Rescue Disabled Woman from Life-threatening TX Heat After Layoffs
Hey all. I'm Elizabeth (in the 2nd photo) this is Sara.
We're not especially comfortable having a GFM as there's so many people in need, but I think it's time we admit that we need a hand up.
I can say for certainty that this GFM would completely repair our lives, and set us up for the rest of our lives.
GFM has a FAQ section & financial breakdown, and I'm available for any questions in the comments.
Sara & I have been homeless in the back of a sedan converted to be disability-friendly since March after back to back layoffs in her sector, first due to massive corporate bankruptcy, the second due to restructuring.
While my (Elizabeth's) condition is genetic and responding to treatment, Sara was made severely disabled at only 37yo by code-violating housing that was illegal to rent to us. I've been her full time caretaker day & night since that happened many years ago. Even then, the situation is becoming beyond what I can handle. There's no good time for me to sleep without putting Sara at very real risk. The legalities surrounding that illegal rental had us couch surfing, and in & out of extended stays while trying to make a recovery.
This was fine until the back to back layoffs, which have left us completely exposed. It's now becoming life-threatening to Sara to stay in this area, but it's where the money is.
I finally got a windfall with a job out-of-state, in a region where we had always dreamed of moving to together, but need help closing the financial gap;
as of right now, we can't afford our medications even with assistance, govt services are taking too long, and multiple ER trips due to the heat have caused delays for bills. Sara was improving with a breakthrough treatment that may help her become fully abled again, but is being massively set back and at-risk.
This is my dream job, I hope to be in it for a long time; it's in the region we've wanted to settle in for almost a decade now, and it might very well be the place we grow old together.
The GFM itself has more information.
Thank you for reading. Y'all stay safe yourselves!
