I have spent the last 15 years of my life working with children and young adults with mental health diagnoses, and those who have suffered from trauma that most could not imagine. They have taught me so much about life and what is important. It is priceless to see them make breakthroughs, however, it has never been a lucrative profession. I have struggled to make it through over the year, but we have always managed to keep our heads above water selling items on Ebay and driving for Uber. That is until the last few years. My fiance has become very sick and has not been able to work consistently for the last several years. He has had a head injury and very bad blood clots in his lower legs and lungs.
We finally applied for our dream apartment, which is rent-controlled at $1400 per month. Before COVID-19, rents in my area were closer to $700 – $800. As we are close to DC, when COVID hit everyone from those areas moved into my quaint little town ruining it for anyone who grew up here. When COVID hit, I was laid off from my job and unable to pay a credit card bill, which I thought had been written off. A few months ago, a huge garnishment was placed on my pay. This made it impossible to pay my bills. I will have to apply for bankruptcy, which is scary and frustrating. It seemed it could not get worse, but then I became ill as well. My fiance and I were both hospitalized at the same time. I was not able to save my job because of missed work, due to a lack of a credible diagnosis. We are now facing an eviction. We have one car because I hit two deer within a matter of 6 months. I don’t know the odds of this, but I have never heard of it. After I had the car fixed and paid the deductible twice, it died a month later. Our luck has been terrible. We are kind people who help others whenever possible. I do not understand this, but I know many have it much worse, so it is hard to ask for help. I am applying for new jobs and doing everything possible to make money. My fiance is just now able to work right now until they get his blood clots under control. We appreciate any help you can offer. We currently owe about $3,600 with rent and court fees. Have a wonderful 2025. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Once we are back on track, we will come back to help others.Blessings to all!
