We’re not ones to always ask for help.
But our story has been going for a few months now, and we finally see a possible happy ending to it where we can get on track with things, but now we face a point where we could kind of lose everything that we’ve worked for I’ll explain…
My husband is an electrician of over five years. He works for a great company that has always been very gracious to us very stable and he’s been promoted a bit in the last few years, which has been great for us.
I stay at home with my almost two year-old who is non-verbal currently. I was a pharmacy tech for years but we never qualified for childcare help and eventually when I had my second, now 6 year old, I had to leave my job and make sure my oldest, now 12, could get to and from school safely. We didn’t have a car at the time so we walked. My now second also has some neurological issues. We have appointments that total five a week…these just started happening recently. All of that has piled onto the fact that we had a good amount of debt from when we actually moved into our now three bedroom apartment home,that we have become so comfortable in.
Let me take you a little bit back backwards here in time…
(The reasoning is because I want to fully explain how we got to where we are how I can get out of this situation and how my family can be OK but I really wanna make sure that everybody knows where this has started how we got here and that it’s not something that we intend to ever repeat to have to ask you for any kind of help like this again.)
Last year we had to vacate our apartment due to reasons beyond our control. We did sign a contract stating we would not talk about it. We could not mention it with you know their name attached so I cannot do that, but it was a situation where I was able to get out of a lease legally and I was allowed to move out of an apartment that I was no longer allowed to live in because of safety regulations so within seven days, we have to find money for moving a U-Haul. You know a place to live basically completely unexpected mind you after just paying rent so we had a tough couple of months but to our luck the day before we actually moved out. We were qualified for a low income three bedroom home which was way bigger than our than two bedroom Home that we were paying more for so there was a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel there I think and we finally moved in the issue is we had debt from just small loans that we got here and there when we had to move and just general living my husband makes less than $4000 a month we do have a car we pay for car insurance or phones and other than that we have our rent and that’s basically our expenses our children get everything that they need we find ourselves in this situation where we’re struggling to pay rent and not be behind on other bills or be evicted so the point of this is, we are now finally in a three bedroom home. My three girls are so happy here we love our neighbors. The community is safer they can play outside. It’s everything that we wanted. My husband is working six days a week looking for a second job, but I fear that he is killing himself. I work side jobs as much as I possibly can in between The Girls and I sometimes will get a Neighbor to babysit so that I can try to make some money reselling here and there worth doing anything that I can to help out.
This leads us to where we are now we never got out of that circle. We are finally getting out of that circle, but we now faced the fact that we do not have rent money and our rent is now late. We can still come up with it in the next week, but we would need to come up with the full amount as we usually use flex. We would not be able to use flex now that our rent is late so our full rent is 1780 and is now due with a $95 late fee.. we have until the 14th.
They then add another fee. I just feel like even if we somehow made it to where we could have that(which after doing numbers it isn’t possible) by asking maybe one or two family members we do have it still wouldn’t be enough. I have no one except my mom and she’s on disability. I’m just seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.. we were almost caught up and I really thought we were ok but some loans got paid off and next thing we know we’re negative. With no check on rent and nothing but money for milk, fruit and gas for school and appointments. I know everyone’s life is hard, I know…
But I’ve always helped anyone I could and my husband has such a good heart and would take the shirt off his back for someone if they needed. My oldest has great grades and is in theatre and my middle is on the spectrum but high functioning with just needing a few therapies but is so smart and loves art.
We just need this month covered with rent to get through.. if we could just do this, pay this months rent. Not lose our apartment, home etc
I can’t imaging putting the kids through that again this summer. They have always had a stable home.
I don’t care anymore so I’m begging. I can post proof of rent and you can look us up on Facebook etc we really are just trying our hardest to catch up and be ok. I went through a lot mentally and I wasn’t working as much as I wanted in reselling etc. I get horrible side effects from meds and was so sick.. I know this didn’t help us catch up either so I feel horrible.
I’m finally feeling like myself, finally back to work; especially on sites like Vinted and I make reborn dolls.
I feel good again; we started reading the bible and watching church on Sundays.. I know how is going to help me and I figured maybe this is what I’m supposed to do? Ask for help?
That’s my story.
