~UPDATED Goal and why
I apologize for the radio silence on updates for you guys. Its been.. interesting for lack of a better word. I was hoping not to have a need to come back to this, but the situation far less than manageable at the moment. For a quick update since last time (down below if you wish to read) my partner is finally at a place in his recovery to walk and move with little to no pain, though not for longer than a few minutes.
Its been a struggle just getting this far with the chronic pain, doctor's visits, fighting with temporary disability at his work, and the recent events in toe, its been quite an up-hill battle, but unfortunately our struggle is far from over.
->Next section comes with a Trigger Warning<-
Without going into too much detail, the rent backed up to a point of no return and a deal was made with an old coworkers of mine to help us with bills and in exchange give him a place to stay and drive him to work. Again, I won't give details, but we had to forcibly evict him and get a PO(Protection Order) due to sexual assault and have been backed into a corner since.
The landlord, despite knowing our situation and everything since per her request, has been less than respectful and has now threatened to evict us in 10 days(received March 30th). We've explored every avenue we could through churches, charities, and foundations in our area and, with very little in our state to begin with sadly, its turned up with nothing but dead ends with every avenue being eviction first.
I tried my best to condense everything that's happened in about 5 months to a few sentences so I apologize if it comes off as long winded. All in all, we need help to get out of this place and into a new one. We've talked long and hard and I even got a case worker for us to try and move along this rough patch, coming to the decision that it'd be better if we just leave our current apartment and find someplace new with a few more resources in the zip code at the least for aid.
Again, do not risk your own skin to donate, only give if you can or want to afford it. Anything helps and I will keep you updated if anything changes.
Thank you.

After a 2 week illness put us in the negative and kept us there for almost 3 months now, its getting bad. I never wanted to make one of these and I definitely don't like asking for financial help from people due to past issues, but I have little choice in the matter at this point.
My partner works his butt off and despite all the budgeting and hours, its barely kept us afloat. The car tires are about to bust, the rent increased, car payments are due, and the electric is about to shut off just from one of us getting the Flu. On top of all of this, I am currently waiting on hearing back from the SSA on filing for disability. I have Chiari Malformation(A hereditary condition that essentially squeezes the back of my brain into my spinal cord and causes extremely debilitating migraines) and don't qualify for the surgery let alone how much it'd cost to add on to my mounting medical debt, so this is the only route i can take right now after being forced to leave my job when my employer refused to work with me on scheduling.
It's not often I ask for help in any form, but my partner is drowning in stress and I can't wait on the government's often year long decision. Times are tough so only donate if you're able or please consider sharing this around. This fund will only go to bills and especially the car. Any funds left will be locked in an emergency savings account to help us move to a better situation in the future.
Thank you for reading and be safe out there. ~<3
