I am a woman in her 20s located in the Chicago suburbs who is in need of urgent help. I am currently without work & both mentally & physically disabled. I have Borderline Personality Disorder, PTSD, Severe Anxiety & Recurring Depression. I also live with a physical condition that causes constant pain & lack of dexterity in my left hand, wrist & arm as a result of a suicide attempt. I spent years overworking myself to the point that the damage is unrepairable. Right now, I am at risk of losing my home within the next 3 days. I need help with rental costs, utilities & general medical costs. I am currently sick due to my apartment not being in livable condition. & I am seeing a psychiatrist, primary doctor & visiting urgent care & hospitals as necessary. Medical costs are growing more & more. If you can, anything helps. I am running out of time. I have attempted to find outside assistance, but nothing has come through for me. I was told I would receive rental assistance for this outstanding balance, but that was taken away from me without warning. Due to that, I am now asking for your help. I am currently in the process of applying for disability benefits & while we are making progress on my case, I currently am not receiving any kind of help outside of food & phone service. I recently opened a small online fashion business with drawings I created to cope with my illnesses (foreverxalways.com), but I have yet to make enough sales to build the funds I need to survive. This is my last resort.
Thank you for your time & your kindness. I only wish for things to get better. This battle has been going on for me since 2020. I live alone & struggle to manage things by myself for the most part. I am currently at 10 months since my disability case began. My doctors are supportive in the process, but in the meantime, I have no one to turn to for help. If you can, it would mean the world to me. Thank you.
