Iwas recently laid off from my job after losing my wife due to complications of giving birth to our stillborn baby. I had to sell my car and use all of my savings to pay for the funeral and burial expenses of my wife and stillborn baby. Due to my devastating situation, I fellĀ $4,000 behind on my rent. My manager was empathetic but the owner of my apartment complex told my manager to tell me that I have 90 days to come up with the $4,000 or I’ll be served with an eviction notice and end up homeless. Unfortunately I didn’t work long enough to qualify for unemployment otherwise I would have never gone online to beg for help.
Even though I’m grieving the loss of my wife and baby, I know I still need to find a job as soon as possible. I’ve been pushing out applications online and taking the bus to different parts of town to pass out resumes to different businesses. I went to my local welfare office and they only gave me a small amount in food stamps and some bus passes as well as placing me on the wait list for section 8 housing which takes at least a year to get a place to live.
What scares me is I I end up homeless, it’ll be almost impossible to find a job. Most employers won’t hire someone that’s homeless and doesn’t have a physical address as well as not having a place to clean up and look presentable.
I feel horrible asking for help but I’m desperate to come up with $4,000 to catch up on my rent to avoid becoming homeless. The owner of my apartment complex showed no empathy and literally told me that he’s not the one to offer moral support. I really want to find another place to live but due to my damaged credit and no income, it’s impossible to do so.
I had my debts discharged in bankruptcy a month ago but most places won’t rent to someone that has a bankruptcy under a year old. I still haven’t given up hope to find a job. I’ll accept the first job offer that I get no matter where it is.
I promise that if I can raise the $4,000 to catch up on my rent, I’ll definitely pay it forward once I find a job.
