i have never depeneded upon the kindness of strangers, i am extremely bashful and painstakingly private, but there is a first time for everything.
i have lost everything i ever had and contact with everyone i have ever known because of my illness. i have schizoaffective disorder and have been in and out of the hospital for over 10 years and though stable, remain in a psychiatric hospital because i have no one to stay with and no place to call home.
i am hoping to raise money to allow for me to rent an apartment, be discharged from the hospital and get back on my feet again.
here’s the rub. i do have $2000/mo. coming in from SSD (money i paid into the system) and though more than some, it’s not enough to secure an apt. on my own (i need assistance) but it’s too much to qualify for government assistance so here i am stuck between a rock and a hard place.
fortunately, the hospital has a computer and i have been able to post this in the hope someone will read my story and want to help me.
