Amethyst Flynn hasn't added a story.
Obligatory Intro!
Hi there! My name is Amethyst, or Amee for short. I'm a 36 year old disabled person with a little dog and a wonderful and equally disabled husband.
We're a very creative family with a super lot of anxiety attached. This precludes most traditional work, despite the fact that we each feel a lot better if we are contributing within our means and values, though both of us have a tendency not to know the point at which we're acting beyond our means, which leads to burn out and long term worsening of our disabilities.
What Is Happing
Well, without getting too histrionic or despondent, we've gotten a lot of help already from our incredible friends and loved ones. We are so incredibly grateful and appreciate everyone who has cheered us on!
This said, we've been about a month behind on rent ever since SSI approval got me disqualified for DSHS housing assistance. I get just over $500 a month for all living expenses. My husband has been approved for assistance but essentially has to wait until the funding opens up again, and his anxiety disorder is making compliance a huge challenge.
Well, today, we finally got a notice from the sheriff that we are to vacate within the next six days. Six days! I'm going to talk to management tomorrow, see if there is any way to prevent eviction, and if not, ask for a longer grace period.
Where You Can Help
Ultimately, whether we can prevent eviction or have to move, we need funding. Back + current rent will be roughly $4000, give or take some—affordable housing isn't really, is it?—and moving funds would include hiring help with a truck and renting storage.
I don't know where we will go in such a case. We may have to rent a room, which is much more expensive than an apartment I hope we don't have to do that.
In any case, our greatest need is cash. Any amount helps, as do shares and supportive messages.
Overall, I would really like to stay here. I would like to put my creativity to good use for a more sustainable long term solution, and I would absolutely love to stop begging every month.
Please

I mean at least it's not winter anymore, right?
