Remade fundraising post bc we got no donos from the other one and it didn't reflect how dire our situation is.
It's really hard and FACING IT is hard. Dion had an entire breakdown when he read my draft of the post bc he feels like he can't say how bad it is - even though it's accurate. But he's never been believed about his pain, starvation, health problems and what that means. It makes it so hard for him to talk about. Plus lately he has to spend all his time distracting himself because it's too much and too scary and emotionally and physically painful for him. Being undocumented, he can't do the house hunting anyways and has to rely on me.
We're also both worried that ppl will think we were stupid to move here, but we weren't, we were desperate and had no better option. Plus we assumed we could rest and heal, make some mone, get a bike and get groceries that way. That was impossible in part due to the bad state the house was in (CO poisoning all winter...) and the landlord's harassment which impacted us more than we could have foreseen.
