Living in a U-Haul

Post by Travis Cult »

Hello, my name is Zeanthia and I need your help please. My husband and I live in the back of a U-Haul. if you could please help me. My husband and I were evicted from our home in December last year. We lost everything. I barely made enough money for a small U-Haul and a storage unit but I haven't had the proper health to restore a job to cover this or next months rent but that is sadly not priority. But if there are any resources that you could please help us find to get out of living in the U-Haul, that also could be helped and beyond greatly appreciated.
My main concern is that we haven't a home, as evicted and the U-Haul is what we have. I have no friends, I lost my job as a caregiver for my mother while I was pregnant with our first daughter and I have not had proper restoration in health to regain employment. My husband suffers from severe head impact trauma and at this time he also can not work.
I keep him close but he gets lost sometimes and finding I am to bare child again so soon, explains how I can't search for him on foot anywhere he could go. I have never learned to drive and rides from anyone is not an option.
This is a major emergency to me and my life. From bread winner to needing bread and struggling to dry are very different. I have been sleeping in doorways and benches in shifts with my husband. I cannot ask for help from my family because I was the one to take care of them. My only other family is my sister and she would help but can't, not financially or to house us both. I refuse to leave my husband alone or to be alone as it is not safe for either of us. We live in Aberdeen, WA and the streets here are not for anyone but I especially am not doing well.
I have spoke with, met with, tried programs, but funding and connection for my emergent needs are in line or ignored it seems as the demand is so high. I am on the mission to be safe, honest and try to be understood for immediate assistance as we are both disabled, our tent was stolen having left it same time for word of housing that could only permit me denying fit his also dire need. Our things a too heavy and I am melting down seemingly begging for help or voucher or food or assistance on a land like sea with others also calling out.

I am beyond miserable living in this U-Haul. Everyone on the streets could be miserable but experiencing this wet, cold reality and the fear of dangerous people and dying out here are taking a toll. Joined with my previous post pardom depression and compromised health, I am devastated and my husband can't breathe through his nose at the time of now as I type this and he struggles to take his rest before dark. Being in a position where you are exposed to resources, I message this plea to hopefully be read and have my case be taken into account and have it be taken in to please help us if helping is what anyone who reads this could do.
Reaching out to as many people as possible has been a long process but I am still trying. If whomever reads this with the power you have to have access to this email, you may have access by great bounds to resources, people, agencies, vouchers and any help us possibilities. Do to our circumstances, our children live with close family and are free of the burden of homelessness, so to help would be for two adults. We both struggle with health issues including a head injury and a second trimester pregnancy. We both need crucial emergent understanding and consideration if funding anywhere is to help vulnerable people.

Keeping our family together, moving out of the back of the U-Haul, is our main priority next to staying as dry as possible and eating on a regular healthy basis.
This message is long but it says what I request to acquire the help we need. I ask whomever could share my inquiry and urgency to anyone who could help, it would be greatly appreciated and be exactly what such funding would be most beneficial for. All and anything from collecting replacement supplies like two durable backpacks, batteries, lanterns, tarps, water resistant/repellent spray, candles, propane, two bowls, one pot, one pan, medium water container, two water purification options and two sleeping bags. We've lost everything we had left trying to understand living on the streets, the the U-Haul, but we've learned and are in crucial emergent need to acquire donations or new supplies.
This message was/IS for a motel voucher. I am not doing okay at all and I am losing abilities of maintenance and strength. My husband is showing signs of a cold and I must try to prevent it's acceleration. I am begging for help at this point in a way my previous calls for help were in fear in crisis and now I am further consumed by experience of our crisis. It is detrimental to our health and our restoration that we find safe, reliable resources to help us with a crisis control and remedy mindset.
The site said motel vouchers were available possibly to get us a place that is warm and safe, as I am sure you can imagine a U-Haul is not it. I have tried many options and have yet to be seen as qualifying and I don't know how else but being currently in dire need to become eligible. If I can get us out of the weather we could regroup and not regress. I personally am declining rapidly and my husband, so strong, is denying showing signs of physical and mental fatigue. We have to help each other and reaching out where I can is what I am able to do.
Please help us. The soonest this is read and if you could please take us seriously as the reality for us is in active emergency, current dilemma, ultra cold, constantly unable to get dry or stay dry, lacking proper equipment and in need of an ability to regain strength. This is very real to us, I hope so much I've been trying to express this to the right email box. I am not computer savvy so navigation through not applicable or many other things has been difficult.
Please reach me as soon as possible. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, Zeanthia
Anya

Do you have anyone that helps if you make more than the income limit. I am single and went from working 3 jobs being homeless, living in a U-Haul due to domestic violence and was able to finally get my own one bedroom apartment from the U-Haul. 2 weeks ago my radiator got a hole in it and I used what little money I had plus a payday loan to get my car fixed. I used most of my savings on deposits and storage plus a uhaul for moving and my electric gets cut off on the 10th because I got behind. I have been trying to get help but no luck so far and don't want to go back to living in the U-Haul Please let me know if you have any resources. Thanks,
