Help my father with rent

[u/kirakina]

Hello, I'm Kira, I am 32 years old and I am diagnosed as autistic with ptsd and depression. I am applying for disability and I've done everything in my power to not have to post something like this but here we go....

Does anyone have any way of helping me.

I have 7 years experience dog training and a few years veterinary. I've also worked in Healthcare as a Phlebotomist for several years. I've just fallen on severely hard times after my dad was almost killed last year by a hit and run driver, were all severely experiencing financial hardship and we've even tried go fund me and my sister put up a fundraiser in her community but people seem to think they're fake or promise to donate and dont. I can provide info about this if anyone is interested but he spent a month in icu at harborview in seattle, a month in rehabilitation, and another 5 months recovering at home. During this time my mother left my dad, took everything, forced him to sell the house of which he got just enough to get an rv and help me get one as well. We were homeless basically for a few months before moving to a vfw park but they got shut down and we just bairly missed being homeless again when a friend was kind enough to rent out space to us on her farm (800 rent) and we've struggled and half starved but we're not homeless atleast.

Now we're about to lose our phones due to a issue with my father's bank and I'm scrambling to help.

Anyone who knows me and my father knows we will give the shirt off our back to help those who need it and it has come back to bite us several times but we keep helping. I believe in being kind to everyone and I learned this from my father.

Right now I'm doing everything I can, I can bake cookies, make some simple scarves, hats, and small drawstring bags. I can walk dogs and do basic baths and grooming in home, I can do cat nails, I can work with basic training for dogs (I was certified through akc and can get my trainer ID if needed).

Right now I'm job searching but each job I've applied for I'm either over or under qualified. I've applied for almost 250 jobs and had 5 call backs... I'm supporting myself and my pets and my father and his pets. The food banks are running low on food and the pet food banks have shut down that I went to. My gas tank takes $50 to fill and can get me several days of doordash. My dad's rent is 800 and if I coukd get that partially covered for him I would cry.

Thank you so much for reading this, I never thought I would be someone to post this but here I am...

I do wish everyone a wonderful holiday season!

If the hit and run driver was identified, there should be a case against them. Sometimes states have victim funds too. You need to speak with a personal injury attorney if you havent got one.

So like most financial woes , you have to have money coming in. Its best to spend less than you bring in. Make a budget. Pay bills in order of importance. Make use of any and all resources. Food banks , utility assistance and foodstamps. Get free government phones. Get anything offered by charities or churches. Donating plasma can bring in good money. I dumpster dive. If you are ever near a Dollar General or Aldis . just peek in. You might be surprised. I never pass by any dumpster thats open and available without looking in. Im not wasting my gas money. You can pm me if you would like to discuss the hobby more.

I dive as well. It's been helpful but the places nearby are not great for it. We've been trying to bring in any and all money
