I& #39;m absolutely terrified of traveling in a pandemic but I feel like we& #39;re gonna be to get out of here. It makes no sense to be paying nearly a grand in rent when Lynn can& #39;t work after the accident and lost her job due to the pandemic anyways. 1/10
Even if we can get disability for her the money BC gives for that will not be enough for rent and I can& #39;t imagine applications for disability going smoothly during the pandemic. I& #39;m worried if we try and stay in this apartment out of complacency we& #39;ll end up homeless. 2/10
What she needs right now, what we both need, is someone to help take care of us until we& #39;re healthy and there is no one here to do that for her in Vancouver. I don& #39;t expect friends to make that sacrifice, mind you, but family is unwilling as well. 3/10
My mom turned 60 in July but honestly she& #39;s a better bet right now. Reality is, when Lynn& #39;s EI runs out then there& #39;s not even a reason to be in Canada necessarily except to avoid the immediate fires in the US but also it drives her crazy not being on the front line. 4/10
I don& #39;t like being caught between a rock and a hard place here. We already are gonna need a lot of help until the 15th and my mom can& #39;t help until the 10th at the earliest and even then, can& #39;t help much. What she can do is all stuff she needs to be physically there for. 5/10
Like, idk, it would be very helpful right now to have someone able to drive and who has a car and can stand to cook and has access to a full kitchen and we don& #39;t have that in BC but would in Detroit.
And it& #39;s also incredibly easy for Lynn to get US residency... 6/10

It& #39;s something I& #39;m discussing, not deciding yet, but it feels like the sensible move. The apartment should be moved out of either way but given Lynn& #39;s relationship with her mother, I& #39;d rather we move in with mine. Not permanently but during recovery. 7/10
Like, it& #39;s not like Lynn is getting the physical therapy she desperately needs here in Van as it is. IDK, it& #39;s great healthcare is free (terms and conditions may apply) but so was my Medicaid and I got optical, dental and mental health, too. 8/10
If you& #39;re capable of working, Canada is probably better but if you& #39;re eternally unemployable then a state with even a decaying welfare state like Michigan is better. I had food stamps, ffs! 9/10
IDK, just my depressed thoughts this morning. Guess I& #39;ll drop my PayPal in case people were having trouble donating to Lynn as my account is still established in the US. 10/10 https://www.paypal.me/elainediane ">https://www.paypal.me/elainedia...
