#dv support

Basics: My mom and I are Homeless. We both have arthritis, she has chronic bronchitis and I have an autoimmune disorder. We need to stay in out of the cold. There are no homeless shelters or aid organizations in this area, it's the rural, conservative, asscrack of California and they just arrest the Homeless.

Fun new complications: because of the proximity to LA and relative "affordability" of the area we're getting a lot of fire evacuees and the corporate hotels are raising prices.

Current situation: Tonight is the last night we have paid for and because of their corporate policy on the length of stays we have to get out tomorrow either way. We've been crashing at my sisters for a night or two when this type of thing happened before but her landlords been an asshole about it and is threatening to evict her and her kids again even without us there.

What we need: A couple hundred dollars to get us into a different hotel room.

I understand that life is hard for everyone so if you cant help please dont feel bad about that but please do reblog this so hopefully it will cross the dash of someone who can help. Please remember that every little bit helps and even a kind thought and a reblog would be amazing right now.

Please for the love of everything give us any money to get out of here.

If we can get a couple thousand dollars together we can get out of California and stay with my aunt in Oregon but even $100 for one night in a hotel would be anything

Back to Work…

Over the holidays, a friend of mine reported her sister missing. The day after Christmas, she was found murdered in her car. She had been the victim of a violent boyfriend she was trying to leave. This story touched me in ways I cannot adequately express. It has inspired this poem and I hope these words will help some one out there that is dealing with domestic violence or mental abuse.
