A:
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. It sounds like you had a very challenging situation at the shelter. If you're facing eviction from the shelter due to a medical condition like a grand mal seizure, you might have legal protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This law requires shelters to provide reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities.
Document everything that happened, including the seizure, any medical treatment you received, and any communication with shelter staff. This information will be crucial if you need to seek legal assistance or file a complaint. It's important to communicate clearly with the shelter management about your condition and your rights.
Consider reaching out to local legal aid organizations or advocacy groups in Pennsylvania. They can provide you with specific advice and possibly assist you in dealing with the shelter. Remember, you have rights and there are resources available to help you navigate this difficult situation.
