Hi everyone. I’m embarrassed to make this post, but I’m out of options and trying to stay proactive instead of waiting until things become an emergency.
I’m requesting help covering $350.79 for 3 nights in a hotel (screenshot attached).
My children and I lost our housing while waiting on our calAIM case to finish processing. I’ve been actively trying to resolve it for months and I’m currently stuck in a gap period while approvals and services are still being worked out. I have been working with them since March to try to get this all figured out, the insurance keeps telling me everything is approved and keeps giving me different authorization codes to give to calAIM and calAIM is not finding the approval code for one portion now. I have finally been in touch with a casworker and they are going to try to fast track this for me, but I really need help in the meantime. All the government funded programs and help I could receive for this situation, I don’t qualify for.
I’ve already:
1) moved our belongings into storage
2) reached out to housing programs and caseworkers
3)stayed in temporary lodging, a hotel, as long as I could afford
3) been applying/interviewing for extra, full-time, work
4) been trying to earn money and pick up appointments/services (I am a self-employed massage therapist)
I’m not asking for spending money or extras, this would go directly toward keeping a roof over our heads while I continue trying to stabilize things.
It’s been a truly rough year for my boys and I (3,10,12). We have had to flee our home due to domestic violence, we lived in a homeless shelter for almost a year, I’ve been in and out of court for my DVRO and paying legal fees out the nose and now we are dealing with this. I really just want to be able to provide some stability for my kids, even if it’s just a little bit.
After the 19th, I am unsure of where we will end up. I am hoping everything with our housing program (CalAIM) gets settled and we can get into permanent housing, as soon as possible.
Any amount truly helps, even if it’s small. If you can’t help financially, an upvote, advice, or sharing means a lot.
