I moved to the Chicago area several months ago to seek medical treatment. While the treatment was successful, I spent those months hopping between the hospital and various rehabilitation facilities; I also managed to deplete virtually all of my life's savings. I never really planted roots here and thus I don't really know anyone in the area. I'm an only child, both of my parents are dead, as are my wife and daughter; so I don't really have any family.
Cutting to the point: I have a large suitcase full of family photos, some of my daughter's toys, and various other keepsakes. It's too big for a shelter or transitional housing. I'm looking for someone to look after this suitcase while I sort out my housing and employment situations.
Thank you.
EDIT: At the suggestion of u/HeyDarnold, I've created a GoFundMe. I've kind of resigned myself to my situation so fundraising is only of secondary importance to me. I would be thankful for any donations at https://www.gofundme.com/f/me-find-a-place-to-live-and-steady-employment?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1

Why don't you link a go fundme? I'm sure several comrades will be willing to help out.
I didn't even think about it. I just created one though.
Thanks.
I bet someone at one of these radical bookstores could help you figure out a safe place for it for a while:
Pilson Community Books 1102 W 18th St. Chicago, IL 606060 312-478-9434
Quimby’s 1854 W. North Ave Chicago, IL 60622 773-342-0910
Or you could at least put up a flyer at then asking for someone to hang onto it for you.
Please stay strong comrade. Commenting and bumping to get vis
