Like many other families right now, my own is in crisis.
I live with my sister (who’s essentially my parent), brother-in-law (essentially stepdad), and our goofy cat children. Due to disabilities and injuries, my brother-in-law is the only one of us able to work full time at the moment.
Last month we found out that due to our landlord’s current financial state, we need to be moved out of our home by the end of November. Right after being told this, my brother-in-law lost his job, and unemployment is backed up so we haven’t gotten any government financial support.
We’re not sure how we’re going to get through these next months. We need to somehow get enough money to move ASAP, but we also need essential medications (which cost an unreasonable amount without insurance) and other general life essentials.
Life is in a very uncertain spot right now and I just … have no idea what’s going to happen. I also don’t know whether I’m going to be keeping up with this blog or not for the foreseeable future due to everything, but we’ll see what happens. I’m just feeling scared and unsure of what to do.
If anyone wants to help and is in a spot where it would be safe to, even a couple dollars would help right now. The best places would be greenandrainy on Venmo or my Ko-Fi.
No worries if that’s not feasible, though. This year has not been kind and you should do what you can to stay safe. ♥
I love you all, and I wish you all safety and comfort in these chaotic times.
