a journey of hope & encouragement as we walk thru this life
4th Grade Basics
You will need to have a safe & trusted address, mailbox or PO Box to receive important papers & mail. Most likely all the boxes will be already rented so perhaps a relative or close friend will allow you to use their address. Again, use your support system! Don’t feel bad for asking for help! You didn’t bring this on yourself & again, people want to help!
How’s that shopping going? A lil difficult to decide on what you need? How do you know what you need when you have nothing & you need everything! One day at a time, one moment at a time. Breathe! Remember all those notepads you have around, start using them! Make a list of what you need now. You will want to get everything at once but it will be to difficult to process all that when your brain is foggy, numb & out in la la land. Do a little at a time & plan on it taking much longer than usual. That’s okay.
Are you saving all your receipts? Remember that expandable file? Start using it every time you buy something. Catagorize the files according to your needs, household, food & dining, personal, insurance, mortgage etc
Did you get that cash advance from insurance yet? You can use that to stay afloat with daily needs but it will go quick if your not careful & you may have to use some of that to put down on a rental that will be reimbursed back to you from the insurance. Once your claim is in, your additional living expense, ALE, will be the part of your policy that pays for your rental. Your lease will be paid directly from the insurance to the landlord. Once you have a place to rent, the insurance should line up for you furniture, household items such as kitchen ware, bath & bed items etc. This is part of the ALE. YOU paid for this so don’t hesitate to ask for if it is not offered! Hang in there, YOU got this! You are stronger than you even know! 💪
