I need help 😞 Most of you know this but I’m a single father to my autistic son, Luca. His mom isn’t in the picture so it’s just Luca and me and we are about to be evicted due to not making rent and we will be homeless.
Idaho used to have a program called parents as caregivers and this allowed me to be Luca’s official paid caregiver which was my only way of supporting us between that and Uber Eats. I do Uber Eats because it’s the only thing I can do while having him with me. Well, Idaho ended the parents as caregivers program so I’ve had to rely solely on Uber Eats. We tried to find a caregiver for him but there just aren’t any, which is why the parents as caregivers program existed to begin with.
I have to take him to school, pick him up from school, take him therapy, pick him up from therapy, and be available to take care of him when he’s out of school. This means I can only work a normal job during the hours he is in school. I have him enrolled in the afterschool program but it’s still not enough and not many places are willing to work with my schedule and periods where Luca has school breaks like spring break and summer. I don’t know how I’m supposed to make a living while also being the only person who can care for my son. I’m currently a job coach for people with disabilities but again, it’s only during hours Luca is in school.
On top of this, my father is in the hospital in critical condition and I’m praying for his recovery, my birthday is on the 19th and I don’t even want to celebrate it, and Luca and I are getting evicted the day after my birthday unless we can somehow come up with the rent we owe. I’m confident I could stay afloat if I can just catch up on what I’m behind on and save our home. But I don’t think saving it is possible unless by the grace of god some miracle happens 💔
Au Gabon j'avais l'habitude du profilage racial en tant que métis afro-descendant on m'a tjrs vu comme un blanc. C'est connu voir classique. En France, je déguste tjrs autant de contrôles au faciès mais cette fois-ci personne ne me croit, comme si je voyais le mal partout 😅
