Safety for Meg, Frankie and Cleo

I’m not really sure how to start this, as I know so much is going on in the world and the last thing I want to do is burden anyone else with my problems but I’m not sure how much longer I can continue by myself.

I’m currently having to abruptly move out of my home due to unsafe living environments. As some of you may or may not know I was in a car accident a few months ago resulting in my car getting totaled (at no fault of my own) resulting in a tear and bulging disk in my low back and sprained neck. I had to stop teaching at one of my studios due to the accident, losing a portion of my income. I also haven’t been able to go back to work normally for the past months because of the injuries initially and now because of the doctors appointments and physical therapy (4-5 times a week) I have an autoimmune disease, Crohns which also has made the healing processes lengthier and harder as I already deal with inflammation in my joints.

I did just get treatment done for my back a week and a half and go and things are finally looking up with my injury :)

I cannot speak on the living situation until at the very least am out of the house. As I’m still working out the legality of the situation. In the time being I’m just looking for any help as money has been very tight on my end and I wasn’t planning on moving out until October. It’s been a rough last year for my health as I’ve mentioned I have an auto immune disease, which started flaring up badly at the beginning of last year (losing 10 pounds, internal stomach bleeding, etc.) and at the end of last year I couldn’t work normally anymore due to it and had to prioritize my health which caused an extreme financial burden. I went through all my savings and racked up credit card debt. Disability takes about a year and my application has been processing for almost 200 days now and my medical documents are currently being processed.

I knew one of the best ways to work towards stabilizing my life was moving into a shared space with roommates - which brings me to my current situation. I have not been sleeping well for weeks and I’m so worried about a severe flare with my Crohns happening again due to the stress, and have been planning on moving but not in this manner by any means. But I know I cannot stay in an environment that is not safe, especially if my cats are at risk. I could not bear it if something happened to them. The situation has escalated and I’m removing myself today, 5/29.

*will be going back over these next couple of days to grab my things, as I have to find times that are safe

I’m so beyond grateful for any help and support offered and that I’ve received from friends during this time. I’m coming here with hopes of any small amount of help I could receive during this time and transition into a safe home. Money would go towards a storage unit, moving and temporary housing. If you took the time to read this thank you so so much. Anything helps, I just want to stay afloat and keep my cats and I safe.
