They were in an extremely toxic home environment and me and my husband had an extra room in the place we were renting, so we gave it to them for really fucking cheap (theyre on social security so we are actually mandated to charge them something non-negligible, and i guess it helps with rent). The toxic home environment was interfering with their ability to sleep, they had to take a shit in a bucket IN THEIR LIVING ROOM as some sort of disgrace thing, was forced to sleep on a couch, the family refused to believe they had cancer DESPITE TUMORS ON THE SCANS, and acted like they were fine despite HAVING A LEG AMPUTATED. As my friend was moving in, the family called me and my husband good people but then went on a whinge about the Satanic Left. I told them, straight to their faces, that I am a communist, and that I stand with my friends and help them, and they would be smart to follow Jesus's good example (I'm an atheist). They were gobsmacked, but they are narcissistic freaks and enjoyed the fact that I took my friend off their hands.

In the time my friend moved in, their cancer got better and better. Our policy was to just leave my friend the fuck alone and make sure they got good sleep. And turns out, removing the stressors in their life, making sure they felt safe, had healthcare, and got good sleep and cuddles with their cat (which was horribly abused by their family), was all they needed.

FUCK CANCER, FUCK AMERICA, PEACE ☭
