This morning I posted a very long diary to ask for help because I am in a crisis situation, and so are the two “pooties” you see in this picture. So far, the response has been amazing and heartening, and humbling as well. But while much progress has been made (more on that below the fold) — there is still a long way to go.
I was advised to do an updated diary that is shorter, with just the basics. Anyone who wants to know the full back story can absolutely check out the link ^^ up there. Or just ask me.
Here’s the situation in as brief a nutshell as I can write it:
I’m being evicted from my apartment as of Tuesday, 10/4/16 because my landlord is concerned that once my unemployment benefits run out, he won’t get paid — so he’s taking preemptive action.
There’s nothing I can do to stop it at this point. Nor is there anywhere for me to go, as the limited services for homeless people in this area focus primarily on families with kids, and the ones I found that work with women like me are all full, with waiting lists (which I’m on, but it will take time). I’m also on a waiting list for public housing, but again, it will take time. How much time, no one can say.
A couple of Kossacks who found out about my plight suggested that I set up a GoFundMe page and link to it here, in the hope of raising some funds to obtain the one thing that may solve several problems at once for me — a car.
Here’s the GoFundMe link: gofundme.com/2rrh7ds4

If you would like to discuss other alternatives, please send me a Kosmail. Otherwise, please see the additional info below the fold — and thank you.
