I’m homeless again. The last several years have been a real bitch. Survival Mode has been pretty much a constant.
I have been barely supporting myself over the last few years with the occasional full time job as well as doing furniture assembly and pet sitting through TaskRabbit.
But TaskRabbit has all but dried up for many of us. There are a few reasons for this, but this is neither the time nor place to go into that.
I am struggling to find remote work. I’m looking for remote work because it’ll be better on my mental and physical health. No commute, etc. I am autistic and have C-PTSD. Full time work will be more productive for me if remote.
I am currently houseless and staying in a motel where there are a multitude of restrictions. One of which is where I would have to lock my cat in a kennel if I’m not home when they hold their inspections and when housekeeping comes through. I would get written up. So, I need to stay home in the mornings. A remote job would be better for me overall.
But until I find one, I need a bit of help. I have two storage units in two different facilities. They are both behind in rent. I also need to combine them by removing everything in the smaller unit and move it to the bigger one, which is cleaner and safer. I will need to get caught up on the rent for both. One is currently sitting at $700 and the other is $100. Any extra will go to renting a trailer or van to move the stuff in the smaller unit.
The rent for the bigger unit at Extra Space is roughly $260/mo. This is two months of rent plus late fees. Then the other unit at Public Storage is roughly $75, with late fees. They’re more brutal about late fees, liens, and auction.
My whole life is in those two units. Please help me save them.
Thank you.
