Brian Needs Rent While He's In An Intensive Medical Program
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Brian. Recently, I entered an intensive, long-term mental healthcare program called a Partial Hospitalization Program. This will be followed by something called an Inpatient-Outpatient Program. I have gotten a lot of good information, and I've learned a lot of useful tools. For the first time in many years, I have some hope about my diagnosis, and something that looks like a path forward.
I have struggled with serious mental illness since I was fifteen years old. In that time, I've taken my mental healthcare seriously, but I have struggled with resources. This is my opportunity.
I am asking for three months worth of rent and expenses. I count myself very lucky that I was able to enter this program at all. However, in order to do this, I had to put a few things on hold; I can't continue school to help me find a new job, and I can't look for work in my old career. I was relying on financial aid to pay rent. It's hard to heal when you're freaking out about money, you know how it is.
What I need is a grace period. I am two classes away from my AA, and I have some leads for jobs, but I need some extra support while I finish this program. If you can help me, I would really appreciate it; I try to lead a fairly simple life, and a little bit will go a long way.
Hey, regardless of whether you're able to give, I really appreciate you taking the time to read this. It's hard to ask for help, and it's hard to find community, and this is me making a sincere effort at both. Hope you have a peaceful day.
-Brian
Below is a rough breakdown of where this money will go. I live with two other people; we are getting a pretty good deal for California imo.
Rent: 600 per month
Bills: 200 per month
Groceries: 250 per month
Life stuff: 250 per month
This will get me through three lucky months or two unlucky months, and either way it would be a life-changing boon. Thank you, again, very much, for taking the time to read.
