Paula B.
I'm 29 years old and have been homeless since December of 2020. My boyfriend was incarcerated June6 of 2021 and currently still is. This left me now with not even the use of his car for shelter. Struggling to survive due to poverty and a strong moral code I unfortunately saught refuge in the household of my ex boyfriend. He was all too thrilled to house me little did I know it was to begin chipping away at anything and everything that I hold dear. I currently still live here and its awful. I wake up everyday sad…that I woke up. I then begin the relentlessness process of searching for a job on foot or bike. I recently had a car hit me while I was on my bike sending me into the road with a very harsh impact. Its painful to walk but I have noone to lookout for me or my incarcerated significant other. I continue on with my job search in pain. I pick up odd jobs here and there the best that I can but am unable to save much less survive. I am lucky and honestly thrilled to tears if I can manage $30 in a day to support myself and boyfriend. Every step toward that I take is progress but is also sabotaged in any way by my ex. I'm so tired I am hungry injured heart broken scared and extremely broken down. I cannot accept defeat and desperately strive to not give up.
I push myself past exhaustion everyday. I look foward to the day when life allows me…if even for a small moment.. mercy rest and relief.

A small donation of any kind would drastically impact my life. even if to simply provide myself 1 meal and a bottle of tylenol.
