Doomsayer and Local Bog Witch

So this is the official-offical follow up to the housing situation I had last year I had asked everyone for help with.

[ADDITIONAL UPDATE: We have asked family from both sides for assistance. The side that can help, will not. (Yay for sibling bs). The side of the family that would help, cannot.]

We have two months left before our house is done with the nonprofit!! Yippie!!! This means after years of housing instability we would finally have something permanent to call our own for myself and my son!

But we need help getting the small down payment and closing costs together. We still have money saved from when we got help last year that will be going to it and moving costs, but I am asking for help one more time. We've been driving ourselves ragged getting the volunteer hours done and the money has been harder to get together.

If you could please share. Donate if you can.

I'm trying everything I can but it's an uphill battle with the time constraint and any help is deeply appreciated!!!

Please please even if you can't donate, a reblog will get more eyes on it and that can help the most!!

HOUSE OF BONES TIME

My work is only visible to registered users because I won't let Ai take my hard work and self-inflicted psychic damage

But here it is.

I'm currently sick somehow, my body has tapped out and it's protesting basically everything but sleep or laying in bed. I'm having to even push myself to eat.

We also have my cars yearly registration coming up and ran out of the Electric Bill Funding that was covering our electric costs this month, so even extra money we could've had is going to be eaten up. In addition, the stuff I usually have available for extra funds doesn't seem to be pulling through this month so that is also hitting us.

I wanted to share progress pictures of the house, too. They just put cabinets in and we got to pick out flooring and counter tops last week.

All shares and donations are helping us secure this, once this is secure we'll be essentially set and secure in a way we weren't before and wouldn't be in another situation.

Habitat works with our income so our mortgage is not only going to be 0% but our payments won't be more than 33% of what we bring in, ever. And because the mortgage is through Habitat or one of Habitat's partnerships, even if we struggle with payment later there's a lot of leniency than there would be with a traditional home buying contract.

This home can give everyone in my family their own space, which we haven't had in many, many years. As a caregiver to my mom (disabled) and single parent (disabled, Trans, Queer), a space where everyone has breathing room and their own personal space would be a huge stress reliever for all of us.

I'm trying to keep pushing but it's a very step uphill battle with the climbing heat and my autoimmune issues acting up. I've been fighting a pretty heavy depression for over a month now and the stress of this has made it even heavier.

Please even if you can't donate: sharing is the best way to help us because that means more eyes on it who could help.

None of the funds are transfered yet. They're all sitting there until we at least total the 5k which between what's in savings and the donations were a touch over halfway there!!! We need right $2500 and the rest on GFM was for moving costs and paying help since both adults are disabled.

They will not run our credit until AFTER we give them the down payment, which mean we will be unable to get a loan from anywhere because we cannot have any new marks on our credit when it is run.

If we cannot get this money together before the end of the month, we lose the house, entierly. There is no getting it. We lose all these months of work. And we will not be able to fix that.

It is not complete because I definitely need to add older music from the 20s-50s in but I'm having trouble finding things that vibe to me but this is what I got so far.

Many, many people celebrated Pulse. We were told we deserved it. That it was God’s punishment for our sin of loving the same sex. We are sent messages like these I received in 2018:

We in the community often call the victim count 49+ to include the survivors who couldn’t live with the pain.

The event was never officially declared a hate crime or targeted homophobic attack and is rarely listed as one in databases.

At our vigils for those slaughtered, Extremist Christian groups showed up to protest, holding signs like this:

ID: Me kissing a woman I was casually seeing in front of an angry looking man with a “Sodomy is Sin” sign.

Please understand how much more than just a mass shooting this was. We are still to this day harassed and told we deserved it by some.
