T-Minus One Month, Please Help and Signal Boost/Vouch

Hey guys, I'm once again in a spot where I'm doing a big detailed post about this and sharing it to my sideblogs. I'm not a fan of this but the situation is pretty dire. Frankly, it has been pretty dire for a while, and I've only gotten this far thanks to the support from both you guys and from some friends who have been willing to lend me money without much clue when they'll get it back. I'm deeply thankful for everything so far, but I have unfortunately only really been able to use all of that to make ends meet instead of having much savings built up like I was hoping to right now.

I have 30 days and any amount of help makes a huge difference.

So back in February I found out my apartment was choosing not to renew my lease at the end of July for questionable but not technically illegal reasons and I have been scrambling to find a new apartment since without much luck. Whether I manage to find a place or have to head to a motel/airbnb for a bit, I need to move my things to... somewhere. I am disabled and unable to drive myself or even have a parking spot to put a POD into so I don't have a choice besides hiring a professional moving service, and that's scaring the fuck out of me right now. I also am still working to just afford boxes to pack everything. This is all before even considering paying rent/deposit/application fees at a new place.

So why have I had trouble saving up when I've had almost half a year? I work 15-25 hours a week in a factory doing fairly heavy labor, and while in theory I could do a solid 40 a week and everything would be rainbows and flowers forever, in practice this just hasn't been possible; my mental health and physical health just aren't up to it. Summer has been particularly hard because I'm in the midwest US and the warehouse I work in does not have air conditioning. In reality, the most I can handle is about 30 hours a week when everything is perfect, and it's rarely been perfect these past few months between the massive stress of this situation, stress from other life issues, and more recently the heat. I'm usually dismayed and exhausted.

That sounds like someone who should be on disability, right? Unfortunately, even being able to work as much as I'm able to has previously gotten me the response of "suck it up" from the government. Things have recently started to change for autistic people in that respect in the US... at the price of being put on a national registry, while our leaders are actively building prisons that feel oddly similar to concentration camps. That's a price to my future I desperately do not want to pay, and a process that tends to take years to see any fruit even if I did.

I've offered to write at very low rates to offer something in exchange for help and received zero interest - an understandable but difficult hit to the heart on top of everything right now. Attempts to find clerical work or something else less exhausting that still pays even close to as much as I'm making right now IRL have been just as fruitless. I have also been selling things on ebay to both help me get by and to have less to move with, but again that inventory only moves so fast and I only have to much energy.

My friends are still helping me, but I'm also here asking for additional help from the community around me one last time because there's only so much they can do and even if their wasn't I want to make this easier for them. I'm trying to be able to afford to pack my things and move them out of the apartment at the end of the month first and foremost.

Again, I'm sorry to share this friggin everywhere. I hope you all can forgive me for it. I'm scared and doing what I can.
