your generous contributions to this fundraiser will cover my estimated minimum living expenses for all* of 2024, and being financially prepared for any unforeseen emergencies such as my cat getting sick. Additional funds will be used to purchase cat food, toilet paper, soap, sanitary pads, trash bags, and human food at the end of the month when EBT is exhausted. I currently have only one pair of disintegrating shoes and two pairs of pants full of large holes. This is embarrassing and sounds stupid, but I haven't been able to afford to buy anything for a few years. Rent, cat food, and my cell phone bill always took priority.

The batteries in my (2013 model) laptop swelled up rendering it unusable, and I haven't been able to afford the $80 for replacement batteries. The battery in my cell phone is beginning to swell now too, and will need to be repaired or replace sometime later this year. Also, I'm going to need money for essential transportation to visit my medical doctors in person (I don't have a car). (There is a grocery store next to my current residence. I am sometimes capable of physically walking to the store and carrying groceries in a backpack. This is an improvement in my health compared to a few years ago when I couldn't walk to the bathroom but I could at least still crawl across the floor.)

Basically, my entire life has been in frozen in stasis for the past few years and I need to get it functioning again.

If this fundraiser looks familiar, yes, it is for the same beneficiary
as the previous one, but the donations to this fundraiser are not going directly to a landlord for the purpose of covering household rent, as the previous one was.

* Yes, it's already February, and I'm already month behind on all my bills.
