Help me survive eviction and unemployment
Hi, I'm a graphic designer and illustrator, I live with my little brother and my 2 elderly parents, they're both retired now, and my mom is disabled. I'm also disabled, back in 2015 I started a lupus flared up that has worsened, blend with other illnesses and become one of the reasons of my disability. Last year the owners of our apartment told us they're selling the place, and we need to leave, so we're running out of time. Also, in November the company I worked for went under, and no matter how much I have searched and tried, I haven't found a new job or gig. 5 months later and I'm indebted for grocerie bills, unable to buy my lupus medication, or pay for the testing I need, and I don't have any way to get a new place. I'm desperate, this is my last attempt. I have already sold what I could sell, I'm beyond distressed. The amount is quite big, it's basically covering $2000, that's 3 times the monthly rent, which is the minimum requirement for any renting, (deposit, the first month and 1 month ahead). There's $1000 to pay for around a month of living expenses, like electricity, gas, phone, internet, and maintenance bills. Groceries, specially rich in iron, because lupus has caused me a severe and chronic anaemia, including my cats food, transportation, litter box sand, etc. Then there's $1300 for medication for blood pressure, lupus, asthma, meniers, hajimoto and the MRI, blood testing and appointments, needed to either verify or deny a multiple sclerosis diagnosis, so I can also start treatment if necessary. $500 will be used for the moving; paying the connection of phone, internet, gas and maintenance, as well as a moving truck, since my mom and I are disabled and wouldn't be able to help my little brother and my elderly Dad to move everything. Finally, there's $200 that I'll be giving to the person that has been loaning me money to buy food. It is not, the full amount, just a token of acknowledgement of the debt and a promise to be able to pay it off later on. Please, I beg you, help me and my family out of this miserable situation, without the money I won't have meds , without meds I won't be stable enough to get a job, if I'm in bed a full week, what job will accept me? Please, if you can give a dollar, give a dollar, whatever you can spare, and even more, share this fund, we need so much kindness and help. Thank you.

Update #1 Guess I shouldn't erase this?
July 5th, 2025
To be honest I thought I had erased this campaign, been at a loss for so long, with the state of the world and me, crying out to the void that I need help, but no help comes forth. Then a few days ago I received an email telling me someone did actually help... still don't know how to feel about it. For update I can say we're looking for places, I'm waiting for a referral appointment to have an EMG, for the vertigo and possible MS; waiting for endo appointment to check the Hajimoto, and I was given a clean bill of health in regards to my anemia, the hematologist said I will definitely have to go back because of lupus but at the moment I won't be needing blood or injections. I'm thankful for that. Got meds for almost everything, except the lupus and I'm still searching for jobs. I will be turning 37 in a month and a half, can I dream of a new place by then? I'm praying for health, a nice place and a job by the time I turn 37. Becoming disable was not what I had planned, feeling like dead weight it's something I have to fight everyday, but still, I dream with a place, good enough health to keep a job and be of help to my parents and brother. I will be sharing my fundraiser on twitter, I have no friends nor family to share my fundraiser that way, but I have been told that maybe tagging celebrities might help. I don't know, but I will try, I don't lose anything by trying.
