I really want two things: to lift the weight I’ve been carrying and to stand on my own feet again. I’m so close, but I need help to avoid eviction.
This is my first time asking for assistance—I have no one else to turn to. Putting my fear of losing my home into words is hard, especially since it’s tied to my mental health. I’ll be brief: Facing this alone is overwhelming, but readers like you give me hope. Thank you.
I’ve battled depression, anxiety, and PTSD from a tough background for years. It ebbs and flows, but this past winter, I sank into a severe low I hadn’t felt in ages. I shut down, missed work, and fell behind on bills. It felt hopeless.
Then, in spring, amazing news: My only child was pregnant! It renewed my purpose—we were thrilled. But complications arose quickly. My daughter’s health declined, and I missed more work to support her. She was nearly at the week of pregnancy where the baby could survive on his own without serious complications. But that didn’t happen. My grandson, born at almost two pounds, died the next day. My daughter nearly did too, and doctors said she can’t have more children.
The grief was unbearable. I couldn’t function, lost focus at work, and went on leave to heal. I’ve worked hard to improve—things aren’t perfect, but they’re better. Now, I’m facing eviction from missing income.
I’m behind three months’ rent plus late fees ($2685 total). I’ll be served court papers soon. I’m returning to work but won’t get paid for two weeks. I earn just over assistance thresholds and have exhausted other options.
This plea is my last chance. If someone can help, I’ll be forever grateful—it means a fresh start. In the future, I’ll pay it forward. Thanks for reading.
My request: $2685 (or $3530 including this month). Any amount helps.
