Story
My client is a 34-year-old disabled man who is currently navigating a major life transition following the recent loss of his mother. Having lived in the family home with her until her passing, he is now adjusting to independent living in a rented room shared with roommates. This shift has brought both emotional and physical challenges, and he is doing his best to adapt with dignity and resilience. He lives with chronic health conditions that cause excessive sweating, persistent pain, and strong body odor—especially at night. These symptoms often disrupt his sleep and cause him to worry about the impact on those he now lives with. He has shared his concern about being off-putting to his roommates, despite doing everything he can to manage these conditions. To support his comfort, confidence, and continued stability in this new living situation, we are seeking assistance with comfort/ sleep support, room freshening supplies, clothing, which have been requested in a separate Care Portal request. We are also requesting a Walmart gift card to assist with food and necessities, as my client is on a very limited income. We do request Walmart specifically due to my client's location and limited means to transportation. This individual is doing everything in his power to move forward after a profound loss. With a little support, he can live more comfortably, maintain harmony in his shared space, and continue to grow in his independence. Thank you for considering this request.
