However betwixt health issues and all we are in danger of becoming homeless or worse.👽👺👽👹👽🤬😭

I do check in here at Lindaland so please do not think that I have left.
I check in at least a few times a week.
I also check my email for notices of replies but usually the replies are due to Randall kindly doing many bumps ups on my threads.❤️
If anyone replies to my threads it will show up in my email who actually replied to me.👍😎❤️
Really lies in threads not mine do not appear in email notices to me however.

Hopefully our situations here will improve soon.
Then I can get here into Lindaland more often and post much more.

Add in our old computers need replaced and life is often a nightmare these days due to health conditions issues and severe poverty.

Does anyone know how to do a
GO FUND ME thing⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️

Poverty sucks and now city and government people want us to fix our house completely by July this Summer 👽😵🤬😭👽
Like wtf⁉️👽⁉️
Our property at present is not worth much and we simply cannot afford to do as ordered and that could lead to horrible things for us and to have to face 😭👽😭👽😭👽the consequences if ordered repairs are not done by July.

So if anyone has any ideas on how we can get help as we are a totally disabled impoverished household fighting serious issues as cancers and more nasty disabling issues and so we cannot do the work ourselves.

We are looking into more places to try and get help but so many are so called faith based Christian groups and organizations and not joking but very often if they discover people are not Christians then forget getting help.
Maybe not that way everywhere but it seems to be that way here more often than not.

Just like years ago when we went to get married at court house.....we were told that we had to agree to the standard Christian ceremony at the courthouse or could not get married there even though we had our marriage certificate.👽🤬😭

Okay thanks for reading this rant and pleas so far ❤️👍😎

If anyone knows how to remedy our situation please do tell.
We want to fix this place up and sell and move. But cannot do both.
Totally stuck with n bad circumstances and rather terrified to say the least.😵👽

Oh yeah get this....👽👽👽
We are not allowed to sell or give the house away until after all the property is brought up to code which involves repairs that exceed the tax value of the property by as much as 10x times👽👽👽
Or worse yet the seller value of around betwixt 20x or more the tax value.
This is a terrifying situation and our hands are tied tightly.
Feel like the sword of Damocles is hanging over our heads and lives ready to cut us down without wasting ning at any time👽😵

The house value is for taxes not sell value.
On the market it is worth only like $3 to 10 thousand or less.

We would love to move but our hands are tied
by unfair government and city ETCETERA rules and regulations.🤬👽

Okay enough of my griping and whining,

Bless you all❤️

Going to post this at Sweet Peas In The Rain also.

I will not flood the forums with my griping and begging and all.
I will use one thread at hearth and home to continue on this topic.

Please read there from hereon to reply to me and also to alert me to any post or thread which needs a reply from me if asked but I might have missed seeing the request.
Thank you all.
Blessings and Love ❤️❤️❤️
Please pardon any strange autocorrects and weird typos.
Cannot see or type easily.

Though this does seem typical of a City Council employing banal levels of evil and not taking into account the situation you are stuck in.

Maybe this can help in some way, hope so anyhow.

GoFundMe Tutorial for Beginners
http://youtu.be/qhX_NHR4WsU?si=s2f6d5dZv-1tbY6x&t=204

Step 1: Go to the GoFundMe website
Visit the official GoFundMe website by typing http://www.gofundme.com into your web browser's address bar.

Step 2: Sign up or log in
If you already have a GoFundMe account, log in using your email address and password. If you don't have an account yet, click on the "Sign Up" button and follow the instructions to create one. You can sign up using your email address or through your Facebook account.

Step 3: Start a new campaign
Once you're logged in, click on the "Start a GoFundMe" button on the homepage. This will take you to a page where you can start setting up your fundraising campaign.

Step 4: Choose a category
Select the category that best fits the purpose of your campaign. GoFundMe offers categories such as Medical, Education, Emergencies, Memorials, and more. Choose the one that aligns with your fundraising needs.

Step 5: Describe your campaign
Give your campaign a title that clearly explains what you're raising funds for. Then, in the description box, provide more details about your situation, why you need the funds, and how they will be used. Be honest, transparent, and compelling in your description to encourage people to donate.

Step 6: Set a fundraising goal
Decide on the amount of money you want to raise for your campaign. Set a realistic fundraising goal that covers your needs but is also achievable. Keep in mind that GoFundMe charges a small fee for each donation, so factor that into your goal.

Step 7: Add a photo or video
Upload a relevant photo or video to your campaign page. This could be a picture of yourself or the person you're raising funds for, or a video explaining your situation and why you need support. Visual content can help make your campaign more engaging and persuasive.

Step 8: Share your campaign
Once your campaign page is set up, it's time to start sharing it with your friends, family, and social networks. GoFundMe provides tools for sharing your campaign via email, Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms. You can also copy the campaign link and share it directly with people you know.

-=-=-=-

Setting it up doesn't seem too difficult, the hard part is finding donors, but hopefully some folks on LL can help.

Thank you.
Sadly I only have 4 face book friends two are impoverished family and another is to my knowledge also impoverished.

Am not going to join Twitter or anything else.
Am at this time unable to do that.
For online Lindaland nis the only place I intend to keep being involved with.

Facebook barely.
And sites like FB are very hard to see.🕶️

Physically and stamina are shot and do not the and most sadly I do not this will work for us after all👽😭

Our friends have all died.😭😭😭
Many even younger😭

We have no social life in person as we are both severely immunocompromised and cannot be around people safely and both need walkers and braces and even wheelchair transport chairs at this time.
So we stay at home pretty much except for medical reasons.

So in addition to self quarantine we are physically unable to go anywhere and must save our severely limited energy for all medical things.

We have most of our food delivered.
It is a service need we must use.

We are usually unable to actually go into any stores betwixt seizures from the lighting
and being unable to walk to shop and even to use a motorized unit.
More difficult to impossible than most can understand.

Too much to explain.

Ugh.

I was afraid that the go fund me thing might be impossible for us.

I will look into it but seriously we have no in person social life including relatives because of COVID and too many people are anti-vaccers and the faith based organization workers often do not vaccinate🤬🤬🤬 or wear masks👽🤬
Too many we know of aquantences and even family have been hospitalized and too many have even died due to COVID👽😭
So no way do we do visits in or out of our home.

Too dangerous.👽😭

Then the problem of workers to help, how do we get them to wear masks and to prove they are not contagious and have had all 5 COVID shots and flu shots and more⁉️

Would love ❤️👍😎to get a big RV 😎👍 or mobile or portable tiny home ETCETERA, to live in in our driveway until the house if fixed.
Yeah even a big yurt would work temporarily as weather is arms up.👍😎

That would help us to not get infected with anything from multiple workers when or if we find any.

A common old can kill the immunocompromised about like the bubble boy.
We are both severely immune compromised and cannot help that the treatments of DMARDS and targeted cancer ETCETERA therapy and needed various steroidal meds means we are both severely immunocompromised and that is a sad fact that we cannot remedy.😭👽

Hope that eventually I can stop the DMARDS/target cancer infusions and the several other nasty meds,
It sucks when such as we are so must subject ourselves es to so many dangerous but required treatments

Scary desperate times.👽😭

Thank you again and will look into the
go fund me
thing but it looks like it will not help us and we are it appears most likely to not be able to do the whole outreach they need from us.😭👽😭 Not copping out just being realistic.

Hopefully some people will come forward and help who will respect our need for them to not infect us.

With money we could do this and pay to have it all done.😎👍 Money money money sigh it sucks to be deeply impoverished.😭😭😭

If we could just sell and move that is an option we have considered but the city ETCETERA will not allow us to sell or give it away until it is up to an impossible code level we have no way to honor.😭👽🤬
Yet their threats of do it all or else is terrifying👽👽👽

Going to write for some more grants.
So far no one is responding even though we are definitely eligible.
That is the city and government in a nutshell🤬
Threaten people then tell them tough luck pretty much and they are not very understanding.
Hence people living in tents and caves in the nature preserve betwixt north and south side of the city.👽👽👽

Hoping to get some help this weekend but not sure if it is going to work out or not.
How does a household plan and schedule when we are bed down in misery at any given moment without warning⁉️😭👽

On that note going to try and eat again.
So freaking nauseated and weak.

Yes with help to work on things we can get on track enough for the government and city to get off our case.
More ney and help is all we need to make our lives better.👍😎❤️

There are grants and loans we keep applying for.💲💲💲

We keep track of everything we are looking into and who bothers to reply and give us the three quotes on work needed done.
Yeah three quotes but are replying or answering their phones yet👽🤬

So we keep track of all our efforts and keep turning that information over to the city ETCETERA hoping to buy us time until at least November not freaking July 🤬👽

Yeah I am totally freaking out stressed out babbling again, sorry .
This is so damn embarrassing and humiliating today the last adt👽😭

And yes
We will look into the go fund me site ETCETERA but doubt it will halp us.
Thank you for giving the link.👍

Also sounds crazy but even going to see if the television show
THIS OLD HOUSE
would be willing to give us help and do the whole house ETCETERA if we agree to let them put it all on television.
Ugh hate that being exposed to social stress and potential infections but must look into all possibilities no matter how crazy they seem.

Once house is fixed we can then get treadmill and other rehabilitation things and handicapped items rails etc installed.👍❤️

Assuming there are reliable programs for such things.
But I he waiting lists are long.
Like one old guy needed a new toilet but in over 18 months no agency will help him and so he uses a bucket to go in.
Yes long waiting lists and folks get evicted and homes condemned instead of getting the needed halp.
Or the city and government just wait and hope we all die off.🤬👽😭

Sigh the city wants ramps but due to my strange collapsed spine condition and flat semi club feet and all, I cannot do ramps. And my spouse cannot wheel me up and down on such.
They also demand standard rail height which will not work for me and standard stair steps risers all up to code which are okay with most physically disabled people but not me due to many rare restrictions.

Oh my gone a babbling again,👽

I am embarrassed and feel weird and whiney posting my woes here but
seriously Lindaland 👍😎❤️is pretty much my social life and has been since 2005 and since then all our friends have died another just a month ago.😭

Okay off again...
Thank you lei_Kuei very much😎👍❤️
Your input is appreciated👍

Pardon as usual any strange autocorrects and creepy typos .
I cannot type or see well.

Thank to toxic drops the CDC recalled really messed me up bad. And a jerk doctor who did not properly test or treat me😭🤬

Anyhow take care and bless you Lei kuei 👍😎❤️

We also need to be able to fix the house up, and I hate that we haven’t been able to do it for ourselves, but we have to if dad wants to sell it (and he’s been talking about that). There is no way that our house is worth the new estimated selling price.

But do not see how it would work for us.

I am expecting a miracle but do not sense it coming before our lives go totally beyond the hell we are already struggling to survive in.

We are not allowed to sell or give it away until it is brought up to code,👽🤬

The cost to bring it up to code as I explained in my reply to Lei_Kuei
far exceeds the sell value of betwixt 3 and 10 thousand dollars..
It would need about $40,000 just to repair cosmetically outside and fake it and over $100,000!to do it all out n and outside by the book.
That is simply impossible so we are stuck for now and do not know how To realistically escape this nightmarish dilemma.
Even the cost quoted
to take down old damaged trees is horrible with a quoted cost of $4,000 or more😵👽🤬
That is about a fourth of our yearly income and just for felling the trees they want felled.👽😵🤬

We were working on writing for grants ETCETERA but need more time.
The July deadline the city demands is totally unrealistically insane and illogical👽🤬😵
Trying to get city to back off until at least November.

Just have to keep trying.
But the other options of jail or worse are not acceptable.
The city does not care.
That is why there are people and families living in shanties and tents and even caves in the nature preserve.
Very cold places to live in in snowy cold winters.
And the city tries to evict people from there too👽👽👽

Hope the grants for free help and materials will come true.👍🕶️
We are writing for more and looking into every option possible.

It is so damn hard when we are both suffering
physically and expected to jump to like not disabled people.
👽😭

Which I know doesn't really suit your situation going by what you said.

How the City expects people to randomly pull 40-100k out of a hat for stuff like this is crazy...

Are they actually fully aware of your Medical Status, is there anyone in the City Council you could write to or talk with?

This is one reason why there are so many homeless folks even families living in various nature preserves and old abandoned factories etcetera.

Options when folks are not able to do anything the city demands is to fine and jail and also split couples especially elderly and disabled folks , or families up by putting the disabled and or elderly into separate rests homes which most considered as being the waiting to die places or worse as many have terrible conditions and take all of a persons rights away and even far worse things mot listing here.
Other things are to condemn ones home and take it without paying for it and shove people into sectional 8 apartments in places known for having much crime, crackheads, murder, rape, arson. Drive by shootings. Assaults and more.and and in horrible neighborhoods.
Before moving into our home in 2002 I was attacked more than once. Broke ribs and more running from a gun pointing running screaming crack head who claimed I had sent a werewolf into her shower. 👽😳🤬 Was assaulted in many other ways, and our vehicle too. Also the terror of repeatedly drive by bullets going right through into our apartment and more scary things.
And the police would just say move there is nothing they can do.🤬👽😳
So nope,
the city does not give a damn they only pretend to care by sending people out to ascertain how to make people leave their home or else take away all their person rights and property, invaded ng their privacy if they do not repair as they were commanded.

We need extra time to try and at least until November not July.
We are keeping in touch with the city people to keep on showing how we are trying but can only document our work trying to get help. Then prove to the city that no one is even answering their phones and also are too expensive.

We are still writing for free money grants.

We are suppose to get a cash settlement from my husband's mother's estate but that can easily take years even several years to get all done with probate.

No wat will it be here by this July.👽😭
Also the amount would still not be enough to do all the city demands and the temporary income boost could make the government take away our medical benefits and food stamps and more things we get for being poor disabled and elderly.

So it is a no win situation unless we're are allowed to wait until at least November not freaky by July.

We are writing grants and have a few faith based optics for handymen ETCETERA but they are very backed up and the waiting lists are months to years long for help from such places.
And people in their churches get help first as a general practice.
One old guy as I said lived for years without a toilet and they still never helped him that last I heard about it.

Trying to hold on as best we can.
Hoping the government grants or even the television show
THIS OLD HOUSE
will help us out.

Wish us good luck💙😎👍

Pardon any typos and or strange autocorrects.

An example here at Lindaland is poor Mirage😭😭😭

Being homeless or forced out of ones home sucks and often there is nothing that can be done easily at all 👽👽👽😭😭😭

PPS
Went through and fixed dozens of strange autocorrects and creepy typos.

Hopefully it will all work out.
It was extremely tiring but it was a good planning stage and visit ❤️👍😎

Totally worn out and going to go to bed soon.
But a productive afternoon nevertheless 😎👍

Of course we will still have to find people to do work they might not know how to do but hey things might be off to a great start hopefully👍😎

Too bad that visit left us very ill worn out and maybe we both caught a bug😭

That is what immunocompromised is like to try and live with😵🤮👽

So we both have been vomiting since Saturday evening and in much physical distress within several hours after the two hour visit.😭😫🤮

On that note going back to bed betwixt vomit and gut agony bathroom trips.😭
My spouse has been bed bound for most of Sunday and Monday so far as have I.😭😫🤮

Just have to take things one at a time one moment at a time.

So freaking exhausting to say the least.

Well at least there is now hopefully some remedy for our situation.😎👍❤️

Okay going back down😴😪🛌😫😭🤮😴
