Where are you; what town?

Here is a website that might help you find something.

https://www.hud.gov/apps/section8/step2.cfm?state=AZ,Arizona

I wish you the best of luck!
I dont know your situation. Do you have a car? $500 could buy you some camping gear and enough gas to get you someplace cooler. Do you need to stay where you are for medical reasons?

 

[Txjaybird]

Sounds like you are certainly in a bad situation.  Do you know what the eviction laws are where you live?  If not I suggest you contact Legal Aid or a lawyer and find out.  If you are on SSI your SSI case manager should be able to help you.  Where I live eviction is a process.  The land lord can request an eviction however the tenant can ask the court for a stay or order to have time to prove they should not be evicted.  Of course I think this depends on the circumstances of the eviction.

I have a Granddaughter with the same disease as you,  however not as bad as she can go to school. 

 Also one with mastocytosis which is a very rare disorder affecting her mast cells.  She is the 1st person in recorded medical history to have 2 different mutant genes for this, with one affecting her externally and one internally.  

It is a shame that with all the progress mankind has made we still can't cure or combat so many disease's and disorders.

I hope you find the help you need.

Hi slynne , 
no i do not have a car , that is what i am looking for 
something big enough to make a bed in the back , and
i am sorry i know $500.00 is not much but the only income 
i get is S.S.I. at $735.00 per month
and the other $235.00 would be for tags and insuerance and gas

Have you tried Otezla for your psoriasis? It is really expensive but the company helps with cost. I don't know what medicare/medicaid does with something like that. Doctors get trial packs of it.

 

[Pat Schuerman]

Hi TXjaybird 
all i know about the Eviction laws in Arizona is that they " STINK " !  :dodgy:
why i am being evicted is because i am a Smoker , i just went to pay rent 
for this month and now they tacked on another $11.00 to my rent for stupid 
LATE FEES , sense when did the rent due date changed ? :huh:
it has always been the 10th of every month   :dodgy:
they are Nickel and Dimeing me to death 
when i moved in here ( about 5 years ago ) and even before i signed the 
papers to move in i asked them if it was ok to smoke in my apartment , 
they told me yes and now they pull this on me ?!?!!!!!   
Stress is the number 1 LOVE of Psoriasis along with extream Heat and Cold 
and i do not know how much longer i can take this kind of stress

My heart goes out to you....I'm hoping someone close will be able to help.

In that video, you have a daughter on set with you, can she help?

If there is some issue...please dont feel like you have to answer....

If not there are usually women's shelters in larger cities...maybe they can provide a place to stay.



Here is a listing for Phoenix, if that is where you are:

to get it my insuerance is very picky

Hi tx2sturgis
No my Daughter is living with my brother and is struggeling as it is too
and as for shelters , i dpnt know if i want to go that route , i am afraid 
if i go to a shelter and they take one look at me and tell me , " sorry we
cannot allow you to stay here because we do not know if you are contagious or not "
My home town of Sedona Arizona did that to me , i could not go into any resturants or circle K's 
or stores they all told me "come back with a written statement from your doctor stateing that what 
you have is not contagious and then we will let you in " so basically i was litterally kicked out of my 
home town of Sedona Arizona

Hi CautionToTheWind
i am in Cottonwood Arizona

[tx2sturgis]

If it comes to it, you could certainly call several of the homes and ask, and then if needed, provide a statement from your doctor that you are NOT contagious and then maybe offer to wear long sleeves and maybe loose sweat pants....I dont know how much covering you can tolerate.

But its an option....several of them appear to provide assistance with medical conditions...

Not much help I know, but maybe call them tomorrow, and there are links to other towns in Arizona.

There are also retirement homes and nursing homes that have openings based on immediate need and ability (or inability) to pay. You do have some options....you just need to take some time and find them.

Good luck to you.

It does sound like you need a lifestyle change. Have you tried living in a van? Sorry just not sure how your request pertains to this forum otherwise. Maybe save up $800 or so and buy an old cargo van and go from there. That's the benefit of van life, it allows you to lay low and reassess while saving up more.

Give them a call and see if they can help or lead you to someone who can.

 

[Dennis]

The only help most of us can give is ideas and sounds like you have had some real professional help.

Did the diet change not help at all? That seems to be a big deal in treating this. Along with not smoking. I know diets are not cheap and hard to eat always the way you need to. Also that smoking is extremely hard to stop.
I have a brother that was a die hard smoker (60 + years) and spent way more money than he would admit on smokes. Finally though he started vaping. His apartment started smelling better and he had more money to eat and pay bills. Cost was next to nothing. Now a little over a year later after cutting down the nicotine bit by bit he doesn't even vape any more. Feels better and I think I mentioned he has more available cash.

BTW, my daughter has been dealing with psoriasis for a number of years and nothing helped until she got on Otezla. Now however, her insurance company won't let the manufacturer's assistance be used for co pay to make it affordable. So I know what you are dealing with.

 

[Pat Schuerman]

I hope i did not miss anyone 
If i did please re-post and i will answer 
and for the rest of you Thank you so much for responding to my Thread
i told a friend of mine that before i leave this earth i want to go and see 
and do things , she suggested for me to go on those bus tours , i told her 
that i want to see and  do things on my time not a tour time , and Bob Walls
( The Founder and the Director of the RCR ) is absolutely correct when saying 
that we are throwing our own money away when we rent i want be able to take 
control of my money and not make someone elses wallet and bank accounts fatter 
and there is no bus tour in the USA that would take me to an RCR meeting or take
me to see these hidden GEMS that are not on the main highways 
every time ( which is all the time ) |that i watch you guys on YouTube i begin to cry 
knowing that i cannot enjoy the things that you guys enjoy and see the BEAUTY that 
you guys see , i have not been out of Arizona out of 53 years that i have been on this 
earth , heck i have never seen the ocean or a Dalphin or a Shark or a Whale , 
i have never seen a Moose or a Mountain Lion or a Bear or even a Wolf or even a Deer , 
and i have not been out of this apartment in 5 or 6 years , i feel like a CAGED 
ANIMAL i want to be free 
i cannot take feeling like a caged animal any longer , i want to be free
but i know that that is only a dream and i should stop thinking about it , but i cannot 
stop ,it is getting stronger and stronger by the day and there is no way that i have the
strength nor the power to stop this feeling and drive that is taking over my mind , body and soul
How I long to see the BEAUTY that is in the USA for all of us to see and enjoy , but i know that 
will never happen for me for me it is only a dream not a reality  , and i can only wish for it to be a reality
and not a dream
sorry guys , i will shut up now

Hi TMG51
You are absolutely correct i do need a change and i need it now!!!!!!!!!! 
that is why i created this " Please Help Me 9-1-1 " Thread 
i would LOVE to get a van so that i can build a bed in the back 
and the only way that i can pay for a van is to make payments 
on it due to that i only get S.S.I. ( $735.00 ) per month , once i 
pay off the van i know that i can breathe easyer

If it were just a matter of a few hundred dollars help could be arranged but that does nothing long term. My solution would a shelter where you could live free and save a bit of money for transportation. There are several people living at your income level, I'm not sure so maybe one of them will respond.

I wish you well.

 

[Pat Schuerman]

Hi RobndaHood
What kind of help ?
 i am not asking for long term , just short term so that i can be able to get a van ( so i can put a bed in the back ) 
so that i can get on the road , i would me more than happy to pay anyone back in monthly payments
