I still need help.
I've been sick this past week and have lots of payments that need to be made immediately. I am grateful to have an apartment and I feel defeated by the impact my disabilities have on my capacity (especially when I'm sick and/or in a pain flare).
I was able to get reapproved to drive for Lyft and I haven't lost my items that are in storage. I did get notice that they are increasing the rent on the storage units starting Nov 1st, so I do need to empty at least one of the two units before the end of this month.
I continue to struggle with immense feelings of failure and overwhelm as I'm doing my best to keep going. I finally have a safe place and no means to actually move in. It feels like people want everything to be better now that I'm housed, and I guess I'm trying to share about how many struggles there still are for me.
Again, I need help. Please help me reach more people who have the means to share. Every $ makes a big difference for me on my way towards stability.

#HelpShannonGetHousingAndRest <- this is the original campaign name and here is the initial story I wrote out:
I lost access to stable housing last September and need help being able to get back into a place for myself and Luna (my ESA dog). Currently, the storage unit fees are killing me and I need help being able to downsize.
I’m in a deep survival mode pattern right now and am working 6 days a week to try to keep my small business open. I need help. I’m burning out and it’s only a matter of time before I will end up in another flare.
Being dynamically disabled while houseless and overworking is a terrifying place to be.
Please, help me.
