Help Colton Stayed Homed after Mom’s Death

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Colton Brown from Marshalltown, Iowa, though some of you online know me better as BrowneePointz or PearBear, and I am currently in the final stages of losing my mother to Her battle with cancer.

I am Disabled with Severe Anxiety & Mobility limitations due to size, and my income is mainly coming from rapidly dwindling online Gig Work. It had been mostly supplemental for the household until recently when Mom's condition soured to the point she could no longer work. She's always been my rock, my support and my best friend, but soon no longer.

A few weeks ago she was moved to Hospice permanently and we are currently unsure if she'll survive to Christmas & New Year's. The Family has made the decision to stop using her funds for Rent at our Apartment at the end of the year due to the cost of Hospice and numerous other factors. Leaving me just a few weeks to find living options during the start of Winter in the Midwest.

I'm currently in the process of getting hooked up to support & counciling networks and financial assistance through Gov't means but these things take time, especially trying to fight for SSI on the grounds of Obesity related Disability, so I turn to you.

Any funds donated will be used to pay the rent at our current residence through the following:
-The end of Mom's Life and Funeral Arrangements/Grieving Period should she make it through the Holidays
-The period it takes for Me to be approved and hooked up to Support Networks so I can stand on my own
-Until the warmer months when I can attempt a move somewhere else/more affordable without putting myself in danger due to weather

Any extra above the goal will be put towards additional months or ancillary bills. I know it's the Holidays, and so I'm grateful for any and all assistance you are able to give, and understand if you cannot.

Thank you.
