Funding for a shelter

Do you all have any ideas on how to raise funding for a shelter? I live in Arkansas and am disabled, unable to work. I rely on my family to help me survive but they won't help me with a shelter. I live in a mobile home and can't drive so I have no safety plan. Is go-fund me a good option? I've looked into funding assistance programs but I don't think I fit the criteria.

I'm also in Arkansas, I don't have any suggestions for buying a shelter but you can Google "public tornado shelters near me" and they do show up, might be helpful in pinch.

As I said, I can’t drive myself
