Emergency: Leaving an Abusive Household
Donation protected
Hello and thank you for looking into my gofundme!
My name is Jessica Saffold and I live with my partner and our 2 cats as well as 2 room mates.
Over the last few years of living with them, they have gotten more and more nasty towards us, specifically myself, due to the limitations my disability has on me.
I am disabled and, as such, I can not always perform tasks around the house, nor can I work.
I do receive SSDI benefits which allow me to pay rent and for me to buy my own food.
I pay all of my own bills and I do what I can to help around the house.
All this in consideration, they disallowed me from using the heater in the dead of winter without them being home, despite me being home-bound most of the time while they are at work.
They consistently and habitually take out their frustrations and angers out on me and my partner even if we are in no way involved with what it is that has upset them.
I have found that in my time here, despite my room mates knowing about my disability, they leave trash and old food everywhere, including in the front rooms and kitchen, which has now begun to attract mice, stray animals, and even raccoons to our house.
The state they leave the house in is unbelievable and it is clear they have no desire to clean on their own, despite the condition they demand I keep it in when I am home.
They are incessantly rude and it has only gotten worse once we have mentioned a desire to move out due to their behaviour.
This aforementioned behaviour has triggered countless panic attacks and relapses within me that have been notably taking a toll on my health.
In conclusion, for the sake of my health and well-being, I need to find other accommodations.
That is where you come in!
My partner and I have found a new place to live that meets all of our requirements!
They will allow my cat, who is my emotional support animal, and it is in a location that is closer to the hospital I go to for my regular check ups and appointments.
They have an apartment opening on the 10th of May and we need to gather money before then.
We require 50$ for an application Fee, 200$ for a security deposit, 100$ to hold the apartment until we can move in, and 1400$ first month's rent to get into the apartment.
Anything left over would be used to cover coincidentals incurred by moving expenses and renter's insurance.
If you would be able to help us in our time of need, I would be so appreciative! Thank you so much for reading, and have a great day.
