Support a Caregiver's Fight for Stability

Last year, I lost my apartment with residents of six other buildings due to a new property management company terminating our leases. It was tough, and thankfully, I could raise the funds to cover the move to another apartment. It came one year after my mom passed away and six years after I started caring for her...

But things have been tight the past few months: I haven't been able to find work despite having two small gigs (some income, not much), but I've been having trouble paying rent. I have looked into assistance, but do not qualify. My landlord is threatening eviction (and is currently doing so - see my last update), and finding a new place to accept two cats (one, Frankie, is pictured) will be challenging.

But I want to meet my responsibilities, so I'm asking for help (again) with covering my rent. I have some irons in the fire and have followed up various job leads. (Although I am used to working freelance remotely when caring for Mom, I'm open to anything, even full-time in-office work). Funds will be used to pay off the remaining rent debt and keep me housed until July. Anything over that amount will be applied to future rent and bills.

(UPDATE - my landlord has made me an offer: wave past rent if I move out by June 30th or face 5-day notice & eviction. So I'm shifting the focus of this fundraiser: since I could not raise the funds to cover past rent, all funds raised towards my initial $2500 goal will be used for

* Moving Expenses

* Storage of Furniture and Personal Items

* Possible Deposit on a Sleeping Room)

Caregiving comes with a financial cost, and I was neither emotionally nor emotionally ready for a move. However, I had to leave due to external factors and wish to stay housed and move forward with my life. Many people do not believe there is life after caregiving and grief. I do, and I want the chance to prove it.

If you can help with a donation, great! If you cannot, I ask that you share this fundraiser with your friends and colleagues. Any help is appreciated, and thank you for your time and consideration.
