Long story short:

I was the caretaker for my Great Aunt and had been dealing with a bed bug infestation that she was refusing to get rid of due to Alzheimer’s. Unfortunately, I became very ill and bed bound and this provoked my Great Aunt into physical aggression mixed with fully meant threats of throwing me out/throwing out all of my stuff if I went to the hospital for treatment. I held out as long as I could, but, unfortunately, I had to go to the hospital. As a result, I found out I have Autoimmune Hepatitis/was in liver failure, became homeless, and have had to go to a homeless shelter. I have to walk with a cane and can’t go very far.

I haven’t worked in years because Covid gave me heart failure issues. Disability applications take years to process. I was my Great Aunt’s caretaker in return for her letting me live with her. I have no money of my own.

My phone is glitchy and fussy, so I can’t really use it to apply for jobs or benefits. The laptop I owned has been thrown out. I can’t physically travel to get to a library for computer access. The shelter resources are touch and go because no one answers you or the aid doesn’t exist. I’m not joking when I say this. I’ve been here for a couple days and have neither a blanket nor pillow because they ran out 5 days ago.

Is there a charity that someone can recommend? I just need a laptop capable of surfing web and writing documents without stuttering every 5 seconds.
