Severely disabled brother attacked at shelter, need funds immediately for an Airbnb
Hi. As many of you know, my brother Sabastian was illegally and forcibly evicted from where he was renting in Nov 2024. He has severe schizophrenia, ADHD, autism, cerebral palsy, and has a developmental delay. One morning the landlord woke Sabastian up and said he needed to leave because he was moving a family member in. When my brother started asking questions, he was assaulted and removed from property.
We tried to call disability and see if they would give him enough for first and last months rent. Upon speaking to his worker, they informed us that they only give it every 12 months from the last time he got it, which was July 2024. So we are unable to get support from disability at the time.
On top of that, our parents live in Rent Geared to Income housing and cannot have anyone else, whose name isn’t mentioned on the lease, living with them. I cannot take him in either, my place is too small, with personal support workers and nurses in and out every day.
Today he was attacked at the shelter after just getting out of the hospital this morning for his rapidly declining mental health. They uttered death threats to him so he needs somewhere safe and warm to sleep. He’s been fighting for so long now, just to get the basic necessities. He desperately needs support.
Our hands are tied, so the only way forward is to ask for some help. We found an Airbnb for my brother to stay at, which is $1017 a month, until he finds a place in his price range.
