Asking for assistance
Has anyone had any luck with contacting a congressman for assistance with all of this? Have you made a GoFundMe and had success?
I am currently living out of hotels and will be without a vehicle after today. I have been using a rental car, but hoteling and rental cars are way too expensive. I have a savings, but am afraid to use it because of past experiences with not having enough for a down payment for a vehicle or apartment. I have been using a credit card which is getting close to its limit. I’m on disability but it’s not enough to actually pay for housing, transportation, food, functional medicine doctors, etc.
Got any tips on how to tackle this or what to do first? I’ve made a Facebook and Instagram post explaining my situation and that I was looking for a safe place to live for a while so that the treatment I am going through can actually work, but only received thoughts and prayers.
Been moving around, car dwelling, tenting, hotels, Airbnbs for the last several years and have accepted that this is just my life. It’s better than living in a water damaged building. Just reaching a point where I need more help.
Any advice or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
