Hi.
I realize there are a lot of people in trouble right now. I'm there too, so I have to ask for help. Again. I wish I didn't have. I'm so tired of living like that, being seen as a ne'r-d-well or lazy or needy or "one of those poor people".
Right now, I need to find another place to live. Sue's under a lot of stress, her husband's not well, income has been split, and so I'm now a huge burden and she's given me notice. Even if I were to get $350 a month (my rent), it's no longer an option. I have to leave and I have four weeks to find some place or it's a shelter. She'll keep my stuff here if I can't take it, but in four weeks, I need to go regardless.
I was trying to find work, finding a place that could help with rent for more than one month, but I haven't been able to. It's hard because I'm depressed, I hurt, and I'm beyond frustrated. I'm still waiting to hear from SSI, but it's iffy whether I'll be able to qualify.
I don't want to go to a shelter, but I'll have to if I can't find something else. I don't qualify for a few places that I called today b/c I can't work in the traditional way. Meaning, I can only sit like a stump in front of the computer and every few hours, I have to lie down and rest by spine, particularly my neck. The shelters won't accommodate that. I'm still looking, still trying to find something, but ...
Shit.
Anyone got a spare room? Corner in the basement? Attic? Contacts? Something? I can vacuum. I can do dishes. Make a bed. I can cook. I can babysit. I can do office work (it's just the constant head turning that's giving me a mind-dumping headache).
Please don't feel guilty if you can't help. I just have no choice but to ask. So here's I am.
If you'd like to contact me, my email is oona at kendra dot com. If you'd like to call, I can give you the number in an email. Christ, I sound like a telethon.
