I called for a free fan from Lifecare Alliance, until I can pick up my air conditioning unit. Lots of folks are suffering this heatwave. I have been lucky so far as I now have an inhaler to help me breathe. I heard last night on the news that there are Cooling Centers through Columbus Parks And Recreation all over Columbus. I will be looking for the closest one in case it becomes too unbearable. I use the library, and trips to the grocery store to substitute cooling centers. Yesterday I sat in an air conditioned waiting room to fill out my application for housing. It is a relief that I won't be moving till September 1st. That gives me time to relax and prepare for the move. Hopefully it will be cool on both ends by then as I will have my new air conditioner set up on this end and can rest and cool down in between trips. I am getting my ducks lined up and excited about my next place. Looks like it will be through the HUD and Columbus Metropolitan Housing and I can enjoy reasonable rent rates that are below 50% of my total income. I have not had that sort of break since 2000 when I was on the voucher program. All these programs have eligibility requirements that are dependent on income and disability. I feel so blessed that I can get help when I am in crisis. I am reminded that crisis comes from the word cresos which means to sift.
