HIV friendly housing
Posted: Sat Dec 17, 2022 5:48 am
Hello,
My name is Lonnie, I live in a house with my roommate who is the homeowner and has HIV. I have lived here going in 20 years. In that 20 years I lived here we have never had the central air conditioning in working order. We both have a small window unit in our bedrooms, mine is a little 5000 BYU one I bought from Walmart going on 10 + years ago. If it were up to me I would of done everything in my power to get the central air fixed, but it’s not in my power. My roommate and homeowner has made 0 effort to get it repaired and I think the reason is he doesn’t want to have to deal with the electric bills when they come.
But, I don’t have any option to move, I was diagnosed with systemic heart failure in March of 2021 due to the HIV. David my roommate almost died from complications of the HIV virus. Neither one of us should have to endure this heat. I get Medicaid for my Heath problems and he has financial help with his through the effort for aids organization I believe. I can’t apply for any financial assistance I’m assuming to get the air conditioning replaced or help with the electric bills because I don’t own this house. I’ve never reached out to anyone before, I’ve always just got myself though it but with my heart condition I’m not willing to go through this anymore. The heat is too much for me to bear. If kind people donate money to organizations wanting to help people that really need it then here I am! Please help with guidance or anything to get through all the Red tape so I can live in peace. And that’s all I’m asking, to just live normally in a house that doesn’t feel like I’m waking into an actual oven.
Sincerely,
