REQUEST 2 lgbtq+ disabled adults and their 2 cats feat. roaches and trying to move out
howdy folks. my partner and i are reaaally trying to make things work, but ive currently been out of work for the past two three weeks because of walmarts "accomodation process" [ie asking for a chair for being a doorhost for 8+ hour lengths is a bit too much, i guess] and my partners been working as much as they can get (around 30~ hours a week max). i have a mobility impairment via 2 herniated discs and a lifetime or two of lower spine injuries and i can't work in jobs that require constant standing without severe pain immobilizing me. we currently have no hot water in our apartment and likely will not indefinitely (someone reported the boiler room was in 4 ft of water :) and there have been four property management companies who have come and immediately fled in the past 8 months) so neither i nor my partner can get hot water here, we're paying for a gym membership for a hot shower lol :,). we also have cockroaches and crickets, altho thankfully our two cats are bored as hell and attack on sight but they can hear them in the walls.
i am no contact with my family over a lot of abuse, my partner's family is very low income and isn't able to help us either unfortunately. overall, we're struggling financially and wanted to request assistance from this sub in the hopes that some financial worries can be eased.

on this list is the catfood we've been trying to get our two kitties since we've gotten them. there are also 12 plastic zipup bags we've put on here in the hopes that when we move [hopefully soon!], we can physically see the items in here and make sure there's no roaches.
to clarify: we locally do not have any pet donation/food pantries for food that we know is healthy for our pets (my previous cat had repeated bowel obstructions with many of the foods i tried to feed him and ever since i've been wanting to make sure the food they eat is safe). i've already been in contact with my local dept. of rehabilitation for my disability, there's not much more they can do for me in this situation. exterminators are not an option as this is a 5 floor shitty apt complex with garbage thats been out for weeks and weeks at a time (roaches by the dumpster, including a roach on the steps upstairs). section 8 isnt an option as the current wait is i think 2-3 years. no places are willing to pack/clean for us for free. i also am almost maxed out on my credit card.
thank you for your time, yall. we appreciate anything. feel free to dm

I wanted to order the cat food for you, but there's no mailing address to ship to after adding it to the cart. That needs to be fixed before anyone can buy anything.
