Hello.
Well, Covid really hit the majority of us, came like a collapse, and most in the economic area and the stress that caused came health problems.
I have been taking care of my daughter with autism from day 1 but when the diagnosis came in, my total focus was just her safety and therapy at all levels, In my spare time try to focus on volunteering, focus in schools lunches, some time spending from my pocket cause never was enough, ( those faces of joy, never will be forgotten ) with so many children without a meal. Meanwhile, my husband was working two jobs, cause without family around I could not count on anyone for the emergencies that happen with her. Then the health emergency came in, and even the way the people work changed, everyone from offices down to their own places, my husband lost one of his jobs, because buildings floors that were rented to companies closed contracts with the cleaning companies.
We have been renting to have a place to live but was the same tornado that happen with the jobs, happen with the properties, owners started selling, and “lucky us”, the property that we were renting decided to sell. We had 60 days to find a place, in the area, but prices went to the roof, and then my daughter’s special classroom will not accept her if we move out of the predetermined area, we could not afford to rent a house in the same area, but plus the fear of loosing what I have been advocated so much for so many years to lose it, But no choice, we manage to borrow a friend their house address to be able to keep my daughter in the special classroom. We could find a place in that hush time, probably because we were so desperate for a roof, we find a house that give us an ok price, and even though was old, I manage to show my tribe we are gonna be ok, fixing here and there, but look like was not like that, the house was infested with mouses, the owner brought some company to fix the mouse problems, not a permanent solution, and then after summer and fall, the heating broke, winter was starting, owners decided not to invest in fix the machine, they told us was more than $25000, how we can deal with the cold in that property, we have again to look for another roof to live, we could not find again in the same area, move to another city but my daughter school special classroom was safe. Always living with the anguish.
Then probably my body could not handle so much stress, with all the Covid things, and I developed an immune disease, hemolytic anemia, which took the Drs in Canada 8 months, better said, I got Covid and everything amplified, and end it up in an emergency, and then Drs could find out what really was going on, after 8 months.
Still struggling to have a safe place to live, what we are looking for is to get the downpayment for a house, in that way, we will be able to feel secure and safe for my children and ourselves.
Thanks in Advance for your help
