A month or so ago my mom was diagnosed with Vikings Disease which causes bones and joints to curl up to the point where they can't be used anymore. There is no known cure for it. My mom got it from an injury at her job where she shattered her shoulder bones and all of the bones in her wrist. This caused her body to sustain a lot of trauma that triggered the recessive genetic disorder.

Since this has happened I have seen my mom in pain every day and basically watched her health deteriorate in front of me. On top of this she is having problem with her teeth but neither one of us can afford dental care or anything at the moment. So it's just been hard to see my mom basically falling apart in front of me and there is nothing I can do to fix the problem besides just try to help her rub her hands, take her to physical therapy when I get away from working, and just pray she will get better.

Because of my depression, social anxiety, ptsd, agoraphobia, and other physical/ emotional disorders I work out of the house but only bring in half of the rent. This is do to the trauma from my very abusive childhood, abuse at school, and extensive abuse in the workplace. My mom is going to doctors appointments and hasn't been able to find any work due to her condition. So we are in a very financially hard place right now.

My mom was denied payments from workmen's comp after getting diagnosed with Vikings Disease and we have no way of covering the extra portion of the rent each month. She was able to get an attorney for her workman's comp case, but her attorney won't be able to reinstate her monthly payments for another three months.

We are still trying to find a disability attorney to get her monthly disability payments in addition to workman's compensation. But her current attorney told her that she probably won't see any money from disability for one to two years, the way the current legal system works in my state.

We only have one more day to find the rest of the money or we will be kicked out of our place.

We've tried getting help from as many agencies as possible to get financial assistance but it's been hard. A lot of agencies have very specific requirements, like you have to have a child under the age of eighteen, you have to be a certain gender, a certain race, or certain religion to receive any financial help.

This whole experience has made me wonder why they have to divide the community services up in the way they do, when I believe that help should be accessible to everyone, despite their demographic. But unfortunately the way the system is, you have to meet very specific requirements to receive any kind of help.

We went to a pawn shop yesterday as well as a local used book store and sold what few possessions we had left in hopes that it would at least give us enough money to drive to a local shelter and cover other various expenses that come with moving (forced or not). We were only able to make fifty dollars from that venture at the end of the day, but we tried our best.

We are continuing trying to find as many resources as possible, but with only one day left, it is looking like we will be homeless.

My mom and I have been facing various issues for seven years now. We've been chased down by a family member who intends us harm. On top of that, we've always had something come up which hasn't allowed for us to save up.

When we first moved to the valley to escape my step dad, my mom and I lived with a publisher. My mom did the marketing and I did her website. But one day the publisher decided she didn't want to pay us and threw us on the street, so that was the first time we were homeless.

Shortly after we lived with a roommate who kept asking for more and more money (ripping us off) until my mom And i couldn't afford it and had to move.

The third place we lived in got flooded out and we literally had to leave with very limited resources within a week.

The place we lived now was infested with bed bugs shortly after which caused us to get rid of all of our furniture and most of our clothes. We still don't have any beds to sleep on because we can't afford it.

Now we are in a worst situation. We've been going through a hard time since my mom got her work Injury back in April. And it's only a miracle that we haven't been homeless for five months.

My mom was receiving a disability payments for her work injury but they cut her off when they learned about her Vikings Disease.
So now we are in a situation where we literally have no way of paying for the rest of the rent. And that brings us to where we are now.

I don't want anyone to be worried about our situation but I just want everyone to keep my mom and I in your prayers. We need lots of prayer and positive energy right now. Both would be very much appreciated.

So that's basically where I am at, at this point in time. Thank you to everyone who listened. I just needed a place to put out some of my frustrations. And I think that this helped a lot. If I am not on the site after this week, you will know why. Just continue to keep my mom and I in your prayers and send positive energy our way. Both are very much appreciated.

I am so sorry to hear that. I wish you and your family the best of luck!

5529170 Thank you kindly my friend. Just send positive energy and prayers our way. We definitely need both. :)

5529148 Wish there was a way we could help you on a personal level, but I guess having support is better than nothing. I hope you and your mom get through your dark times safely.

5529259 Well dearie, I ain't religious either but encouragement is always second best in my books.

5529259 I am not really a religious person either. I am spiritual with a wide range of beliefs. But I would appreciate any positive energy and thoughts sent my way. :)

5529513 Thank you very much for the encouraging words. They mean a lot to me. :) Just keep sending positive energy my way. It is very much appreciated.

5529557 No problem at all. I simply loathe to think about how petty I myself can be when I have so much and others aren't as fortunate, so I do as much as I am able to help those less fortunate than me.
We all go through hardships, whether small or big, but there is always a glimmer of light in that darkness, so keep following it and you'll be okay.

5529757 I completely agree. I am just going to keep a positive attitude and press through things the best that I can, no matter what happens.

I just look at this as a life experience that will make me a better person and give me compassion for other people's struggles.

I can tell you that after everything I've been through, I will never turn away help from anyone who is in need of it. I will always be available to offer help, support, and advice to those who ask for it.

These life events help you to walk in the shoes of other people and understand their situation.

And these situations always show you who your true friends are. Those who are willing to stick by you and encourage you to succeed are the people that are the most valuable.

And because of this, I am glad I have gone through everything I have. Because it just makes me stronger, gives me compassion for others, the tools to help people, builds my character, teaches me to be positive no matter what life sends my way, and shows me who my true friends are.

My mom and I somehow were able to find the $400.00 we needed to pay the rent for the month of October so we won't be homeless.

A long time friend who saw my mom's post on her Facebook wall about the hard times we have been going through sent her the exact amount we need to cover the rest of the rent.

We still have the months of November and December to worry about, but we are just going to take things one month at a time.

Thank you to everyone who has kept my mom and I in your thoughts and prayers. I really believe that the good energy sent our way from the many people on both this and other sites has seen us through.

I also want to take the time to thank my best friend in real life Sherlock Hooves for saving my butt in the month of September. If it wasn't for him and his generosity, my mom would have been on the street in September. So please follow him and support all of the great things he does both on this site and others.

I would also like to take the time to thank RC2101_Copey for sending me a donation through my tip jar. Their donation helped us have some extra money to pay for our phone bill. Please follow this person here on the site and all of their social media. They are a great person and deserve all of the followers and support they can get.

Thank you again for everyone who is continuing to keep my mom and I in your prayers. We definitely need them to get through the months of November and December until my mom's workman's comp payments will go through again.

Many thanks to all of you. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers as well and sending positive vibes your way.

5531273 Yay! I I hope you find enough money to last the rest of the year as well then!

5531295 I am excited as well. I am just keeping the hope alive in my heart and wishing for the best.

Thank you so much for allowing me to talk about this in the group. I think it really helped to just voice my frustrations and talk about what I was going through.

Keep sending positive energy to my mom and I if you think of it. :)

And keep up the great work with everything you do here in your group.
