Marvin the Depressed Robot [1]

I am a huge fan of the late, great Douglas Adams. My favorite character is Marvin the depressed robot. "Life. Don't talk to me about life. " Yeah Marvin I know what you mean.
On January 15, 2022 my life shattered. I had been a caregiver for my brother Reid for 12 long and often frustrating years. On that day I spent 8 hours holding his hand until he died. I had them turn off the machines keeping him alive. It was his time and I let him go.
I was forced out of the apartment I had worked so hard on to make a warm and loving home for Reid, Pixie and myself. I had to take a second floor studio with a roach problem. I have had to store most of my stuff in a second storage shed. I haven't unpacked although I hope to do that this week.
Without Reid's income I am below poverty level. The government screwed up and took away my SNAP. After I pay everything I have $70.00 left over for food and medicine for the month.
This community has helped me so much. I hate to ask but I need some help again. The high cost of utilities has wiped me out. I spent every cent of an art sale on food. A friend keeps Pixie in food for me. I could really use $350.00 to get me through the next couple of months.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me so much during the years. I'll try to be more upbeat the next time I post.
