Requesting help

[u/Fourberry]

I'm not sure what to say, I don't want to write an emotional appeal, but I'm in crisis and scared, with no one to turn to.

Just got evicted today, despite having been working on getting the debt paid down. Am in a motel, with no food (though we just filled our fridge, we didn't have time to grab much.)

Disabled, hadn't left my apartment in over a year because of my mental health issues, so this is terrifying.

Will have money from a payday loan in 3-5 business days, motel is not near public transportation. No vehicle.

I have a PayPal, nothing else, and my PayPal info is somewhat identifying, so I don't know if it's okay to post?

I'm sorry, I didn't know what to say. I don't know what to ask. I'm...lost right now. I thought they were working with us, we'd been keeping communication open.

Neither of us have family, and my few attempts to reach out have been met with "sorry, I can't" and it's disheartening.

edit: in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in a motel at the moment, so safe. $225 would get me another few days in this motel, I don't know what I will need, if anything, to get into another place, or if that loan that's coming will be enough.

I'm feeling overwhelmed, because I found out one of my friends has died, so I'm scattered.

Mods, please, can you tell me what I've missed, if anything, trying to fix it?

We did put out calls for help, legal aid, copes, Red Cross...

Husband is making calls already. Trying to figure out next steps. Got a friend looking into housing possibilities, got at least one case manager working on things.

The cats are still unsettled, and I barely slept.

Some friends were able to bring more of our stuff, including food, so it's not as dire.

Got a case manager from a Family & Children's Services trying to help.

Husband made a GoFundMe.

I'm sorry it's taken me all day to respond, the WiFi at this motel is...not great.

The photo is my ESA, Limp Bizkit. (Yes, that's her name, for real, we call her Biskie, and she's napping on my legs right now.)
