Housing Can Be Challenging!!! For Anyone!
I never knew that finding housing for a family can and is very difficult as well as challenging... I mean I am very thankful that a friend open their home for us (a year on Nov. 1st) but, no one was aware of the conditions that it is in..
It is a mobile home that threw out the years have taken a toll especially also living by the railroad tracks, has caused it to shift which in turn has caused numerous leaks in the roof and walls. (Anyone that has lived in the Upstate also is very aware of how much it has rained, leaving little time to do any thing)..
Because of these leaks, especially since it has stopped raining... Now shows how much the home has become alive... With a vengeance of once just being spots of mold.. Now when you walk in the mildew smell can overwhelm you. And every little insect has found a home within my home..
Of course, resulting in continuously using over the counter medications to try to keep your allergies at bay, Tylenol for headaches, Nebulizer for breathing, Eye drops for wanting to dig your eyes out because you can't stop scratching them, and anything else to help your body feel somewhat normal...
I don't understand why it seems to be so hard for us to move somewhere.. The housing market is extremely high leaving it as a matter if fact of leaving anyone and everyone from moving anywhere.. Even if you have people that have allergies or myself with an auto immune problems...
I have called on places, drove around trying to locate a place and even talked to people.. Everyone says the same thing you need to get out of where you are living... Yet, how can I when there isn't any place that I can find..
If it was just my health I wouldn't be so frustrated.. I know I'm not a healthy person and probably will die young... But when I see now for weeks my sons health go down hill.... Causes me to be frustrated and upset that I feel as though we are trapped in a home that is very unsafe... But the stereotype says that I am lazy or poor. However, that is far from the truth.. I am however just an average family mom that is trying to make ends meet..
Yes... I am thankful that I have a roof over my head.. Unlike many Americans today. I am just worried that one day that the health condition will take over...
This is my truth today.
