Please Help us Survive the Summer
Hi there again. I'm Casi. I'm a disabled Enby who is the only caregiver for my elderly disabled mother, and we're Homeless.
Mom is 70yrs old and has chronic bronchitis and arthritis and Mobility issues, and I'm chronically ill and multiply disabled myself. Where we live has already had multiple days of 105°F (40°C) temperatures throughout the Spring, its gonna be a hot summer. We cannot be on the Streets.
I have us in a Hotel because its the safest option for us. We have no family that can put us up for even a night and while I'm always on the lookout for outreach groups and programs we might qualify for, at this point we're on our own.[ and incredibly grateful for all the kind and generous support to help us through]
But the rates have gone up to Summer Prices which will make things a little more difficult than they already are. The Current rate is $98.30 a day / $688.03 a Week.
Moms Social Security is our only stable income apart from donations and my Redbubble and Ko-Fi shops where I sell my art. I've been looking for stable work but its always been a joke that there "more people than jobs" in this town and that's even truer now than ever, and without any transportation I can't even do Odd Jobs or Gigwork.[cant doordash on foot, can't to yardwork on the other side of town if I cant get myself there and back safely etc...]
Moms income will only cover 12 days of the month, and that's without putting any of that towards Meds or Groceries. We do get $290 SNAP/Food Stamps, on the 9th, but with the prices of everything between absofuckinglutly ridiculous, that too, only goes so far.
Literally Any Amount of Help would be incredibly appreciated. Really and Truly.
PayPal // Ko-Fi / Redbubble
Edit: Good News!!!! The rate hasn't gone up as far as I had been told!!! Its $84 a night // $590 a week!!!!!
Still a strain, but more manageable.
Edit Canceled. Went back in with Moms Second check to pay for another week and ?? It Is $688 a week. [At least when Nadia isnt in the office. :/ maybe ]
Rachel was super kind and helpful and allowed me to owe a $96.45 balance because "they know you'll get it to them"
So. Both of Moms checks have come and gone.
We have the room reserved until the 14th with a $96.45 balance outstanding on the Reservation. The room IS unfortunately $688 a week now with the summer tourism taxes and fees.
Literally any amount of help would be so incredibly appreciated.
Gonna delete these edits and put the post back to original format tomorrow because I'm back at Square one more or less lmfao but I figured I'd leave them up for 24hrs for information purposes
