New Muslim here, stuck without Halal meat due to health and local situation. Any advice?

Assalamu alaikum everyone. I've just embraced Islam a few days ago, Alhamdulillah, but I'm facing a practical issue. My home is currently without any Halal meat. Due to some health challenges, both mental and physical, I am unable to leave the house to get some myself. I considered a vegetarian diet, but my doctor has advised that I specifically need to include meat for my health. Unfortunately, I don't have family or close friends nearby who could help me by getting it for me. I looked into ordering food, but in my country, finding Halal options is very difficult as it's not widely available or accepted. I feel a bit lost and unsure of what the best step is in this situation. Edit: I spoke with some knowledgeable friends about my specific circumstances. They offered some comforting advice, reminding me that Allah (SWT) is the Most Merciful and understands our situations and sincere intentions when we are facing genuine hardship.

Congrats on your conversion bro! In your situation, maybe look into online delivery from a big city if possible? Even if it's far, some places ship frozen halal meat.

Heard similar situations. Your friends' advice is perfect. Don't stress too much, make du'a and a plan will open up.

Welcome to Islam! Maybe you can eat regular meat for now? Under necessity (darura), rules can be relaxed. Please ask a scholar you trust though.

Salaam. The edit is key. Allah knows your struggle. Do your best within your means, that's what matters most.
