For half a decade, my three children and I have called our modest apartment in Columbia, MD, our sanctuary. It has been our little haven, a place where we’ve laughed, cried, and shared cherished memories together. But fate had different plans, and our tranquility was shattered by the presence of a landlord who seemed to embrace the shadows, engaging in shady dealings that left us feeling vulnerable and distressed.

As if a malevolent magician, our landlord’s most callous act was yet to come. Around a year ago, he vanished from our lives without a trace, leaving us bewildered and abandoned. It was as if he fell off the face of the earth, leaving behind a trail of uncertainty and anxiety. Unable to grapple with the situation, we found ourselves facing an imminent threat to our home.

The heartache deepened as the bank took hold of our apartment, putting it up for auction in April of this year. The walls that once sheltered our laughter now felt like they were closing in on us, and the familiar corners now carried a sense of impending loss. A new chapter was forced upon us as new owners emerged, strangers who held the keys to our fate. They granted us a meager extension until the end of July to uproot our lives and start anew.

As a parent, my greatest wish is to provide a stable and loving environment for my children. However, life has dealt us a harsh blow, and I’ve been grappling with unemployment for the past six months. The mere thought of it ending soon fills my heart with fear and uncertainty. Despite my relentless efforts to secure employment, the job market has remained unforgiving, leaving me disheartened and struggling to find my footing.

In these uncertain times, I can’t help but wonder how we will find our way to a new home, a place where we can rebuild our lives. The mere thought of uprooting my children from the familiar surroundings they’ve known for years weighs heavily on my mind, making it difficult to think beyond the present moment.

Hopelessness threatens to consume me as I’ve yet to embark on the daunting task of searching for a new place. The financial burden of first month’s rent and a security deposit looms like an insurmountable wall. The prospect of not having a roof over our heads sends chills down my spine.

In this vulnerable state, I’m humbled to reach out to the compassionate hearts that may hear our plea. I pray that empathy will transcend the distance that separates us, and that kind souls might lend us a helping hand. Your support could be the lifeline that saves us from the precipice of despair and grants us the opportunity to breathe freely again.

With every fiber of my being, I pledge my undying gratitude to those who choose to stand by us in our time of need. Your generosity would not only provide a safe haven for my children and me, but it would also ignite a flame of hope that we could, one day, repay this kindness forward to others in need.

In the darkness of these uncertain times, I dream of a brighter future where we can overcome these hardships and emerge stronger, ready to embrace life’s challenges with newfound strength. May your compassion and support serve as a guiding light, illuminating the path towards a better tomorrow for my family. From the depths of my heart, I extend my sincerest appreciation for any aid you can provide.

To whom it may concern;

My name is Samantha I’m a single mother of two teenager and a young child. I recently have fallen into unfortunate circumstances. I don’t receive any government assistance because according to the government where I live, I make too much money.  I make over $13 an hour. I work hard I’m a full-time student and I am taking care of my mother who is legally blind dialysis patient who just had two heart attacks. Due to the fact that I was there for my mother when she was in the hospital I missed work. Because of  being there for my mother I have fallen behind my bills. I have tried to get emergency assistance, but I’m told that on average I make enough typically I don’t have a problem paying my bills however, at this point, I really need help. Currently I am in jeopardy of losing my home. My car my utilities have been turned off in my job. I work from home so that I can take care of my mother and my children. I’m doing the best that I can to stay above water however, right now I feel like I’m drowning in bills. To top it all off my birthday Sunday and I may end up losing my home before the first of the month which is only seven days later please help. Generally I wouldn’t ask for help but I really really need help right now. I’ve never done anything like this in my life, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Currently in order to pay all my bills that are behind I would need $3500. If There’s anyone out there that is willing to  help me please do.

I am employed for 3yrs and I became homeless due to a abusive relationship that I left. I was trying to be independent and I don’t want to be on the street i just need a little help with the outstanding amount. I am a good person i just cant afford the repairs of my vehicle and rent.

Hi. I come here because honestly I have exhausted every option that I know that I could possibly use for help and this is a last resort. Where do I begin? I recently started pursuing Nursing school and because I don’t qualify for much aid I am paying most of my tuition out of pocket.

Shortly after I began, my 68 year old mom was diagnosed with Breast cancer.  I was my mom’s main support so I took her to every appointment,  her surgery and all of her radiation appointments until she was finally rid of the cancer.  I picked up two jobs after so that I could continue to pay for school and help my mom pay her hospital bills.  I was holding on by a thread, but I was holding on until I missesd my car payment for 3 months and it was repossessed. I needed my car to get to school and work so I had to max out my credit card $1200 to get it out.  This ended up causing me to be unable to pay my rent at the time.  Soon after, I ended up getting laid off from my second job and only had once source of income. I started to Uber to try and alleviate my debt, but then my air conditioner when out in the middle of the longest heat wave on record, so I am unable to drive people because its between 90-110 degrees. I can now only do food delivery while driving around in 98 degree weather and that isn’t making enough.  I have continued to work my first job, but between paying for school and trying to keep up with basic needs, everything has gotten tight.  Meanwhile it seems like everything around me is breaking down. I am in the process of getting a new job, but then literally two days after my birthday (all of this was happening along with my bday coming up) I received this notice on my door. I now have to come up with $3100 by July 19th so that I’m not evicted.

I know I have a few issues going on, but I’m only asking to help me from losing my home.  I’m only a few months away from finishing Nursing school.  I just need to be able to finish school so I can finally start a career that would allow me to take care of myself and my family and to finally have some stability.  Any amount would helps. Nothing is too small. If you find it in your heart please send your assistance to https://www.paypal.me/moncherie87

I am a single mother of two beautiful toddlers, aged 3 and 4, facing a distressing situation and desperately seeking help. Recently, I received a job promotion that required me to travel out of town a few days every month. Initially, my ex-husband was supportive, but upon returning home from one trip, I discovered an empty house. My husband had vanished, taking our children, belongings, and leaving me in shock. He not only disappeared but also filed for divorce and requested full physical custody of our kids.

To prioritize my children’s well-being and not risk losing them, I made the painful decision to let go of the job I had worked so hard to obtain. As a result, I now find myself in a dire financial situation. I have no income, maxed-out credit cards, and mounting bills. I’m struggling to provide even basic necessities for my kids, and we’re barely scraping by with little food to eat. My life feels like it’s crumbling before my eyes.

Despite my efforts to find online income opportunities, I have had no luck so far. Additionally, my phone line has been suspended, and I recently received an eviction notice. My family members, instead of supporting me, have chosen to mock my predicament. I have nowhere else to turn for help, and the thought of ending up on the streets with my two young children is overwhelming.

In this desperate situation, I humbly request urgent assistance. To catch up on my mounting bills, including rent and utilities, I need approximately $4,500. This sum would alleviate our immediate financial burdens while I continue searching for employment and arranging childcare for my toddlers.

Any support, no matter how small, would be immensely appreciated. I have exhausted all avenues and am left with no viable options. The prospect of homelessness looms over us, and I am determined to provide a stable and secure future for my children. I am entirely dependent on the kindness and compassion of others during this trying time.

I write this letter with utmost sincerity and hope that it reaches someone who can offer assistance or guidance. My children and I are in dire need, and your help would mean the world to us. Thank you for taking the time to read my plea, and I remain hopeful that you can extend a helping hand to us in our time of need.

I have attached receipts to validate my request for help. Please help my children and I, save us from eviction.

Gratefully,

Hello my name is Linda I have my 3 grandkids ages 9,5,and 5 months old in my custody. Im almost 63 years old. Disabled. And low income. Being evicted for being behind on rent for 6 months and this is the surcumstances surrounding why it is happening. Our septic tank of our apartment backed up into our basement and I lost our washer and now I have to use the laundry mat. The smell from the raw sewage in our basement was so bad I had to keep the windows open with fans blowing out but the heat on when it was cold. My vehicle died and we live out in the country where there isn’t public transportation. Me and my grandkids have a lot of appointments especially my 9 year old who was sexually abused by her father who needs counciling every week and other mental health needs. So I had to go get a vehicle quick. I got a lawyer for the septic problem so that took money and the landlord went and started eviction proceedings. Their mother is working towards getting them back so I’m trying to keep them out of the system but if we’re evicted that’s where they’ll end up for sure… I’m all they got … all of us have suffered documented illnesses from the septic issue but nothing seems to give. Any help would do wonders for our family. They are amazing kids and I don’t want to see them hurt anymore than they have already been. Thank you.

Dear Kind Hearts,

I’m Dawn, a 38-year-old accountant turned divorce recovery guide, mother of two remarkable children (a 13-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy), and survivor of a tumultuous divorce seven years ago. Today, I find myself standing on the precipice of a new chapter, humbly asking for your assistance in our time of need.

My story begins with my grandfather’s legacy – an accounting firm – passed down through generations. There was always great honor in preserving this heritage, despite the arduous task of dealing with the IRS and the detail-oriented work that never truly suited my personality. Over time, through investments in hiring coaches and additional learning courses and programs to grow my firm and the challenges of trying to sustain an ill-suited business have landed us on the brink of eviction.

After selling my home and attempting to live off the profits, the sustainability of our lifestyle matched with an ill-suited business proved elusive. Yet, in the midst of this financial turmoil, I found my true calling. I discovered the power of emotional healing and self-growth after my divorce, a journey that was painfully difficult yet liberating. My resilience not only led me to a newfound sense of self but also unveiled a passion to guide others on a similar path.

Now, I aspire to become a beacon for divorced women battling heartbreak and emotional hurdles, teaching them to become emotionally open, in control, and present for their children and their daily lives. However, to transition into this new career, I first need to secure stable housing for my children and myself.

I am not asking for a handout but rather a hand-up, a chance to turn our lives around and empower other women. I am in urgent need of $50,000 to cover the past two and a half months’ rent, as well as the security deposit and the first month’s rent for a new place. A small portion of these funds will be utilized for minimalistic furniture, aligning with our simple lifestyle.

Your financial aid will not only help us avert homelessness, but it will also offer a lifeline to countless women who are struggling emotionally post-divorce, by facilitating my ability to coach and empower them. This is not just about me and my family, but about nurturing a community of strong, resilient women.

You can follow our journey and offer your support here:

Please, rest assured that each penny received will be a step towards building a more secure future for my children and giving a voice to those women who need it most.

I am forever grateful for your time, understanding, and generosity. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to a fresh start.

Blessings and strength,

Dawn
