Needing support renting a Home

Donation protected
Hello my name is Jennifer,

This year has been a difficult year to say the least. I am currently in the worst situation I've ever been in my entire 34 years. I am asking for immediate support; so I can rent a place that is my safe space to lay my head at night, has 4 walls and a door. Nothing fancy just a home; In the past 4 months I applied for many housing organizations; Civida, Homeward Trust, Low-income Alberta renters. I have stayed in shelters, Airbnb's, motels, lived in my jeep (which is gone), and couch surfing. I am to the point where I am scared and my mental health is massively unkept. I am taking lots of medication for my health issues and have no medical insurance. Always having to apply for these resources has been a regular routine. I am on CPP disability but its certainly not enough to live with all my basic needs being met. Unfortunately its been a long pitiful road of no guarantee. Not knowing where I am going to sleep everyday isn't making it any easier to deal with. I am in great danger while being homeless. Some examples are getting bacteria infections and needing a tetanus shot so I don't suffer more. I am not able to treat open wounds, shower, keep warm and eat healthy. Just been Bear maced because The city is a sees pool and scary. Myself being a naïve female whom has trauma, abuse, lifetime disabilities and addiction problems, which has only made this way harder to have stability. I don't want to die!!! I have a son to live for, thankfully he is in the care of my family for the time being. The worst part is being shunned and cut off with helping me with gaining access to have a safe secure place, or even having a family member to remind me I am loved and cared for. Not just financially!!! I lost my mom 3 years ago she was a addict. Rehab and detox many times in my life journey with each time experiencing more loss and hurt which added more defaults and defects to try to cope with, in the recovery world. One day at a time, well that isn't achievable without family, friends, and cooperation's that put you on a list that takes up to a year I've been told addiction is the opposite of connection, PLEASE I need connections! My post is embarrassing and downright helpless but here I am asking for a opportunity to have a safe secure home to grow and live to gain more positive experiences in a peaceful space to call HOME, while dealing with many hardships and being denied over and over again. I want to change my life for a chance to be the woman that is not ashamed and defeated. Please no hard comments, this is my desperate option that I am going to take a chance and ask for help to have a HOME
With safe prayers and love,

JEN
Hoping to get into a place for December first that would be a merry Christmas
