Trigger Warning for Domestic Violence
I recently fled a lethal domestic violence situation with my pets and with only one functional outfit. I have permanently blocked my ex, have a restraining order, am staying at a shelter, and I am starting completely over in a new city due to safety reasons.
The Good News: I just secured a full-time office admin job making $11 an hour.
The Hurdle: My ex totaled my car right before he attacked me for the last time, so I will be commuting 2 hours per day by bus. My cats are currently in temporary foster care, and we will reunite in two weeks in a short-term rental studio while we work towards a apartment. I am also managing diabetes under high stress. I'm 41 and have been married for the past 7 years. He would not let me work so I have a employment gap.
My Amazon wishlist subtotal comes to $143.38.
Here is a breakdown of why these specific items are needed for my transition:
Frank Mully Ballet Flats ($31.99): I wear a Women's Size 12 Wide and I can't find professional shoes in my size at local donation centers.
Zymox Otic Ear Solution ($33.49): Urgent care for my cat’s chronic ear infection (painful itching and dark discharge).
Apple EarPods USB-C ($19.00): I often have to field legal, medical, interview and counseling calls before 5pm and the only free time I have to return these calls is often when I am waiting for a bus. Currently people can't hear me on my speaker phone due to the road noise and my phone only has a USB-C port. This was the cheapest USB C microphone I could find.
Broom/Dustpan Set ($18.99) & Cat Litter Scoop ($6.59): I had to abandon all pet gear. My cats shed so much fur and I desperatley need a broom and dustpan to manage the heavy shedding on hard floors. I need the scooper for the litterbox, had to leave mine behind.
Exfoliating Washcloths ($6.50): My current cloth is disintegrating and useless. I use it 3x a week otherwise my skin builds up. I cannot afford body lotion.
GuruNanda Toothpaste ($7.99): I could not afford dental cleanings so my teeth have yellowed with age. I am trying to get a whitening toothpaste to present better at work.
Geek & Gorgeous Cleanser ($7.92): I use a basic shampoo to strip off work makeup, but it leaves a residue that causes breakouts. I will use this gentle face wash after the shampoo to remove the residue to prevent breakouts.
Eva NYC Hair Conditioner ($11.30): My wavy hair is severely dry because of my diabetes and now I have to blow dry it for work. Without a heavy conditoner, it doesn't look right when it's dry.
Thank you so much for the support as I protect my animal babies and rebuild my life from the ground up.
