I’m a recovering addict with a Little over two years clean I’m 47 years old and I’ve struggled with addiction, depression, and anxiety most of my life. I have four adult children and 8 beautiful grandchildren after my last two grandchildren were born a little over two years ago I decided that I didn’t want to miss anymore of their life or mine. After getting clean I was diagnosed with adult ADHD and realized that I had gone my entire life misdiagnosed and that answered every question I have ever had about my relationships and my inability to cope in society. I want a life with my grandkids and my dog Penelope. I’ve struggled with homelessness since my dad had a stroke and I lost the house that was in his name, but experiencing homelessness during recovery is still better than any day in active addiction. I love spending time with my grandchildren, but it’s really difficult homeless. I was blessed to be able to start a small business out of the shop in the back of my ex-husband‘s house making home decor items and taking to the trade day to sell. It is coming along ok but it’s never enough to cover food, shelter, transportation and every day expenses, much less am I able to save enough to get a car or a place to live. I need a vehicle to be able to my take my decor items back-and-forth to the trade day as well as better equipment be able to increase my inventory. I love my life today and I know that with the help of my recovery family as well as counseling and tools to help me get through the new ADHD diagnosis I can have a good life and show my grandchildren and my children that you can turn yourself around and make a better life for yourself at any time. I would love to be able to build one of those tiny homes on the small piece of land with a little shop for my business and a little bit of a yard for my grandchildren and my dog Penelope to play that with. That and a van or truck I would be able to Have a life that I’ve only dreamed of. I could only imagine what it would be like if I was able to just get my head above water. I realize I’ve made mistakes and life is about being able to get up and brush yourself off and move on And I will do this. I just need help to get to other side of this and be safe and not on the street. Any help you could give me would not be in pain. I will pay this forward as soon as I can. Thank you for helping me or any anyone else in need .
You are truly a blessing. Any amount of help towards a shelter and a vehicle would be amazing.
