I need help recovering and avoiding eviction. Willing to create custom paintings in exchange

Hello. My name is Sarah. I am a young(ish) adult working full time in Alberta.

I’ll give as much context as I can in short form so I don’t end up writing a novel.

8 months ago, I was at the end of an alcohol addiction, but still functioning at work and with general daily errands. I keep very, very few close friends and last spring, 2 of them, who do not drink, cut me out of their lives because of how draining I had become. Two days later, my third friend, who was also an alcoholic like myself, was found dead in her house because of alcohol related organ failure.

I was in shock over the next few weeks, so much so, that I had quit drinking completely. I have been sober ever since my friends funeral last May, not even out of effort, but it somehow wrecked me enough that I had completely forgotten about it.

Immediately, I had started weekly therapy. My insurance only covers $300 a year, so that was used up within a few visits. Although I work full time, I work at minimum wage. But I felt it was worth the money. I was on a sliding scale at $75 a week and thought I would be able to cut down on things to make it work. I also started medication, which is thankfully covered.

I quit smoking and started grocery shopping at the dollar store to try and make up for the counselling, as well as worked overtime when I was allowed to do so. However, about 3 months ago, my health began to decline. And this is where control of my finances went from recovering to declining beyond repair.

I am already quite small and was losing weight rapidly, I noticed my hair starting falling out in little handfuls and I was having difficulty lifting things or focusing at work. Through collaboration with my therapist and my work supervisor, I was put on a 2.5 week stress leave in October as I was no longer able to function at work.

When I came back to work, I was incomparably better and much more equipped to work and handle day to day stress. However, I knew I would have to figure something out for rent and my automatic bill withdrawals. I work in a lesser known skilled trade (we don’t get paid properly, but I love the job and try to make it work) and I am also a freelance artist in my off-time.

I tried my best to hunt out some commissions in a short period of time, but was unsuccessful in making enough to cover. I have no contact with my family and have recently lost all of my friends (indefinitely?), so I am unable to borrow. My job does not allow advances.

I was able to secure several payday loans to cover my rent for November. But because of this, the automatic repayments for the loans and their interest have put me in the negative. I know payday loaners should be avoided at all costs, but at the time, I felt like I had no other options and just wanted to make it through that month.

I have lived in my apartment for 2 years and this is the first time I have been unable to pay rent. I am usually resourceful but I believe I have come to the end of that. I had spoken to my landlord last week and he was understanding of the situation and has given me until December 15th to come up with rent for him.

Also, due to an extremely unusual shortage of work, staff have all been sent home twice this week. I was actually just phoned again today and asked not to come in on Monday. This is almost comically inconvenient, which sort of lead me to this site. My supervisors have been incredibly supportive throughout this whole ordeal, but are unable to help financially.

My rent is $1075. I expect my cheque to be around $700-$750(It’s normally about $1200) I still have the last of my payday loans coming out, as well as my bill payments, which will put me back in the negative.

Although this is a begging site, I am happy to offer some custom artwork in exchange if you would like as the title says. I would like to attempt to earn this. I have a few smaller canvases and would gladly paint whatever you would like. I am quite experienced and have a huge portfolio, so I promise it would be good quality.

I have also attached an image of my rental agreement with all personal information omitted.

Thank you for your consideration and I am willing to answer any questions excluding personal/security info of course.

Help Me Get Back On My Feet.

Hello,

My name is Eretria E. Jones,  and I’m a college student who underestimated the complications of being an adult and being on my own in the world. Not too along ago, my father passed away of Leukemia, leaving me and my mother in distress. My mother has raised four children on her own, and has always struggled with finances and trying to keep me and my siblings afloat. Although she never says it, I can see the pain and worry on her face when bills come in. I was overcome by sadness, depression, and struggled to move on with my day to day tasks. It was a challenge to even get out of bed to shower, and do the simplest of tasks. Thankfully, with time, I was able to push myself up and finish school. So, I thought that maybe getting out of my hometown, and moving states away, would help me get a fresh start. You know, a breath of fresh air.

But, I underestimated things..

Now, I’m struggling to pay my bills, and other complications, and it seems like things are falling apart faster than I can put them together. And it hurts.. With the things i’ve been dealing with lately, it has been hard for me to find a job. I also want to go back to school, but it seems like these new issues keep pushing that dream back further and further..

I don’t want this to be a hand-out. I want this to be aid for someone whose passionate about helping people get back on their feet. Thank you.

Single Mother Facing Eviction

My 18 month old daughter and I just moved to the area a couple months ago for a job for me. The move cost everything I had and I was still behind with all the deposits I’ve had to put down along with now having daycare costs. I’ve been trying to play catch up but the later I am the more fees get accrued. On top of that we did not get child support the last two months but was assured recently I will be receiving it from now on. I don’t get any type of government assistance as I make too much according to the guidelines, but I am on a contract until the end of this month so I don’t get paid for holidays and unfortunately our office was closed for 4 days for Thanksgiving so my paycheck took a big hit there, along with days I’ve had to leave to take my daughter to the doctor for illnesses. I’ve gotten multiple medical bills lately that I’ve had to pay before they go to collections from having to be in the hospital for a week over the summer. We had our power turned off a couple weeks ago so having that turned back on ended up costing us even more with additional fees. Yesterday I got home to a court order on my door for 12/11/18 for a pending eviction. I contacted my apartment management and they told me that I would have to pay $1,841.50 (past Nov rent, legal fees, and late fees) by end of day yesterday and then $1,617.00 ( Dec rent and late fees) by the 14th or they had to proceed and there were no other options. I was told by the sheriff to call the complex’s attorney, but I have not heard back. I have looked into other organizations but do not fit their guidelines nor am I in low income housing right now, and many I have had difficulty even reaching somone. My daughter and I do not have anyone in the area to turn to for help as we don’t know people down here yet. I have been looking for a second job as well as I want to be able to get back on my feet and ahead again as soon as possible. I am also fearful that if I get evicted I will lose rights to my daughter, and that is also just not something I could bear. If you can help I would appreciate it more than you could ever know.

Trans Woman Fighting Eviction

I am a transgender woman who is still early in her transition. Living as myself full time, finally being the woman I always was and was meant to be, has been the most emotionally significant experience of my adult life. I’ve had to put a lot of work into this, from learning new skills and routines to acquiring in short order the things other women have had years to procure. It has many moments of being scary, especially in this country’s current political climate, and it has many struggles of its own, but I don’t know how I possibly lived so long before coming out.

I was recently laid off from my job of 4 years, and didn’t quite have things lined up when this month’s rent came due. I have also been getting the frustrating run around from Florida trying to apply for reemployment assistance; I’ve been trying to apply for going on two weeks, and due to complications in their system I still have yet to actually put in my application. This hasn’t stopped me from seeking employment, but I haven’t been hired yet. I now have to pay the remainder, plus a late fee, before Friday the 7th or I will be evicted. While being homeless would have anyone scared, as a trans woman I admit to being terrified as certain resources are closed to people like myself. Having a home is more than just a place to stay; it is security, a place where I know that I am and will be safe. In an era of looming ‘bathroom laws’ and the threats of the current White House against things like our civil rights and right to employment, knowing that there is one space where I don’t have to worry about angry stares or worse is absolutely essential.

I’m trying to keep fighting, and I know that all I need is some time to put my life back in proper working order. I just need to get past Friday, and in order to do that, I have to ask for help. I’m not used to that, but I no longer have the luxury of pride; I have nowhere else to turn, and almost no time to turn to it. For all intents and purposes, my life has barely begun; please help me to continue my growth into the person I am by helping to save the safe space in which I can blossom.

Please help our family to avoid eviction and to pay our bills

We are a family of 2 plus my son visiting the week ends: husband, I have a 5 years old from a previous marriage and my wife. We never taught that as a family of professionals, would have go through such a hard struggle at this point in our lives in the late fourties. My wife did not have income for over 6 months and apart my business I had to work a second job plus Lyft.

At the same time my business went through some hard struggles and I have been forced to ask a short term loan and cash advance with high interests. With lots of struggle, praying and cutting our expenses to the minimum we have been able to cover all the household bills plus the loan and the cash advance.
For the loan we pay $604 once a week and the cash advance is $121 daily monday through friday.  The money are deducted automatically from my bank account so all the other expenses take a second place because if we do not pay the repayments we go into overdraft which is $35 per transaction…. The loan will be paid off the first week of March 2019 and the cash advance in May 2019.

Once the loan will be paid off in 3 months time we will be fine and our struggles will be over but unfortunately we do not have the means at this point to pay everything and we do not know where to turn and we have tried also to ask a third loan to pay everything at lower monthly costs (we are paying almost $5000 monthly between loan and cash advance) but it was denied to us. I have asked to file for filing banckrupcy but it takes 4 months and it is too long.

At this point we have not paid the rent $1200 and will be evicted in 18 days if we would not do so, I have not been able to pay child support ($600), we will not be able to pay both loans and will go on overdraft and eventually our bank accounts and business accounts will be closed…. For the next 3 months we will be $3000 monthly short which means a total of $9000.

We beg you for your help, we are really desperate and do not know where to turn for help.  Even a small donation if given by many people will help us to get out from this nightmeare.

God bless those that would help us.

The PayPal account for the donation is the one of my business because it is from where the rent (I have a home based business), the loan and the cash advance are paid.

Graduate Student Facing Eviction

Hello all,

I am currently a graduate student at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and working towards my Masters in Counseling to become a therapist . I love people and I love helping others as much as I can . Recently, I have been experiencing some financial strain due to being robbed nearby my house . I was forced to exhaust all of my money out of my account by gunpoint, including having to hand over my purse. That money in my account consisted of money that was desposited to me by my school as a refund . That was the money I was going to use to pay my rent every month and now I have completely nothing . I have no steady income due to the fact that I work at Navy Pier on the boat and my work is seasonal, meaning no work during the cold months . I’m up to ears in debt and I really do not want to spend the holidays moving out of my apartment and being evicted . I’m supposed to have the money paid in full by the 14th of this month, but I don’t think I’m going to make it. I literally have nothing but bad credit and $50 to my name . If any could possibly help out with something, anything , I would be forever grateful . I don’t receive another refund until the end of January and that’s just too late . This is my second month being late and I barely made it brought November . I paid November by borrowing money and I’ve exhausted all my options . So please, if anyone could donate anything that would be the ultimate blessing . Please help me fight this and not be evicted around Christmas. Thank you

I Need Help!

My name is Ariel Craft and I am 21 years old. I have always had a job and a savings and plan for any situation until now. Last year I bought a used truck for 5300. I emptied my entire savings on it; because I knew I was going to be able to save the money up again. The truck ran great for 6 months until the first problem came.

I didn’t feel anything wrong with the brakes when I first brought the truck so, I was just riding not knowing I was wearing all of the rotors down. So, I had to chip out of my savings again to replace four rotors. Then I get in a car accident which threw out the lower control arm. That’s another chip at my savings and since that accident wasn’t covered I had to pay out of pocket for the repairs. I spent just under 1000 on total repairs.

The very next month after my accident the transmission starts to go. I had 800 in my saving but the work cost 1900 that’s everything include warranty and all right. So I use my entire paycheck plus my savings to pay for a “new” transmission. The “new” transmission goes out the day after the warranty ends which was three months after the fact.

The “new” transmission goes out 1 month after I get my apartment and new job. I thought I was good and starting fresh and I was ready. I was wrong. The job I was working only paid 9.00/hr. and I got paid on a weekly basis which was great because I no longer had a stash of money.  I needed to build as quickly as possible so I worked the first month at 45 hours or more each week. I was only able to accumulate 300 in the first month. This is the same time I gave up one my truck so I sold it but it wasn’t worth much because it could barely even move. So that took my saving up to 1100.

Once the truck was gone I was relying on a co-worker to take my back in forth from work for 50 a week. That was going great up until October. He quit without any heads up. He blocked my number and everything instead of just telling me he quit. So, for the first week I was paying $30 a day there and back with lyft and uber. That 180 a week just to get to work and that was the majority of my check. At this point the only reason the bills were paid for the month is because of the savings. I was able to hang on for three weeks until I started going negative. I don’t have a way to get to work now so, I see if my manager and I can work something out but his only words were “I’m sorry we are going to have to let you go if you can’t find a ride.”

Now I’m here with an eviction notice and shut off warnings from everyone. I would like a donation of $5000 so I can catch up on my bills and get a car to go back work.

Family of 7 Hopeless & Homeless For The Holidays

Family of 7 about to be Hopeless & Homeless For The Holidays
Please Help !!
I never thought we would be in this situation as hardworking and as charitable we have always been. My family has been hit pretty hard this year with hardships Normally we just keep trying to work things out and pray for guidance on our next steps. But this time has been so different. I hardly no where to begin. Basically a while back my husband fell down 16 stairs and broke his back in two places. He was out of work for 8 months. He got short term work disability for 3 months and was supposed to get disability for the remaining months and was denied. That’s where we started getting a little behind. I have two disabled children. My son has Autism and severe epilepsy. My daughter has Asperger’s syndrome and panic attacks. The both take quite a bit of medication. Which is expensive. Then there is me I have high blood pressure, severe lymphedema in both of my legs which swell and make it difficult to walk. I also have a large umbilical hernia that needs to removed. And I suffer from Keratoconus which is an eye disease caused by the shape of my eye. I have to wear special contacts in order to see or I’m actually almost legally blind without them. Me and my husband both work. And we have been trying to keep everything caught up. I tried getting disability for me and my daughter and was turned Down twice. We are behind in rent $2500 and have 2 days to have our things out. We were out of the house since the day before thanksgiving. If we can’t get help our things have to be out Thursday. I don’t know if this will help. But I have tried everything else to come up with the money. We’re usually trying to help the homeless every year. Now we’re facing it ourselves. If you can find it in your heart to help us it would be greatly appreciated and when we’re on our feet we will pay it forward again. Lord Help us. I’m trying so hard to keep faith. Thank you for taking the time to read our reality. Sincerely KJones (NeedAMiracleNow)

ABOUT TO BE EVICTED

paypal.me/trae88

Please help!

I am a working artist (selling artwork at comic cons and doing commissions) with a part time job on top of that. My girlfriend works full time with a side job. We have 2 cats and are days away from being evicted.

I have been struggling with depression for a while now and feel that my situation has hit an all time low. I’m very scared for the future and don’t really know how I will ever get out of this hole. Me and my girlfriend have been working very hard and making our best efforts, trying to get through this together. Yet lately things seem to be turned against our favor. The rent keeps going up, we have been having medical and vehicle problems, and despite my best efforts our income has stayed the same. Our home town is growing rapidly and living wages have skyrocketed in the last year. Don’t get me wrong, We are usually not the kind of people to blame our situation on everything else. We have goals set for our future, and a plan set in place. Currently though, we feel trapped. We donate plasma, have been selling our stuff, basically anything to make some extra cash. We have been struggling lately to stay on top of having enough money for basic needs. I have had quite a few medical bills come up and her car has broken down three separate times (right now it needs a new starter), this year has been tough. Currently we are overdrawn and on the brink of being unable to pay rent let alone purchase food. Many of our bills from last month have gone unpaid. Our bank recommended we apply for a personal loan and then promptly declined it. We don’t have anyone to turn to for money to help get us back on track. We’re very afraid of the situation we thought we could rally through and get everything taken care of so that we wouldn’t have to ask, but this is our last resort. Our constant hope is that we can just be contributing members of society. Lately we are having a hard time just taking care of ourselves. We will do everything in our power to pay it forward when we can. If anyone out there is kind enough to hear our story and help us thank you so much in advance!

Any amount of donation would be greatly appreciated of course, but we are in the hole by $1,750. That would set us even and on track for next month. Thanks again.

Looking for a hand up, not a hand out

I’m a single mother to a 6 year old little boy and a beautiful 17 year old girl. I’ve also had custody of my 7 year old nephew since he was 10 months old. It was originally a temporary arrangement but after the years went by, it became apparent that he wasn’t going anywhere. He calls me mom and has just as much room in my heart that my son and daughter do. I could bore you with a lifelong sob story about how tough I had it and my abusive relationships but that is all my past and that’s where I leave it so that we can enjoy the present and look forward to the future. We rent a home that isn’t anything to brag about but it’s a roof over our heads (even if it does leak a lot). My rent is $1,000/month with nothing included. At the end of September I changed jobs and wasn’t able to carry my old health insurance after I left. I will be eligible for insurance at my new job in January. My nephew receives an injection daily and has for a little over two years. The cost of that injection without insurance is just shy of $3k every 28 days. I have spent every penny of my savings and a good chunk of my bill money to make sure he continued with his meds. Now my checking account is overdrawn, my rent is behind, my lights are going to get shut off, I need pellets for heat and my car insurance is going to lapse. The only family I have is my mother who is retired and lives month to month and my father who is gravely I’ll and trying to live on his social security. Yes there are programs through the state and county but because I work so hard, we are no income eligible. I haven’t slept in days worried about how we are going to pull through this. I need help catching everything up and then we’ll be fine again. I don’t know what else to do and have nowhere to turn. With each passing day I become even more buried because of the astronomical overdraft fees that are just eating away what started as just a small overdraft and snowballed into the biggest debt I have. I’m putting my faith in humanity and praying I can reach some selfless individuals that would help us out.

Rent- $1,550

Electric-$631.46

Pellets- $249

Insurance-$286

Overdraft- $1,952.48

I’m being evicted and have no help.

87763A87-EE6F-4863-A6F7-DDE974999D67.pngHello, 

I don’t know exactly where to start but I’ll start to where I see fits. I moved from Maryland to North Carolina to get a new start on life and needed a better environment for my mental peace and all the trauma I experienced when I was living in Maryland. I came down with nothing but a suitcase and travel bag because I was determined to lay low and my do too much until I really got my life back in order. August I moved to Durham and received a waitressing job a month later. I then worked my butt off and got a car for myself in January. I finally started knowing that there was some sort of purpose in my pain I had went through and power in what I could do, so I continued to fight. The beginning of July I was informed that I needed to hurry and find my own space to live because the people I stayed with wanted to move pretty soon. So day in and day out I searched long and hard for a place I could finally call my own after EVERYTHING. Towards the end of July I FINALLY get my place and move in August 10th, 2018 (greatest day of my life by the way) and everything was gravy! I then lost my job of a year , a month later and my life has been spinning out of control ever since. I’ve fallen 2 months behind on rent with no assistance from my family. My one supporter, my Father, is incarcerated by immigration custody and is on the verge of being deported so I’m alone and depressed most days at the fact. My cars head gasket just blew so the other job I had , I lost because of money and transportation issues. All the things that I’ve worked so long and hard for, all my blood , sweat and tears just thrown down the drain. I’m a hard worker and have came to a hurdle in my life but I know God will make a way for me and I know he didn’t bring me this far to leave me but I feel abandoned and don’t know where else to turn. I have all these bills piling up on me and I just want my life back! I am asking for $2,000 to pay my rent and phone bill. https://paypal.me/whataboutdaee

Money desperately needed for rent

I am a single 26 year old woman who is struggling with my bills because of a job switch. I was a waitress for years and really enjoyed serving in restaurants and it was great money! I also enjoyed getting to meet and talk with new people every day. However after three years of busting my butt working two serving jobs with my 26th birthday impending I felt like I really needed to start looking for a “big girl job” that I could make a career out of. I was BLESSED to find that at an insurance agency where I am currently training to be an insurance agent. The problem with that is that its not good money until I finish the online course and take the test to get my license. I am working very hard on getting to that point but right now I am so stressed about money (because my salary was basically cut in half when I moved to this job) that I’m having a very hard time focusing. I am so behind on my rent that my landlord is about to evict me from my house and I owe quite a few family members from trying to get everything caught up. It just seems that no matter what I do I cant get out of this hole I’m in. I have always been the kind of person who is willing to give someone the shirt off my back, but for once I am the one desperately in need of help from somebody. I hope that once I get my bills caught up and get my insurance license I can achieve some real goals in life and do one of my favorite things as often as possibly, PAYING IT FORWARD!!delete.jpg

3 Day Notice – Single Mom Asking For Help

I am a single mom, currently unemployed, struggling to find work. I have been getting unemployment income which ended two weeks ago. I was not forewarned, and should have been paying attention to end date but have a lost track of end date. I just received a 3 day notice to pay past due rent plus fees in full and do not have the money.

I have 2 children, a 16 year old daughter, and a 14 year old son. They are the only thing that keeps me going some days. I share 50/50 custody with their dad and we live approximately a mile from each other with their schools in the middle. Our divorce took 3 years to finalize and the custody/child support has been an ongoing battle but has been pretty calm for the last two years.

I am a Registered Nurse and I have a true passion for what I do. There have been days recently that I have thought of changing my career path but I cannot think of anything more rewarding than helping someone feel better.

I lost my job in July and have been unsuccessful finding employment. I have completed countless applications, had many interviews via phone and in person. I have a professional attitude, my appearance is the same. I am not the bubbly outgoing type, more reserved but friendly. I also pride myself on being an honest person.

When I lost my job I had to cut many expenses. I had a small savings which has paid for groceries over the last few months. I cook all our meals, trying to stretch as much as possible. We eat a lot of soup, chili, and Ramen Noodles, but probably a lot healthier than the fast food and meal replacements we ate before.

My unemployment was just enough to cover my rent and utilities. It took a few weeks to get my unemployment, during which I fell behind on rent. I have remained a month behind until November. I had been told by several people that I could renew unemployment, but I called today to find out why I haven’t gotten a payment and ask what I needed to do if I needed to renew or reapply. I was informed that doesn’t happen anymore and I am now very unexpectedly unable to pay at all.

My family lives over 1000 miles away and I have no one to lean on. My family struggles to make ends meet. If I lose the roof over my head the only option I really have would be to move “home”which would separate me from my kids.  I am terrified of all the “what ifs” and am trying to keep a positive attitude, thinking of what I can learn from this. I do believe God has a purpose for my struggle.

If you are able to make a donation, I truly appreciate your help. If you believe in prayers I appreciate all we can get. I will one day be back on my feet, and again, able to help someone in need.

Embarrassing, but Please help me pay my Rent

Hi there,

Thank you for taking time out of your day to read about me and my request. I can’t believe I got myself into this situation. Okay, here goes everything. I’m in a financial crisis that I’m embarrassed to say, I did to myself, slowly, and unintentionally, but I did it. I’m very deep in debt and I need help. I need help with my rent and car payments, so that I can attack my debt. Every paycheck, I have to decide what I can pay on, if I can buy actual food vs. Cup of Noodles and $0.89 microwave meals from Walmart to get me through the month and then there’s the basic necessities such as toilet paper and feminine needs. I’m paying as much as I can on my debts which is very little, pretty much just the interest, but after rent, car payments, utilities, student loans, and my phone bill, I have maybe $100 left a month for gas, food, and pet food. I don’t have cable or internet because I can live without it, it’s not important so I don’t need to waste money on it. I work as a full time manager with one company and part time manager at another to try and make ends meet. I work anywhere from 70-80 hours a week and I’m so exhausted and defeated. I sleep about 4-5 hours a night and try and pick up any extra shifts I can at my part time job. It’s Tuesday and I’ve already worked 35 hours this week. I’m so tired. Please help me. I just need someone to help me catch up and get ahead so I can move forward. I’m 32 year old female and have never been able to take a week off and have an actual vacation or just fun. I know that I’m the one who placed myself in this situation, but if you can and take pity on me, please help me, please.

Thank you so much,

Marie

Eviction Emergency

Charles Dickens famously wrote in a Tale of Two Cities that “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”.  I certainly feel I can relate.  Four months ago the people I worked for decided to not pay me, terminate my employment, without a redundancy package despite being there over 5 years and through some dealings that are currently being investigated in lead to a tribunal, fudged paperwork meaning I couldn’t claim even statutory redundancy from the Government.  In short, I was up a creek and some git on a jetski had nicked my paddles and stuck a hole in the boat.

Quickly I began scrambling for new jobs, whilst also trying to sign up to the beloved new Government System – Universal Credit.  Temp jobs, cash in hand jobs, appeared, and I eagerly took them, working all the hours that I could.  Clearly as impatient to meet her parents as we were to meet her, my daughter arrived 3 1/2 weeks early roughly a month later.  As I had no permanent job, I took some time off whilst she stayed in hospital on the Neonatal ward, to get her settled at home when we could finally take her home, and be there to bond, parent, help her mum (we are not together).  Then to go through the allergy questions, intolerances, sleepless nights, her breathing issues, her gastric issues – and before long, 2 months of the occasional shifts between hospital and GP visits just to get the bare essentials of living – I needed to get back to looking for full time employment.

I’m still looking.  I’m still scrambling and scraping by on odd shifts, temp work, cash in hand work, selling possessions etc.  Still waiting for Universal Credit to help me, but I’ve got yet another appointment next week I can only imagine is to spin the wheels a bit more.  But now I’m out of options, and one of the things that I let slide, was the rent.  So now, the landlord has said pay the arrears of £2400 by the end of this week, or be out within two.  And I totally understand why, from his perspective.  It’s business, it’s not personal.  For him.  For me, it means something a bit more drastic.  I’m still job hunting, picking up shifts, selling off the few things that are mine that I can, but I just need a bit of help because I’m desperate and time is of the essence.  I don’t have many relatives, and of those I do they don’t have the cash to spare, my friends have helped where they could mostly with stuff for my daughter which was wonderful but none of us has much spare cash.

This isn’t anything grand, exciting, heartbreaking, or unique.  What it is, is my life, and I’m currently trying to cling on whilst being there for my daughter as best I can amidst a sea of other issues that have befallen and conflicted this year.

To anyone who does help – thank you, personally, with amazing gratitude.  Once I’m back on my feet, I will pass it on.
To anyone who wants to help, but can’t – no worries.  Thanks for reading, I’ve been looking at some of the stories on here and wishing I could help too but being unable.

To help, please donate, whatever you can, here.

Rent Help or Newly Homeless

Hello. A little bit about me first: My name is Jackson, I work in the environmental and transportation industries, I am fairly young just two years out of college, I live in Boston, and I hope this reaches you while you are having a great day!

 

I am looking for $1,500 before the end of the weekend.  Here is my story:  I began suffering this summer from extreme nauseau, vomiting, and stomach pain.  I won’t go into any more gross details than this, but I would generally vomit close to 50 times a day during my flare ups.  After multiple emergency room and primary care visits, I was diagnosed with Chron’s Disease.  After a trail-and-error period of figuring out the correct medications and dosage, I am now happy to say the majority of symptoms are gone, or at least controlled to the point where I can live a mostly normal life.

 

I missed a significant amount of work in August due to my condition.  I was able to use earned sick time, and a short term disability leave.  However, there was still a total of 8 days that were completely uncompensated, and 14 days of just 60% pay.

 

Since this happened in August, I paid my September and October rent two weeks late.  Luckily, I kept my landlord in the loop on my situation, and he was lenient and gave me a little extra time to collect my rent payments.  I was very grateful for this.

 

Yesterday evening, my landlord contacted me to say that if I do not collect my full rent, plus a late fee, by Tuesday, I will be evicted.  I have read my lease document to see if he is allowed to do this, and yes, he is allowed to do this.  I am very scared and do not know how to obtain these funds.  I am very worried that come Tuesday, I may actually be evicted, and most likely will end up homeless.  If I end up homeless, I’ll still have a job, but I don’t anticipate keeping that job very long if I am homeless.  I will most likely get let go in the near future due to this uncomfortable situation.

 

I have been struggling to get my payments back on track.  Luckily, I have been able to keep up-to-date on all other bills, loans, expenses, etc., with the exception of this month’s rent.  My rent plus the late fee totals $1500, and I would be incredibly grateful of anyone who can assist.

 

 

I am using this site as a last resort, as I am unsure of where else to seek help. If I am actually able to get financial help here from any of you, I would be so grateful. I do not want to be homeless. I do not want to lose my job. I do great work that benefits low-income, minorities, with better access to transportation. I am scared.

 

I have included a photo of myself below if you are interested in seeing what Jackson looks like.  This photo is me with a handsome dog named Brody, whom I often walk and dog-sit as a part-time job.

 

Thank you,
Jackson :)

Praying For a Miracle

Hello my name is Antoinette I’m a single mother of 2 boys  Blaze 11 and Elijah 8. I’m also taking care of my nephew Zaidyn 3 since he was 6 months. I had my niece Zoey up until recently. I’m currently behind on my rent , working less hours and now no transportation facing an eviction. My sister was in jail for the last 2 and a half years I’ve had her 2 oldest her friend had her baby. She was released from jail September22 she came and stayed with me for 6 days. I keep my bill money in a cabinet in my kitchen at the top no problem its just me and the kids never dreamed my sister would be a threat. My rent is 800 I’m in a 2 br I make sure every Sunday to add 200 rent is due on the 5. My sister left on the 28 with her daughter left her son . I wasn’t suspicious until he came for the rent on the 5 and 600 was missing. I realized what happened she stopped answering and I never know where she stays . I told him he told me if I file a police report he’d extend until the 15 I did this upset my mom who never helped so she’s not a big loss. As hard as I tried I couldn’t make850 plus late fee in time. On the 19 of October I made it and was served the same day. I called him the morning of court told him I had 850 he took it but now I have to cover eviction 225. On the 2nd of Nov my lights were disconnected I paid that. Now my rent is 2 days behind I only have 420 on it now my car has stopped running and that limits me helpless. I can’t afford a mechanic so I went to Craigslist and now I’m paying 60 I can’t afford just to find out the problem.  My oldest son will be 12 on the 16 of November and wants a laptop so badly and I know it’s impossible. He deserves it he’s Straight A student principal honor roll always ceo of the treasury club . Scored the highest on the leap math test in his school. Just last month he was student of the day 3 times. He helps me by helping his brother with homework occupying my nephew, he even cooks he’s incredible. Elijah is so charismatic and funny he’s always lifting me up and doesn’t even know it hes so fearless and just happy . Zayzay is constantly smiling the most adorable smile just melts. I’ve never had a lot but was always comfortable and had a little extra this has set me back soooo much I don’t know how I’ll make it happen .This may or may not work but what else will I lose right  Even if you can’t help prayers are just as appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read just a bit of the chaos that’s my life20181107_174419.jpgScreenshot_20181107-175042_Gallery.jpg17966498_1503963766301202_1751238845686544050_o.jpg

Last Chance for Chance

Hi there. The names Chance Sharpe and I´m 23 years old and living in Cincinnati Ohio. I´m not the type of person to reach out for assistance like this. I absolutely hate depending on someone else. I thought I could handle what I have been dealing with on my own but times have gotten hard and the only thing i have left right now is an apartment I rent in Cincinnati. As of tomorrow, that will be old news as well.

At one point i had things covered. I was doing well. Bills were getting paid and things were smooth flowing. I felt virtually worry free. Until my job at the time decided to force some company changes upon its employees that i did not like. I was informed on another typical work day that the current shift I was working on was being moved from 2nd to 3rd shift. At the time my home life made this difficult for me to feasibly adhere to but that meant nothing to leadership in a warehouse environment. They have a real ¨Jump on board, or fall in the water¨ outlook on things when it comes to stuff like that. I was also informed that they would be removing my shift differential as soon as the switch took place. After 2 almost 3 years i was appalled. From that point lunches were shortened, procedures that i had put in place to help the company were changed, mandatory overtime skyrocketed and I eventually quit due to many factors. I wish i hadn´t but I did.

Some time went by and I found a place for me to work. Had an interview scheduled and was moving in the right direction. Until August 22nd 2016 (one day before my orientation). Two armed men swindled their way into my apartment and after an attempted snatch and grab followed by a fight with me, they took off empty handed. I was shot 3 times and rushed to U.C. Cincinnati in critical condition. My femoral artery in my left leg was ruptured and my right forearm was severely broken from gunshots.

From this point it has gone collectively downhill. To the point where now I have no vehicle due to it being broke down in another part of town beyond my ability of repairing. I have trouble finding work due to medical complications. No work = No paid bills. Now it´s even more difficult to find work because of the time period i was unemployed due to medical restrictions and since my most recent job fired me.

Long story short it was not something I did. (I´ll be vague and spare details and names because its pointless to try and speak badly of another company.)  Coworkers that were there the day of the incident will confirm that i didn´t do anything that should entail termination. Unfortunately the manager at this facility decided that he should pick sides with seniority as oppose to some young kid rather than hearing both sides of the story and figure out what actually happened. He heard one side, assumed it was the truth, and wouldn´t listen to the other.  Next thing you know…¨Your Fired.¨ Reasoning he gave me was ¨During your first 90 days I can fire you for any or no reason regardless of what you say did or didn´t happen.¨ I bit my tongue got my things and vacated the premises.

Hence why I´m about to lose my place. I have a job interview and possibly could start working tomorrow morning but I need to get some cash together to pay my landlord or I´m going to have a job but no place to live. I am out of resources. Family can´t help me. Friends have all showed me there true colors by leaving me behind in the worst possible moment. Kind of funny how those people just disappeared as soon as my vehicle was no longer available for me to drive them anywhere in.

Please let me know if you can help me in any way shape or form I have no one left i can ask for assistance. Tomorrow morning is my deadline to have my rent paid and up to date or vacate. From the time I spent in the hospital and the recovery period i spent at home in bandages, i have backed rent i still need to pay. Over $2,000 worth. I´m not asking for all of it to get paid. Every bit helps

 

Thanks for your time

Sincerely,  Chance DIMG_20181106_201701.jpg

Caring for Mom now this Eviction Bomb

Hello, let me say first and foremost I was totally taken back when I found this website. Not sure if this will work or not, but at this point I don’t have much choice in at least trying.

2 years ago I dropped everything to go care for my mother, I’ve been her primary caregiver ever since. I am single, 1 child currently a struggling college student, so I didn’t have to worry about a spouse involved or anything.

Sibling wise there is myself, my sister, and 1 brother who died long ago. My mother never remarried after my father cut out on us when i was 5 years old.

Her siblings are pretty much up in age just like she is and or passed, so it was pretty much up to me or my sister and she is on disability with Lupus and Fibromyalgia as well as lives out of state.

I am doing my best to keep my mother out of a facility etc. She is scared to death of going to one, so I’m just trying to keep her at home.

When I arrived we moved into a better place than the one she was staying in, but over time i have depleted all of my savings and pretty much month to month now. Recently some extra things came up and the next thing I knew we got behind on bills.

I was not able to get the rent in on time this month and they will serve papers on the 15th of Nov. By then the total would be around $1500 with the late fee’s going up $10 per day. Once they serve papers then court fees ad an additional $200.

$1500 would take care of this months rent and I just got great news from my sister.  I have finally convinced her to move in here with us and help the best she can, but she can’t make it until after the 1st of the year in 2019.

Once she is here I can go back into the work force because she can be here to help care for my mother throughout the day time.

I had a colonoscopy and other tests recently and hoping for a good report, my hope is that it’s just stress that has my digestive system off track and other symptoms I’ve been experiencing.

Well as Tony Robbins teaches, “Everybody has a story”, and that’s my life/story for now. Whatever you can contribute we give much gratitude for, thank you.

Struggling Young Man Can’t Make Rent

 

Hello,

My name is Hadrian and I am a financially struggling nineteen year old trying to make rent by the end of this month. The city park department I was employed at decided to fire me after being very sick for five days during the first week of October. Unfortunately due to the bad timing, I am out of my main source of income until I start my new job with Kroger on Monday of next week. With rent due in six days I am beginning to panic!

Some people may want to say, “Just ask your parents for help.” My mother is already currently paying for my other two brothers to go to college despite having her paychecks recently garnished for medical bills. Strongest woman I know, just wish we all could be made of money. I don’t know my father at all, so I have kinda just been left alone to fend for myself.

I keep busy doing irrigation subcontracting work that brings in about $30 every week- just enough to feed my cat and me. Some nights I have to give him sandwich meat for food and find myself skipping meals entirely. With intense fall rains hitting central Kansas the last few weeks, outdoor lawn care and irrigation work has been hard to come by. On the other hand I had to sell my beloved drum set to pay my insurance, along with the television and game consoles to keep my utilities on. My beater little Dodge neon is certainly next to go on a marketplace if it means keeping a roof over my head. Would like to avoid selling my car at all costs.

I am a bright kid with a decent hiccup in my first attempt at adulting. I start college in January, majoring in business and minoring in music. That is two more months of toughing it out before my lease is up and I can get out of this money trap I call home. I am in desperate need of $450 by November 1st to avoid eviction. I do not have a place to go or warm clothes to wear if I get kicked out and really want to avoid being homeless.

Thank you to everyone who may take the time to consider helping a disadvantaged young man out. Lord knows I could use someone looking out for me.

Sincerely,

Hadrian Rice

SOS- Save Our Storage Unit- At Risk of Losing ALL Life Belongings On October 30th!

Intro:

In 6 days I could lose ALL my life’s possessions and pray you will donate to help save valuable items that have significance in my life and give my future kids a chance to see their fathers life through the stories that accompany each item.

I ask you all to continue reading to understand who I am, what items I may lose, the meaning behind them, why I am in this situation, when I need to receive the funds by and where you can donate (here)

Who:

My name is Brandon Clark and I am 30 years of age. I love to surf, do yoga, play soccer, spend time with friends, help others, and spend time in nature. I grew up surfing in my small beach hometown and was raised by my grandma. My mom and father both passed away when I was young and was an only child. I always have been very generous with my time and money and am passionate and positive and fun to be around.

What & Why:

I moved to San Fransisco about a year ago to start a new life and had a wonderful job, a wonderful place, and things were going well! I have always been a hard worker, paid my way through college and have been employed and financially stable. I lost my job because the company I worked for could not keep anyone on payroll and shut their doors in February 2018. Shortly after, I went on disability so I still had money coming in but even then more money was going out and I moved out of my place 3 months later and put the bulk of my things in a storage unit because I have been staying with friends since.

My medical condition has prevented me from taking on full time work and with my disability coming to an end I am in a terrible financial situation with overdue bills, my cell phone getting shut off, selling my computer and more. I have been applying for jobs and expect to have one in the next 30 days but that does not help my immediate situation.

With all my bills and financial situation, the most important and one that I care about more than anything else is saving my items in my storage unit because those are replaceable. I can get a new computer (if you are willing to donate for this or donate one please let me know, it is how I will be able to start working again),

I have art that my 92 year old grandmother has given me, my own artwork and paintings, clothing, letters from my mom who is now dead, surfboard I bought for myself at age 7, statues, buddhist singing bowls, pre 1900 incense holders from Japan and Tibet, and I have a beautifully made cross, my mother who passed away when I was 4 years old, jewelry is in there…. I can keep going but I think you probably understand how I am feeling. Close your eyes and think about the feeling you would have if you were about to lose all your material life in one instance.

You will be providing me with so much more than the material goods but memories and joy that are accompanied by these items and also my kids one day will be able to see these items and have a story to accompany them which will allow them to get to know there father more!

When:

Date I need to move out of my current storage unit is 1st of October. 

I ask you to consider donating any amount you can so I can have the gift of keeping my possessions and appreciate you taking the time to read this.

Currently I have an overdue balance (see current storage bill below) and as a result they have asked me to leave by the 1st of the month. As a result I need money for the following amount.

  • Charges at my current storage facility $110
  • Moving charges and fees $50-$100
  • New storage facility move in cost and 1 month of rent $150
  • Possible unknown costs $30

    Total: $400

Any remaining or left over/extra costs I will be either using for the next month at my storage unit or I will be donating it to a charity or giving it to my grandmother.

If you cannot donate please share with 10 people and spread the word. If you have any questions please do reach out to me directly and I will provide you with any info, answers or whatever is needed.

 

Thank you all for your generous donations and willingness to help others.

Sincerely,

 

Brandon

Getting Evicted and No Family Nearby

Well I feel so bad asking for money here but I know that if I would read one of these stories and I was doing okay working full time I’d most likely give as much as I could. So my bad luck began when my mom passed away in 2006 and that same day I met this guy who I thought since we were both in our 40’s he’d be ready to settle down and we could retire together and live a happy comfortable life. Well he asked me to to move up here with him which was 3 hours away but I thought well it should be okay but I guess the pressure of work and taking care of his mom and our household which I do help pay most household bills but he pays for the mortgage which I am not on the contract because my credit is no good. So to make a long story short he now wants me out and is going to have to evict me because I have no where to go and don’t know anybody here. But the reason why I’m asking it’s because this all happen yesterday when we had to put our old dog Zoe down. He brought her and her mom when we came . The mom lived a long live and so did Zoe over 20 years each. I am so depressed and to top it all off I caught him talking to some female last night which just killed me ! I don’t want to go back and become a burden to my family but I need money to rent my own place and stay up here. I do caregiving and was working full time until my client died in July now just looking every day for a new one. I am collecting unemployment and working part time but it’s not enough for rent and or deposit. I thank whoever reads this and God Bless🙏🏼

Need Help With First and Last’s.

I am not entirely sure how to put this into 400 or more words, but basically in the summer I got really sick mentally. I was unable to go to work and due to the fact I work at a telecom call centre, where my job is essentially to get yelled at over things I cannot control, my stress and overall depression from my job caused me to have a huge nervous breakdown that I am still recovering from but I think I’ll be okay.

The kicker is that because of the breakdown I had and because the nurse practitioner I see to replace my former doctor (he retired) doesn’t see my breakdown as severe when it really was (I was totally mute for a month and a half and eating would make me instantly throw up), no paper work was sent to my workplace’s HR and I did not get paid at all in July or August. My landlord has run out of patience and if I do not come up with 2,300 (2 month of rent @ 950 + 2 NSF fees @ 100 + $200 owing from trying to clean up Augusts’s rent). The image I have attached is a rent receipt that I received that indicated 2 month’s of rent + 2 nsf fees +99.70 extra (which is inaccurate, we did the math together it should be an additional $200).

The reason I am asking for help is because even with being back to work again starting next week, I am very behind on things like phone and internet (which are essential for trying to find a new apartment that is more cost effective, as well as scheduling therapy appointments), and utilities and hydro. I really need to get caught up so I don’t lose my home, my parents will not take me back in as they feel that anybody over 18 is automatically supposed to fend for themselves and none of my friends have room for me. I’m 22 years old and I never once in my life thought I’d go through such a huge breakdown like I did.

Please help! I could use anything. I’m so stressed out.

Sorry for the graphic image. Well my situation started last summer of 2017 when my father got sick from an infection on his foot. We took him to the hospital and found out he also had diabetes which made things a lot worse. They couldn’t control the infection and he ended having to get his left leg amputated. He doesn’t have health insurance so my family had to get somehow gather money just to help my dad. We got him a wheelchair and a prosthetic leg. I lived with my dad but after all this happened he moved in with my brother. He lives in a single home with his family. I decided to stay at the apartment that I lived in with my dad. I had to take over all the bills. Rent, Electric, internet, car payment, insurance and phone bill. I’ve been struggling all year to make ends meet. This summer 2018 things got worse. He had an ingrown nail on his right foot which got infected and out of control. The reason it got out of control was because he didn’t have any blood circulation on his right foot so the ingrown nail was never going to heal. They tried everything but couldn’t save it. He lost his right leg as well knee down. Again we had to gather money just to help him. So my situation went from bad to worse. He’s my dad and I’m going to do everything in my power to help him even if that means give him my last dollar. Now I’m literally on my last dollar having to pay all these bills by myself. It’s a hard situation and stressful. I feel like there’s no one I can go to for help. Everyone in my family have to deal with their money problems. I’m behind on my rent and I’m about to be on my second month behind with nothing to do. I don’t wanna get evicted and I’m trying everything to prevent that. I live paycheck to paycheck. I just need help even if it’s a little help. I’m not a scammer. I can send prove. I am not here to rip people off. If I ever get the money back I promise to try and pay part of it. If anyone is reading this please help. I’ve never been this low in my life. Thank you very much and God bless. I have cash app:  juanmartinezcr7

I came out of a very bad domestic violence situation and moved where my ex partner could not find us, but now my landlord has given me 2 weeks to leave the property even though he takes nearly all my wage to pay him. Even though I am back at work and trying to pay arrears off. I have no one I can turn to help without my ex finding us. I have suffered severe depression for around 30 years now and when things built up felt like ending it all but the thoughts of my children stop me because they have no one else. I am desperately pleading with any one who can help me  just get my life back on track I would be eternally in debt to them, I can only afford to feed my children 1 time a day. Which rips my heart out. We have no luxuries and never have done we just live plain and simple. I am £5000 in debt in total that’s from rent and bills. Please could someone find it in there heart to help us. Thank you and God bless you all.

In danger of eviction

Hi, my name is Gabriel. I am a college student in California studying aerospace engineering. I am unemployed and have no steady source of income. The last two months I have not been able to pay my rent, and have been given a pay or quit eviction notice by the landlord. I have exhausted my own personal saving trying to pay off the amount I owe, but it only lowered it to $1,200. I have no other way of paying this sum. If I get evicted I have no where else to go. My financial aid does not cover my housing expenses. I have to pay by today at 5 pm, I will have to beg my landlord to give me more time. I am desperate with no other options. I am not eligible for loans because of my unemployment and lack of credit history. I have only barely started my life and I am already struggling so much. I am embarrassed to even be asking for money on here. I never thought I would ever have to do this. This is a very stressful situation for me on top of the school work that I have to get done. I do not have time to get a job because of my classes and club activities. I have not bothered to tell my friends because I am too ashamed of the situation I am in, and I hardly think they would be able to help me with the rent and tuition that they are paying as well. I have a plan to pay my future rent for the months that follow, but it won’t help me for what I owe at the moment. Please, anyone, I am in serious danger of eviction. If I get evicted it would impair my ability to go to my classes and I’d likely end up dropping out. And I can’t drop out, college is the only way I can make a stable future for myself. I waited until the last minute to ask for this, I hoped that I could find another way, but I couldn’t. I really appreciate any donations that anyone can make. If all goes well I will never have to ask for another donation ever again. Again I owe $1,200. Words can’t express my gratitude. I will link my paypal below, and thank you for hearing my story.

Sincerely, Gabriel

Experiencing a series of unfortunate events!!! Please help single mom of young autistic son…

I’m not sure where to begin, so I guess I’ll begin from about a year ago. I left a very toxic relationship of 18 years to move to Maryland to gain access to the extraordinary resources available for my youngest son. He was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2 and is non-verbal. Maryland is home to some of the best therapeutic schools, research centers and treatment facilities in the country. I knew if I was going to give my son a fighting chance at life, I’d have to leave rural Virginia and move to where he’d receive the best care. And so I did. I got him a scholarship into one of the best private pre-k programs for children with speech delays. I called and called until I got him on the schedule for therapy services at the top ranked treatment and therapy center in the country. I got my 7 yr old daughter into charter Montessori school. I’ve spent the past year shuffling around a big city with 2 young children securing resources alone. Their father “does what he can” but provides little to no support in any capacity. Fast forward to the past summer—The car that I received as sort of a “Palimony Gift” broke down while on my way to my on-demand courier job. I was subsequently fired for not making it to my shift. The car is still parked in the same spot (hopefully) because I have no money for towing or to get it serviced. Since losing my source of income, I’ve now fallen behind in rent and am facing eviction. The apartment I live in is not the best environment for my son (or family) to begin with. I have the most inconsiderate upstairs neighbors who stomp, slam, bang, and otherwise make loud thuds so much that my son covers his ears in shrieks. He once woke from a loud bang from above and started crying hysterically. I complained to the leasing office, police, etc. but all my complaint has resulted in me being harassed at my door step by the neighbor and her cousin and threatened with a drive-by. So maybe being evicted wouldn’t be so bad. But I still need a home for my children. And that’s why I’m here on this site. I’m in desperate need of funds to either halt eviction or move (preferably) and car repairs (possible head gasket). I have no one else to turn to as far as family or friends. Plus I’ve found that the kindness of strangers is more reliable anyways. So thank you for reading this thus far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

The Fox Family

Please find it in your heart to read our story.

we are the Fox Family, here is our story.  We are currently homeless staying where anywhere we can.  My name is Holly I am 30 years old and my husband his name is Anthony and he is 25 years old. We have two toddlers our first born son AJ just turned three years old on July 16th 2015 and our daughter Miss Athena just turned two years old on July 27th 2016. We have been having it really rough for the past 4 months trying so hard to get jobs, we still to this present day go-to workforce development center to apply for jobs, it’s really hard to get a job in ironton ohio.. We got evicted from our home on October 1st, 2018. Since then we have had to walk up and down the streets of Ironton, Ohio all gours of the day and cool off at Briggs library and let our kids play in ironton. Our clothes and belongings are in Storage. We walk there everyday to get a change of clothes and food for us. I cried so hard on our eviction date because we walked out of our home and had to leave our refrigerator,tables, some kids toys, our beds, air conditioner, couch. It was heartbreaking so bad because our babies don’t deserve this. I begged our landlord to let us make payments and she said no she can’t. Many nights me and Anthony would sit up and cry because our little babies dont deserve to be homeless on the streets. Our son AJ  can’t hear to well he is going deaf like me his mommy. Our daughter Athena loves to sing just like our little boy. There daddy and myself have went to the Ironton Ohio welfare office and they said they can’t help us with a housing voucher and the Ironton CAO can’t help with housing either because we don’t have jobs. And the Ironton City Mission only will let us stay for 10 days and then we can’t stay there after that. We have no vehicle, no house. We pray to God every day that he will help and bless our family and keep us safe always.

We really need help financially, and anything would be a blessing.

Help With Eviction

I want to start by saying thank you for taking the time out and reading my post..

I am a single female with 2 children facing eviction for rental arrears in the amount of $6,000 and wage garnishment for State taxes owed in the amount of $8000( NY State).

Over the past couple of years its been  a downward financial battle for me:

July 2013- I was a layoff due to company downsizing.  After  the lay-off I was able to collect unemployment in the amount of $405.00 (weekly max for NY residents). The $1620.00 a month only covered my portion of the rent which was 1250.00 (rent 2500.00 a month) and utilities. I was barely able to feed myself and my children. I did not qualify for food stamps because my unemployment exceeded the allowable income for a family of 3.  This is when my life took a turn for the worst. All my bills got behind and I have been trying to play catch up ever since.

April 2014 – 8 months after  I was layed off I found a temp job paying 18.00 dollars an hour. I worked very hard and the company brought me on permanent Jan 2015.  I thought all was looking up and I was getting a fresh start and I could catch up on my bills (credit cards, student loans, tax obligations, etc), but  in Feb 2018 I had to go out on short term disability for Thyroid Surgery and in May 2018 my roommate decided to move out without notice  oweing 5 months  of her portion of the rent (6000.00). On top all everything that has gone wrong in my life now NYS finance is garnishing my job every pay period for 300.00.

If I don’t give my landlord 6000.00 on 10/2 me and my kids will be evicted immediately as per our court stipulation. I have been in court since April 2018 my roommate promised to pay the stip order but she just bailed on me. I tried to talk to my landlord but he want me to pay $3605.00 a month until the $6000.00 in arrears is paid. I only bring home $3,800.00 after taxes.

I am a hard working single parent. My children father does not reside with us nor does he provide financial support because he is terminally ill.

Please if you read my request find it in your heart to help me and my family.

Sincerely,

Internally Grateful

My landlord is going to kick us out in the next month

(Este texto tem tradução em português mais abaixo)

Hello, my name is Miguel and I´m writing here also in the name of my family, Catarina, my wife and Simão our 2 years old boy.

We need desperately to find a situation that prevent us from going to live on the streets or for some shed without any hygiene conditions. And this is because our landlord decided to put us out of home claiming that he sold the house to someone and we have to get out fast until the end of October.

In December 2017 we decided, after almost 3 years of deliberations, to move out from the city (Lisbon, Portugal) and go to the countryside. In this beautiful village in the deep interior of Portugal there was a permaculture project, and a community starting to gather to fulfill part of our dreams, just there awaiting for us. Things went terrible wrong and we have not found anything we expected, the person responsible for this gathering, and who we taught was our friend, turned out to be a mischieving person who just wanted us there to work for her. There were nobody else there, no community, and we alone would be working for her while she sat down comfortably somewhere in London just waiting for things to be done and then come to Portugal and kick us out of here.

Meanwhile we are here in this village taking care of our son without any help from anyone. We´ve been living in the house of this lady (landlady) that rented it to the London person. We have been dividing the expenses for the rent. Everything else is our responsibility to pay. But I am the only one who can work right now and there is almost no work in this region of Portugal.Well there are work to do but requires long trips to go to work and it has to be with our own car. There are almost no public transportation and the ones that work only do small trips once a day. I don´t have money to spent on gas this way because what I would earn would go literally 75% to support this travels.

I´m working as a waitress in big weddings on the weekends, and the money I get there is almost enough to cover all our expenses. But right now we have a small rent (we pay half of the rent along with the other London person) that allow us to manage things almost in a surviving mode but enough to have always food on the table. We spent a lot of money in gas anytime we need to buy something (we have to go to the city) or for me to go to work.

Conclusion: We need money to get out of this house, this village, and move to another house probably in the closest city and near my job, and where probably we have other possibilities to turn this situation we´re living into something positive. I´ve been sick for the last two months derived of the stress and anxiety created by this heartless people that we had the misfortune to be surrounded by, and the knowing that my baby can suffer from all this without understanding nothing that is happening. Fortunately we have the good sense of keep him happy and away from this worries but if we can not resolve this situation (landlady does not give in to her decision) we are going to be in big troubles.

We need money to pay the next rent plus the bond, it´s usually the same value. It means that the cheapest house, and with minimal conditions for housing a baby, that we have been researching goes around 300€/350€. That means we have to pay 600€/700€ immediately when we enter our new home, plus the expenses from the home moving.

We need 1000€ and we probably will have only 125€ in the beginning of October.

Please help us with whatever you can. Anything from one cent to whatever you want, or can give, is going to make all the difference for us. It´s just this we want to start putting our lives back into the tracks and look for better chances.

We appreciate your interest in this request for help and we will be forever grateful for your participation.

I wish you all the best in my name and in the name of my family.

Kind regards

Miguel

Portuguese Translation:

Olá, o meu nome é Miguel e estou a escrever aqui também em nome da minha família, Catarina, minha companheira e o Simão nosso bébé de 2 anos.

Precisamos desesperadamente de encontrar uma situação que nos impeça de ir morar para a rua ou por alguma casa sem condições de higiene. E isto pode ser possível porque a nossa senhoria decidiu nos colocar fora de casa, alegando que vendeu a casa a alguém e que temos que sair rápido até ao final de outubro.

Em dezembro de 2017 decidimos, após quase 3 anos de deliberações, sair da cidade (Lisboa, Portugal) e ir para o campo. Nesta bela aldeia no interior profundo de Portugal, havia um projeto de permacultura e uma comunidade começando a reunir-se que iria realizar parte de nossos sonhos, aqui á espera por nós. As coisas correram terrivelmente mal e não encontrámos nada do que esperávamos, a pessoa responsável por este encontro, e quem nós pensámos ser nossa amiga, acabou por ser uma pessoa maldosa que apenas queria que nós trabalhássemos para ela. Não havia mais ninguém lá, nenhuma comunidade, e nós iríamos estar a trabalhar sozinhos para ela enquanto ela se sentava confortavelmente algures em Londres apenas à espera que as coisas ficassem feitas para então vir para Portugal e nessa altura expulsar-nos daqui.

Enquanto isso, estamos aqui nesta aldeia cuidando do nosso filho sem a ajuda de ninguém. Nós temos vivido em casa desta senhora (proprietária) que a alugou para a pessoa de Londres. Nós temos dividido as despesas da renda. Tudo o resto é nossa responsabilidade de pagar. Mas eu sou o único que pode trabalhar agora e quase não há trabalho nesta região de Portugal. Bem, há trabalho disponível, mas requer longas viagens para ir trabalhar e tem que ser com o nosso próprio carro. Quase não há transporte público e os que existem só fazem pequenas viagens uma vez por dia. Eu não tenho dinheiro para gastar com gasolina dessa maneira porque do que eu ganharia 75% seriam para suportara gasolina dessas viagens.

Eu estou a trabalhar como empregado de mesa em grandes casamentos nos fins de semana, e o dinheiro que eu ganho lá é quase o suficiente para cobrir todas as nossas despesas. Mas isso éporque agora temos uma pequena renda (pagamos metade da renda junto com a outra pessoa de Londres) o que nos permite administrar as coisas quase em modo de sobrevivência, mas o suficiente para ter sempre comida na mesa. Gastamos muito dinheiro em gasolina sempre que precisamos comprar algo (temos que ir para a cidade) ou para eu ir trabalhar.

Conclusão: Precisamos de dinheiro para sair desta casa, desta aldeia, e mudar para outra casa provavelmente na cidade mais próxima e perto do meu trabalho, e onde provavelmente temos outras possibilidades para transformar esta situação que estamos a viver em algo positivo. Eu tenho estado doente nos últimos dois meses, derivado do stresse e da ansiedade criados por estas pessoas sem coração que tivemos a infelicidade de nos fazermos cercados, e o conhecimento de que o meu bébé pode sofrer com todas estas mudanças sem entender nada do que se está a passar. Felizmente, temos o bom senso de mantê-lo feliz e longe destas preocupações, mas se não pudermos resolver esta situação (a proprietária não quer ceder na sua decisão), estaremos em grandes dificuldades.

Precisamos de dinheiro para pagar a próxima renda mais a garantia, geralmente é o mesmo valor. Isso significa que a casa mais barata, e com as condições mínimas para a vivermos com um bébé de forma digna, pela nossa pesquisa gira em torno de 300 € / 350 €. Isso significa que temos que pagar 600 € / 700 € imediatamente assim que entrarmos na nova casa, mais as despesas da mudança.

Precisamos de 1000 € e provavelmente teremos apenas 125 € no início de outubro.

Por favor, ajude-nos com o que você puder. Qualquer coisa, desde um cêntimo até ao que quiser ou puder dar fará toda a diferença para nós. É só isso que queremos para colocar as nossas vidas de volta no caminho certo e procurar por melhores  chances e hipóteses de vida.

Agradecemos o seu interesse neste pedido de ajuda e estaremos eternamente gratos pela sua participação.

Desejamos tudo de bom em meu nome e no nome da minha família.

Atenciosamente

Miguel

No where to go by tomorrow.

My name is Heather, I am a 31 year old mother of two young boys. My partners job is seasonal and has slowed down so much that we can barely afford to keep food on the table, let alone pay all the bills that need covered a month. Recently, he has started a new job in an auto shop but the kick start of that took a few weeks and it drastically changed our financial situation. It almost turned it upside down. We are at wits end with each other. I honestly feel like he hates me because I am a stay at home mom and now that we are struggling, it is my fault we don’t have enough for anything. Everything in my life has taken a toll, bills, family, and even my relationship. I have tried to stay strong for my children, as they don’t need the stress of a financial burden at such a young age. On Wednesday, our landlord came by and said that we needed to be out by Friday, which is tomorrow. He is not the most lenient landlord by any means but he is not expected to be, I am sure he hears all the excuses in the world of why people are behind on their rent. I have sold most of my expensive personal belongings and have came up with this past months rent which was 525.00, now all I need is another 525.00 to catch up everything by tomorrow. I have never been this stressed, scared and disappointed in myself ever. I am asking for financial help for rent and groceries, obviously rent comes first as I can visit local churches to help for food for the time being. I really need to make this happen by then end of the day tomorrow, otherwise me and my family will be forced out of our home. I never knew that they could come to your door and tell you that in two days you have to be out of the home. It is heartbreaking, and if it were just me I wouldn’t be as stressed, but I have two kids, and its hard enough keeping positive energy when their parents are constantly arguing. Please, I am literally on my knees begging at this point for help. I have no lifelines. I am asking for 525.00 to cover my rent, and I have worked up enough to pay for the rest of what I owed. Please, I have worked so hard but in such little time it doesn’t even matter.

Please Help Me!!!

Where do I start,  my name is Jennifer.  I’m a 43 yr old single woman just trying be independent again for the first time in 18 yrs so this kills me to have to ask for assistance.  I’m a bartender and have been at the same place for almost 19 yrs.  Shortly after I had to move and live alone again they cut my shifts down.  I’ve been trying to find another job that works around my schedule there but it has proven to be more difficult then I expected.  I’ve put in so many applications and most of them online because that’s just how it works anymore.  I’ve had a number of interviews and thought they went really well but apparently it well enough.  I feel I’m not hired due to the condition of my teeth.  I’m more than qualified in my profession but most places want a nice smile to be dealing with customers.  I was just offered a job so thats good but I  haven’t  gotten to start it yet.  I’ve fallen behind in my rent as I’ve been struggling for a while now.  My parents can’t help me.  I’ve saved my apartment from eviction once already and now am in a 2nd stipulation. I had to borrow from a not so reputable lender to stop the eviction a few months ago and have him breathing down my back right now too.  I’ve had to put extension on my gas bill but only until Friday and had my power shut off the other day so had to pay that out of what little money I had saved for my rent.   I need $1000 by tomorrow to save my apartment this month (now its going to be to find a new place to live before this eviction hits my credit which i fear it has most likely happened  now and moving expenses because I have no idea what I am going to do or BE ABLE to do) and $2500  to pay the lender back who has been showing up at my job and harassing me messing with other people in my life.  Every week that goes by is an extra $100 he charges.  I borrowed $2000 from him and he charged $500 plus $100 a week after his due date.  I’ve already given him $300 but am now back up to $2500 again.

I can’t take the stress anymore.  I have high blood pressure,  no insurance and am out of my medication.  I have multiple ER bills for going due to my blood pressure and I’m scared I’m about to have a stroke or heart attack.  I can’t get a loan because my credit has gone to hell.   I can’t keep up this stress and have no where to go and no means to move if I lose my apartment.  I’ll lose everything and be homeless.  I don’t qualify for or have the time even if I did for state assistance.

  My car is a total lemon mechanically and cosmetically,  I’ve had to put so much $ into it and now the transmission is going and I need 2 more new tires as they’re about blow.  I’m scared every time I go to drive it  otherwise I’d be doing uber and delivery services I’ve signed up for during my spare time. But need to renew my insurance and think my license might now be suspended.

I’m  at my wits end!!!! I’ve been breaking down every night and am usually so strong and the one everyone turns to for help or a place to crash if they need some time to get back on their feet but now I’m the one who needs help needs and I can’t take the stress anymore!!  It’s literally going to kill me!  Please please please help me!!! !!!! ! I just want to be OK and sleep at night without the nightmares and being terrified every day!!!  I’m at the end of my rope!!!!  Anything would be so graciously appreciated and will and do always pay forward when I can!

College Student

I am a college student who works part time. My family is going through a really tough time so I have no financial help. My mother was pregnant and had my younger sister 8 weeks early a couple days ago. During that time she lost a lot of blood and they were scared she might not make it. I flew back immediately which was my rent money. She had a blood transfusion and end up recovering beautifully. Thank God. I’ve never been late on my rent before and I got a notice saying I had 7 days to pay the $502 or I would be evicted. Please I’m asking if someone could please help me! I only make about 300 a week and this is midterm week as well so I’m cutting my study time down so I can work more hours unfortunately. I’m praying that someone sees this and God puts it on your heart to be a blessing. I just want to be ok so I can continue to pursue my degree without being homeless.

Overwhelmed with debt

Hello Good Samaritans,

My name is  Dodie, and I am writing this message to everyone who will have the time to read asking for a bit of your help regarding my situation. I am currently in financial distress. I am in the verge of being evicted because I am behind on my rent for 2 months now. It all started when I lost my job on the summer of 2016 and only relying on my income on unemployment insurance. I worked as a nanny and does not earn much. I am the only one working as my husband is sick and does not have any medical insurance . Every time he visit the doctor the expenses are all coming out from our pocket. In spite of this, I still able but struggling to pay off my rent, so I got into the cycle of borrowing from payday loans. I also borrowed from my close friends but I can only do it once as they have also family to support. Aside from this, I am also supporting my mother who have diabetes and does not have any medical insurance as well. I got overwhelmed with all these responsibilities that sometimes I just sit in one corner and not knowing what to do and  my tears starting to pour. It is so bad that my husband and I argues a lot. I went  and ask for help in the county where I am residing but was turned down on the basis of I have too much debt. I plead my case and told my case worker how come you were able to help people that comes in this country clothed them, give them place to live, credit cards to spend, send their children to school and they have not pay a single tax in this country and I am here a responsible individual, no conviction and good citizen of this country, paying my taxes and just for this time asking for one time help with my rent you cant lend your hand. They said  that what  happened to me is the result of being not responsible with my finances. I left their office with a heavy heart and feeling so alone and don’t know what to do. I went to library and search for people with financial difficulty asking help from people who can lend their hand and I got into this website.  Please help me.

Thank you for reading my message and any amount that you can spare big or small is much appreciated from the bottom of my heart and knowing that there’s still goodness  and kindness in human heart.

God bless you all and may we find peace in our hearts always.

First I would like to say if I dont collect a penny through this site I am very thankful to God and the powers that be for even making something like this available for people in need. I am brought here because I am a 48 year old Women who has lived a very full life and have had a dream job to be able to travel the world. Unfortunately on one of those trips I was bitten by a mosquito and ended up hospitalized for weeks with something like Malaria this ended that career when I lost part of my right lung which would be sustainable but along with having Systemic Lupus placed me on disability which I have learned to live with I work a part time job now in a food chain restaurant and because I went over the amount that disability allows by four dollars yes I said four dollars they Disability took away my check for the month of September I have been struggling trying to get my rent together and pay bills because of $4 they took an entire check I depend on to put a roof over my head. I had to slow down working the serving job hoping that they will reinstate the check for October. I have been working since I was 16 years old I would rather work and pay my way right now I stuck and was directed to this site just by a general web search trying to figure this out, $2000.00 would pay my rent and late fee along with catching up on late bills. I am willing to take a leave from work if someone need a housekeeper, Personal Assistant, Shopper, Ecen a House Sitter to work for the assistance I am willing to do that. For the person that is willing to help I can assure you that I am the pay it forward person. If someone would like to reach out to verify my story I encourage it.

Eviction, Mental Health Emergency and Dog Boarding

toddles.jpg I’m in a pretty terrible situation right now. I am looking to check into a mental health facility because I’m in a very poor mental health state right now and honestly require in patient treatment. While my job is willing to work with me and give me the time I need, I am also getting evicted for reasons related to my mental health issues. I live with a friend and don’t have a formal lease. I’ve been paying $500 a month, but things have gotten to a point where I will be evicted in a few weeks. I have a dog and am a dog trainer (Tod is pictured above). If I have to, I will find a home for him, but I would very much like not to have to do that. He’s my best friend, and I would like to raise money for both a security deposit when I get out and to board Tod somewhere while I am in patient at the hospital. I want to stay at the store where I work because I like it and the people there, but I don’t have a car, making my apartment choices limited. I have found some relatively low cost ones, but I need to come up with that security deposit money as well. I don’t think I’m entitled to anyone’s money at all. This was just somewhat sudden on top of my decision to check in to a hospital as well. I just really need help. The boarding and the security deposits and the potential pet fees are stacking up, and I was not saving in anticipation of all of this. So, if anyone can help, I would be so grateful. I can’t pay you back, and I’m so sorry for that. But I’m at a breaking point and don’t know what to do without anyone to really help in the immediate area where I live. Thank you even for considering this. I appreciate that.

Eviction Threat

My name is Brittany, and I just moved to California to follow my dreams, and to find healing. I have Lupus and I’m currently on dialysis. I knew Cali was the place for me, but I didn’t know it would be so rough starting out here. I’m aware of how expensive it is here, but I didn’t think I would lose my job so fast. Unfortunately I was layed off literally 2 weeks after moving into my studio apartment mid August 2018. I live in Canoga Park, CA and I’m about to be evicted if I can’t come up with the money to pay for rent in full for this month (September), next month (October), and court fees. I currently only have $800, and my rent is $1484 a month for a studio apartment. The total I owe for this month of September 2018 is $1562.61(including water, sewage, and late fee). I will have to pay $1562.61 plus $1484 plus court fees. I was told today, 9/22/18 that they sent my case to the legals and that I will be evicted if I can’t get the money. Now I have a new job and haven’t had enough time to work to save enough to be able to pay rent. My last job also did not pay me my last check, and that’s what really hurt me financially. Anything helps, I really don’t want to be homeless and I just moved here. There are very little resources here that will help at all for people like me. I appreciate all who take the time to read or donate. Thanks!

Single mom with 6 year old son facing homelessness. Scared and have never been in this predicament!

Hello…

This is very hard to write as I’ve never been in this situation, I was always able to help others. I am going through a horrible, unexpected divorce and trying to fend for my 6 year old son and I. I injured myself at work, never ever have before, and am currently on 60% of my income. Not only do I have the decrease, I am missing a second income, including my original rent money due to it being taken from my spouse I’m divorcing. I received paperwork for an eviction but can do a stipulation to avoid this. I need help. As embarrassing as this is, facing the humility is worth it because my son doesn’t deserve to not have a roof over his head. I cannot look into his eyes and let him down. I’ve contacted local resources, however, since I have an income I do not qualify for any program or assistance. The ones I do qualify for (2) are out of funds.  I am in need of $1500 to stop this eviction. Now I know this doesn’t fix my issue all the way, but since I know I will be on my income only, I will be able to cut corners and budget for that. I won’t be in this predicament the following month…but I’m so scared. I need help. And fast. I’m hoping someone out there will help us avoid sleeping on the streets in the PNW.  I’ve come a long way in life and honestly at this time have been dealt a very bad hand.  I am begging at this point…I did not expect this and am so incredibly embarrassed. I also have no family here in Washington. Please help us.

We all go through hardtimes

I am writing my story to reach out to someone, and or many. We all go through hardships at some in life, and we all need someone to lean on during those times. This is my time. I got behind on my rent, I was out of work for a month do to an accident, which called my bills to back up, and the money to be slowly coming in. I am now facing eviction. My child, and I do not have anywhere to go if it goes that route. I am back at work, yet my landlord doesn’t want to wait for the money. He’s already filed court proceedings which will take place next week. I am swallowing my pride, and reaching out to at least someone for help. If you can find it in your heart to help us that would be greatly appreciated. Whatever donations you can sow into our lives we will be forever grateful. I need 2,000 to keep a roof over our heads or we will be going to a shelter. We all make mistakes. I am human, and I do not want my child to suffer the most.

Can someone please help us! Please! Paypal.me/Godsgrace8

Currently we are in need of help to cover rent for just this one late month and will help get us back on our feet .

When Life Kicks You In The Face

Hello, my name is Ivan, I’m almost 30, and this is the lowest point of my life.
Recently, I’ve been down on my luck. I have lost my job, my wife left me, and I was forced to to move back home with my mother, who only works part-time. Since then, I’ve been struggling with part-time jobs, just trying to survive through the hard times.
I must say, the manual labor in a third-world country is no fun. Working 14 hours shifts every single day, sometimes more, with no protection, or health insurance, in a case of an accident.  But, after a while, I got used to it, we started saving some cash and things started looking up for me. But, then again, life punched me in the face, and it punched hard. I got almost deadly ill due to not having adequate work protection, and because what my mother made barely covered medical expenses, bills started pilling up.
Now that I am finally healthy again, I’m back to work, and making some money, but due to bills, electric and water supply companies are threatening us with court action and and shutting down the supplies.
And here comes the part where I have to ask any kind soul for the desperate help we need. It is funny how we always say that when you’re down, you find out who is really your friend. The sad truth is, when you hit rock bottom, everyone looks the other way.
So, I have to hope that there is at least someone out here willing to help.
Now, the good, and the sad thing about our bills is that our country is really poor, so, the unpaid bills for seven months, for electricity, water, and similar expenses turn out to be a little under thousand dollars, with the current exchange rate. The bad thing is, with our current income, we would need about a year to repay that.
The total amount of money that we have to pay right now is 97.872 dinars, or, when you change it to dollars, it is somewhere around $950. For comparison how of how much that is to us, the two of us made around $180, combined. And that is without all the expenses, like food, or drinkable water, or basic hygiene products. So, as you can see, we are in a really bad place right now. Not to mention that, if we end up in court, we will probably lose the house, as well as any last bit of hope we still have.
So please, if there is anyone willing to help,

Last ditch effort

Hello my name is Antonio. I am a husband and father of 3 wonderful kids who don’t deserve the agony I am about to endure.  I got a call from my wie saying we received an eviction letter today saying that we have 5 days to vacate. Not what I needed to hear while driving home. She has never received such a letter before so she’s devastated. And of course my kids don’t know. My situation is probably the same as many. I was let go of a job that I actually moved to be closer to. Knowing that they still let me go. But things happen so I am not bitter and am over it. Finding another job was tough but I got hooked up with a temp agency.  Pay is not great but it’s steady work.  I also got another fulltime job at one of the theme parks but I have yet to start. Actually Friday I have orientation but it came to late. I also do food delivery so I am busy but just couldn’t make enough to catch up. I don’t know if staying here is an option seeing as I have this notice but at the same time moving is difficult having an eviction on my record.  Believe me i really don’t like asking for help and I would rather be the one helping out, but I am at the end of my rope and this is a desperate attempt for me to get back on track.  Having googled “help with eviction ” and it sent me to this site. Hopefully god willing this might be the financial help we need. Thank you all in advance and be blessed. Paypal.me/Masskids

2 weeks to move

I’m asking for help to pay for moving expenses for my family and myself. My husband is blind and a stay at home dad to our two children, who are 8 and 2. I’m a manager for a well known auto parts company for the last 12 years. We have lived in the same rental trailor for over 8 years. Rent has consistently gone up. We live off of my pay of about $1000 every 2 weeks and his disability check of $752 per month. We’ve been denied survivors benefits for our children and since my husband was only 21 when he lost his sight, his assistance is as high as it will ever get. We live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to get by. Rent is always paid tho. Our landlord has decided to close his park and has only given us 2 weeks to find another place. I’ve found a place in the same school district for $850 a month, which is perfect…but they need first and last month’s rent, application fees, and security deposit up front. The total to move in is $2350. We currently don’t have any of it. We can’t ask our parents for help. My father has passed. My mother has scerosis of the liver and is hospitalized frequently. His mother has Parkinson’s and his father has stage 4 cancer. None of them are in a position to help. I have no idea where to turn or who to ask. I figure there’s no harm in asking here. I have to find a way before my family ends up homeless. Any help or advice is so greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

DITCHED BY ROOMMATE – EVICTION SOON PLEASE HELP

Hello, not sure how to start this so I’ll just jump right into it. My name is Christen and I am a full time student at UNT, and I live in an apartment in Denton at the moment. I am 23 years old and I work part-time at the grocery store ALDI. I come from an extremely poor family so I am already paying for my schooling myself. No one else could help with that at all. My mom is currently battling brain cancer so there’s no way I could ask my family for anything. My brother is the one helping her pay for everything since my dad is gone, and that already robs them of all their income. I am trying to finish school and pay it off so that I can get a better paying job to help my mom out. Right now I make just enough each month to barely pay off all of my bills as it is, so things were already stressful for me. I also already have anxiety, depression, and diabetes medications that I have to afford each month on my own, but sometimes I am not able to purchase them when I really need them because of my financial situation. So I am completely at a loss now. I was living in an apartment with two other girls, but one just completely ditched us and left without any warning on Friday. Now we have no way of contacting her for her portion of rent. The apartment employee didn’t ever get ahold of her either. So now we have to pay her $400 portion ourselves, even though we have no means to do so. Understandably we are extremely scared and stressed My roommate and I have been struggling to scrape together some money to cover it the past few days, but we still need $225 by tomorrow or we will have to pack up and leave. I really need to stay here because my schooling depends on it. I have severe anxiety and depression and this is all causing me too much agonizing stress to deal with. I don’t really know what to do honestly. I really don’t want to be homeless, so I am trying everything I possibly can. I’ve never asked for money on any site like this but I am hoping someone will see this and be able to help me out. I could even work out a way to pay you back if that is needed! Thank you and bless you endlessly if you are able to help at all!

May you find help with your struggles everyone.

Everything falling apart

Hello

I never thought I would end up in a situation where I would have to ask for charity but I see no other choice, I am 37 y/o and have  Bipolar disorder,  I´ve been out of work for three months now,  I couldn’t afford healthcare anymore so I run out of medicine  and recently I had to go through emergency cause I   had a manic crisis from which I´m still recovering.  I have a beautiful daughter with my ex GF, she´s two 1/2 years old, we separated last November  after almost 3 years of tolerating abuse , she is very manipulative, psychologically violent  and I would dare to say a liar in a  sociopathic level, I  had to break up with her because she hit me during a fight, and now that I´ve been struggling to recover from the breakup, months of depression and recent mental breakdown,  she has taken advantage of my economical and health situation by lying and trying to burry me legally accusing me of being violent person, which is totally false, she took my daughter  to another city without my permission, I haven´t seen her in almost a month, and  got some very nasty documents from court.  I recently spoke to her and she tried to blackmail me asking me for money. On the other hand  I am just about to get evicted cause I cannot pay for my rent anymore, I´ve been trying to sell my art online, look for customers, sell stuff I have but I´ve had no luck and I can´t afford any legal services to solve the situation,  nor time. I really don´t want to feel like I´m a victim of this situation but I don´t really see any hope any close,  some money could  really be of help right now.
