Help me to get to a better place to live

I have not wanted to make a Gofundme, because I have thought that I could get to a place where I need to be, on my own. However, this has proven very hard for me to achieve.

In November of 2022, the double hits of Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Fiona took their toll on me and threw me into a complicated living situation, and a sequence of events kept me from achieving my goals.

Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Fiona had caused damage to the house I was renting a room out of. I thought that it could get repaired— I then found out my landlord was not my landlord, but in fact, another renter subletting the house, without permission from the actual landlord. The real landlord showed up to inspect the house, and I was evicted. This was not such a problem, as I planned to move out of state, and in with a friend to be roommates with him.

I had to temporarily move in with my mom so that I could eventually take the trip out of state. On one of my trips in moving my things out of my old apartment, I was in an accident that totaled my car, in which another car put on its brakes in front of me. I slammed on mine, but my car's brakes were not good, and I skid and slammed into the back of the vehicle in front of me. I was OK, and so was the person in the car in front, but it left me without transportation.

I tried to pick myself up by my britches, and I continued with my work, in hopes that I could save up for another car, which took me some time to do- but I was ready to buy a car, and move out of my mom's home.

Then in February, my father had a heart attack. I was shaken, and I didn't know exactly what to do. I had my mom drive me to my hometown. He had gotten out of the hospital, but could barely move or even get out of bed. Needless to say, I wanted to stay with him and help his wife and my niece around the house. The money I had saved up went towards facilitating my move-in and stay. The first few months were very rough.

I took care of anything that needed to be inside and outside of the house, using the funds I had saved, while working on my art commission queue. I bought a minivan from my father that he had in the yard, and converted it into a living space for myself so that I could complete commissions on my laptop, and have a place to sleep. After about 4 months, my father was showing signs of getting better.

In the 4th month, he decided to buy an RV, and go see the country with his wife and my niece, while he still could, and rent out his house. In making this split-second decision, he also decided to rent his house out to someone else, even though I had been helping to take care of him and his home. This decision was a little stunning in light of what I had been there to do in the first place, having taken a detour from moving elsewhere in order to help him recover. I took it on the chin and continued to help out, facilitating his house for his new renters, and finishing my art commission queue.

Today, I have had to move in temporarily with a friend before my father's renters move in, so that I may continue to work on my commission queue. I have a limited amount of time to stay here. I have to have enough to get a new set of tires for my van, a new pair of glasses, as my left lens fell out and was scratched badly in moving today, and funding for my move out of state and into a more secure residence.

If you can help me, I would be very, very appreciative. Thank you so much.
