Hi, my name is Hanna and I've come her asking for help for me and my family. My aunt had a leg amputated earlier this year and since then we have been evicted from are home through no fault of our own and now, we are living in a garden shed on our grandfather's land. we would use any money we get to move to a real house . Our grandfather has refused to help us for any reason and people we thought where friends aren't. My mother is the only one with a job bringing in any money and she has been running herself ragged this week is the first time she has had off in two weeks. We are all so much thinner since moving out her as we have to buy groceries every week when we used to get stuff from the food bank. Me and my aunt have both been looking for an online job with no luck so far. We feel stuck and hopeless that we will never get out of this situation. Any help anyone can give would be appreciated and help tremendously. We also have several dogs to think about in this situation as well. I feel like a prisoner in my own home I'm not allowed to leave during the week because I have to watch over the dogs. I fear for my aunt and mothers' health if this is allowed to continue. It looks like we will have to skip Christmas for the second year in a row for the first time in my life that I can think of right now. We are trying to save 5,000 for the house. We have no extra money to save for our goals and dreams. We are entering sweepstakes and buying scratch off tickets to try to save and get any sort of money we can. We have to shower with the garden hose out in the yard and buy bottled water to drink and use in cooking. Are dogs are only let out two times a day in the morning and night if we are lucky. The yard space they have is the size of a hallway if not smaller. Since my aunt uses a wheelchair to get around getting outside takes up to 30 minutes or an hour, there is a large hole in the floor in the shed that we have to cover with a board not to break an ankle. Once my aunt is actually outside it's no better as my grandfather's yard is all sand and dirt with small rocks not the best for a wheelchair. There is a single washing machine we can use but my grandfather has a lot of rules about using it on the weekends or when Mom has a day off. My grandfather is nicer to strangers and animals then he is to us he routinely calls us useless me and my aunt for not having jobs and is angry at my mother because she makes more money then him even though he is retired and mom is supporting three people plus all of the dogs here. Life has not been kind to us these past three years.
