Rebuilding Tzipora

In early 2022 a cascade of horrible events took my already difficult & challenging life and ripped it apart at the seams. I lost just about everything but my cat and was displaced from my beloved city of Chicago to Ann Arbor, MI. It’s now mid-2024 and I am still struggling to gain any sort of foothold or stability, to regain things I’ve lost, or find any way forward. I’m still stuck, largely alone, scared, unable to get help or my needs met to find stability. I’m in an unsustainable situation living in a hotel with a rental car- basically short term survival attempts have rolled into this sticking point I’m unable to get out of.

This is the story of how I found myself here.

Over 2 years later and I am still struggling and finances have gotten worse, my circumstances getting harder. It’s time to get back to Chicago. I’ve put incredible efforts on my own personal healing and mental and emotional well-being but I cannot seem to make much progress outwardly. I know we all want to believe there’s help and assistance and surely those things must be out there for a person like me especially but the many unique aspects of my circumstances and sheer amount and variety of my needs have hamstrung me at every turn. At this point I don’t believe any particular org is going to be the answer and it’s on me to cobble together any and all help I can find. This website is my attempt to get my story and needs out there and to try to gain whatever I can, to survive and ultimately thrive. I have overcome the impossible many times in my life but this time I can’t do it alone.
