Help Zero and Lilith Escape Unsafe Living Conditions

Urgent Call For Help:

Hello. My name is Zero.
I am an Autistic, Black, Agender c-PTSD survivor,
and I’m reaching out because I urgently need help
and support as I navigate a complex and unsafe living
situation that requires immediate attention.

I am currently living in an apartment that may
have significant mold or water damage. Unfortunately,
my property manager and the housing authority have not
been responsive to my concerns.
Despite multiple attempts to request repairs,
my claims have been dismissed, and the conditions
negatively affect Lilith’s (my cat) and my health.

The state of my bathroom is particularly concerning,
and I’m unsure whether the problem is in the vents of my
AC unit or confined within the walls of my apartment.
Regardless, I feel physically ill when I’m home compared
to when I’m outside, and it’s become increasingly unsafe
for both myself and my cat, Lilith.

Health Concerns:
Both Lilith and I have been experiencing a range of symptoms that I believe are connected to the apartment’s condition:

My Symptoms:
Severe congestion and trouble breathing
Itchy skin
Brain fog and severe fatigue
Joint pain and occasional dizziness (tremors)
Constant migraines
Recurring fungal/sinus infections
Candida build-up
Insomnia, trouble staying asleep

Lilith’s Symptoms:
Excessive itching and over-grooming
Yeasty ears and discomfort (constant headshakes)
Difficulty getting comfortable, constant shifting
Congestion and labored breathing/wheezing
Flaky/dry skin
Irritable and low-energy

At this point, the only way to heal is to leave this environment, leave everything behind, and start fresh because you can take mold with you in a new space. It’s the only way for both of us
to recover physically. Unfortunately, I do not have family support, and I am managing this entirely on my own.

How You Can Help:

Immediate Funds Needed: $1000 (For Deposit / Hold Fee / Application Fees and Moving Costs)

Funds Needed After Approval and Succesful Move-In: $2000 (Mattress and Basic Necessities, New Cat Appliances and Necessities for Lilith)

Total Funds Needed: $3000

I’m asking for assistance with this transition. Moving out of an unsafe living space is expensive, and I struggle to manage the costs. Any financial support or help finding moving resources would make a huge difference. I sincerely appreciate any help you can offer me and Lilith.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your support would mean the world to Lilith and me, and we would be forever grateful for your help and care.

With gratitude,
Zero
