Update - Need Help After a Break-In
10 months ago
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share something really upsetting that happened yesterday afternoon. While I was taking a nap, someone broke into my house. They climbed over the fence, got in through the backdoor (which my roommate accidentally left unlocked), and managed to grab my phone off the table in my room.
As some of you already know, about a month ago there was an attempted break-in here in the middle of the night. I reported it back then too, but the police told me this incident isn’t connected. Even so, it’s hard not to feel like my sense of safety has been completely shattered.
I was completely unaware of what was happening yesterday since I was asleep, and my room wasn’t locked either. Thankfully, the guy didn’t stick around for long because my roommate came home and scared him off. I’ve already contacted the police, but they weren’t much help again—they just told me to file a report and try claiming insurance. Unfortunately, the insurance payout won’t cover much since my phone was an iPhone 13.
Right now, I’m feeling pretty shaken up. I’ve got two of my cousins staying over to help me feel safer, but I still feel violated and nervous. On top of that, I’ve been dealing with medical bills, so things are extra tight financially. I really need to get a second-hand phone in the meantime, but I can’t afford it without some help.
If anyone would like to commission me or even send a few dollars my way, it would mean the world to me right now. Anything helps, truly, and I appreciate any support more than I can say. It’s a way for me to make up the extra money I need and also something to focus on while I process everything.
Thank you so much for reading and for all your support—it seriously means so much right now.

I mean, one way to look at it is even though it's been tough, the fact that you're relying on yourself so much, in addition to all this terrible shit happening, and that even after all of that you're STILL doing what you need/want to do every day, should tell you that it may be tough, but perhaps, you're *tougher*
Just a thought
so I just got a taser and pepper spray and a nuckleduster I keep on me 24/7
