I’m severely disabled and my accommodation could terminate on 17th July. Please help me avoid homelessness.
Here is an update to my other donations post about the bond + rent situation. As I’ve mentioned, I have a serious neurological condition that prevents me from leaving my bed without a stretcher. See – @fundraiser-evidence for medical reports.
My home care agency no longer has the staff capacity to guarantee advocacy for extensions to my stay at my current accommodation. This means that it’s likely I will be forced to leave by 17th July. I need to do everything to avoid becoming homeless, because having no accommodation and no bed would be deadly with my disability.
Apart from this, I also need to move to a different part of the city for medical reasons, by 21st July. I’m unable to regularly travel to neurologist’s appointments from my current location due to extremely high costs of paramedic transport.
My government housing application is unlikely to be granted by 17th July or 21st July, so I would like to apply for an apartment through a real estate agency. The bond + upfront rent will cost $2535 in total, and I will need to raise another $1997 as soon as possible.
I know this is a great deal of money. I would not be asking for help if I felt I had any other viable solutions to avoiding homelessness after 17th July; I also think getting better access to medical care will dramatically improve my situation – both financially and health-wise.
I would really appreciate any donations to help with the payment. These can be made to my PayPal.me page, linked here. I’m using an 2nd account temporarily to help separate & organise my funds. If PayPal.me doesn’t work, then a transfer can be made to sophaldred at gmail dot com. If you don’t have a PayPal account, then a donation can be made to this
page instead. Thanks everyone for your generosity and your sympathy with my situation.If I’m granted government assistance, any donations received will instead be used for upfront rent + furniture, and/or similar essential expenses.
