Hello all,
I am the proud mother to 4 wonderful little boys ages 12-6. We currently live with relatives whom asked us to move in with them when our lease was up at our previous home, mostly to help each other out financially but also to keep them company, one struggles with extreme depression and anxiety and having us around gives her days a little bit of meaning. Whenever the pandemic hit and my great state of Texas shut down, most utility places and landlords were gracious enough to turn a blind eye to late payments and apparently no payments at all. Up until about a week ago, us being the “guests” living here, we were told what the total was for the electric every month and what our portion would be and we would then proceed to give our relative cash with the impression they were doing what they said they were going to do with the money and pay the bills, the same thing was going on with our half of the rent. I was completely oblivious until last week when the landlord came over and told me the rent hasnt been getting paid and hasnt been paid on at all since SEPTEMBER 2020! To say I’m still in a state of shock is a gross understatement. So to sum it all up, all of the money I paid for these expenses were spent on everything except and I’m facing eviction and our electric being disconnected with my children who did absolutely nothing to deserve this. Moving isnt an option right now, I’m in college full time, doing the best I can to be a good mother and good student so I can graduate and give my family the best life I can. As for the thieving relatives, I’ll deal with them at a later date seeing as the urgency of our situation far outweighs playing the blame game right now. I’ve set up arrangements with the landlord to pay $250 a week until we are caught up, we owe him $2,800. Our electric bill is overdue and set to be disconnected literally any day and we owe them a whopping $1,700. Any and all help will be more appreciated than you could ever imagine and I 100% intend to pay it forward whenever I’m blessed enough to be in the position to do so. Thank you for your time and compassion and understanding. My PayPal link to which you can send monetary kindness to is
