Brittany Ashley hasn't added a story.
Hello, My name is Brittany and I was diagnosed at 14 with high risk leukemia in 2005.
When I had cancer in 2005, My mom lost her job, lost our house because she couldn’t pay rent. I was inpatient in the hospital at the time, so we didn’t care. When I was released from the hospital, I went to a hotel. I lived in hotel from October 2005- February 2006. The state couldn’t help, they told my mom to live in the car with me, knowing I had cancer and they could take me away. Since I was immune suppressed, I couldn’t live in a shelter either. Needless to say, that time in my life is over with. I think we are given these obstacles to build character, gain understanding, and help others.
Little did I know...
My mom lost her job as a result of a sexual assault. She is now disabled. We got an eviction notice and we have to move out by the end of this month. Which brings me to my PTSD.In 2005, we became Homeless on Halloween and in 2015, we have to be out by Halloween. I really don’t know what to do or where to go. It is so scary. NY is pretty much killing me in the winter time so I don’t want to live here anymore.
I was trying to keep it all in and not post anything and keep a brave face but now my PTSD is kicking in. I need help. I don’t know what to do. We just found out last week that we had to move. The landlord had a change of heart and wants to kick us out, at first he said it was okay as long as he get some money.
I normally don’t ask people for help but can you help me. Please. We have 6 days left.
I can’t eat or sleep, I’m so stressed, I know this is not good for my health.
The money will help us move from New York and find a cheap, safe roof over our heads.
Thank you so much for reading and/or donating.
