Avoid eviction and purchase food and medication
Donation protected
My twins are both Class of 2020 Longwood Graduates. I’m a single Mom to 2 22 year old boys, my son was recently diagnosed with schizophrenia after altering his brain from smoking marijuana daily to battle his depression. He stopped taking his antidepressants and adhd medications and developed delusions and hallucinations. My Mom passed away and I was with her in Massachusetts when she passed away from 3 types of undiagnosed cancer. I came home and the following morning my son thought I was a stranger and stabbed me 30 times. He was arrested and went to court. I had an order of protection against him and he was hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital for a month. Because I had an order of protection, he was homeless, and had to live in a shelter, started treatment and was stabilized and no longer having delusions and hallucinations. He recently moved home after the order of protection was lowered to a level that allows him to live with me. He currently attends psychiatric treatment and counseling weekly and he has no longer having delusions or hallucinations. Because he’s currently unable to work and is not eligible for unemployment and is in the process of applying for disability, I am supporting him full-time, I’m struggling financially and we received an eviction notice today from the apartment complex I live in. I’m looking for funds to pay the rent and support my family. Thank you
