About to be homeless and hungry
I am a disabled Minnesotan living in Minneapolis. I live with my partner, who is also my PCA. We have a cat.
The Department of Human Services has suspended pay for all PCAs across the state. The Department of Agriculture has cut off all funds to the state. Oz has threatened to cut all Medicaid funds to the state.
I am on SNAP. I am on Medicaid. We rely on my partner's paycheck to live, because SSDI does not give enough money for one person to live off of, let alone two people plus a cat.
We are not going to be able to pay our rent. We are not going to be able to afford food. We are not going to be able to afford heat or electricity or water in the middle of the Minnesota winter. I require a hospital bed and my power wheelchair, I can't just go survive on the streets or live in a shelter.
On top of all of this, my mother is about to be homeless because her landlord wants to sell the property, so she isn't in a position to help shelter us. She's in just a bad of a situation as we are.
My entire life has just been pulled out from under me. I can't even think straight anymore. This is too much.
What do I do???
