Hello, my name is Dawn and I’m requesting financial assistance to cover my past due rent to avoid being evicted and help for an additional three to four months until I am financially secure again with full time employment.

I’ll share a little bit about my background over the past year and a half that is partially a factor in the importance to me to keep a roof over my head and a place to call home. I had been homeless for approximately 1 1/2 years since July of 2022 due being put out of a home I was renting without much notice when the owners decided to put the property up for sale.  Due to this unexpected event I became homeless and lost employment.  Luckily I had a vehicle that became my new home for a lot longer than I expected, but I was thankful.  Over the next several months I learned a lot about myself, my strengths and abilities I had forgotten I had, a different side of people and the limited resources available to a single woman with out any dependent children to care for. I didn’t have the best of luck with getting a good job or finding a decent place to rent so this was my life for many months. I feel God placed me on this journey for a reason and I would finish it out in His timing.  He was always there guiding me, helping me stay positive and not give up. The last 6 months I was blessed to stay with a friend at his apartment until it became infested with bedbugs and roaches, very inhabitable to the point he injured himself. After battling with his landlord he was ordered to leave so again, my vehicle became my temporary home.  Luckily, soon after I secured a good career allowing me to rent a room for a little over a month.  During this time I was able to save enough money for a deposit and first month’s rent for a place to call home.  After weeks of searching, I found a beautiful place that really caught my eye in a location I wanted to be and a landlord that was willing to work with me (due to being homeless my credit took a hit giving me a low score). The monthly rent was more than I ever wanted to pay, however, I had been homeless for so long I wanted to make it work. I looked at my budget and decided I could do it as long as I stayed within my budget. As mentioned, with me having bad credit I was approved, but with conditions meaning I had to pay the normal deposit that was more than rent, my first month’s rent, pet deposit, application cost and the condition being an additional month’s rent as a 2nd deposit. I had enough money saved for everything except the 2nd deposit so I pleaded with the new landlord to let me make payments on it. He finally agreed to 3 months of $700 for the first 2 months and $650 for the last month due on the 15th of each month. I paid over $5000 to move in the last few days of January. A side note, rent is due on the 25th of each month and late 7 days later so he states the 2nd of each month. I paid $700 on February 15th as agreed for one of my payments towards the 2nd deposit. The end of February came around and I planned on using the majority of that check with some money I had saved from my prior check to pay rent. The check arrived direct deposit into one account but was considerably less than normal so I waited a 1/2 day to see if the remainder showed up in my other direct deposit account, but it had not. The next morning I asked my boss who stated she didn’t know what was going on so I called HR at our corporate office to find out I was being garnished and they were taking 25% of each check which made my check almost $1000 less each payday every other week with my normal taxes being deducted and now the garnishment. I let my landlord know what happened and I would have everything to him but would I be a couple days late. In the mean time my health started going downhill with my blood pressure becoming extremely elevated with one reading being 199/118.  My boss sent me to the ER and told me I needed to stay home a few days.  So now my stress levels were even higher knowing I have a garnishment and less hours on my next check which in turn kept my blood pressure elevated causing my boss to send me home again the following week. I tried to stay positive reminding myself I have a part-time caregiver job I work that will help supplement what I needed to pay for March’s rent. I kept working hard, trying to prove myself at this fairly new job, trying to keep my stress levels down to help my heart health. I was able to borrow a little money, use the money from both my paychecks to pay March rent.  Then the 15th rolls around (2nd deposit payment due) and I only had $200 so I paid him.  He added late fees and PayPal fees so I then paid him the remaining $500 plus those fees. Right after I paid this my boss called me into the office to tell me she doesn’t think I’m where I should be after 3 almost 4 months working my position. She stated “you are a wonderful person and I will put down that you are re-hirable but in the best interest of the company we are letting you go”. I begged for my boss to let me do a different job within the company so I wouldn’t lose my home because she knew how hard I worked to secure a home, she knew I was being garnished and she’s who sent me home all those days causing me to have less hours each paycheck.    She said no and that was that.  I had $150 left to my name so I sent it to the landlord to go towards April’s rent and started job searching and finding resources to pay my rent that is now due in approximately 2 weeks. I scrambled to find the remainder of my rent. I was able to borrow a little money from a family member, use money from my 2nd job and the money from my last check to come up with $1375 to send him. With the payment I sent an email explaining I apologized but would have the remaining money to him before the 15th. That evening when I went outside he had posted a notice on my door (dated April 3, 2024) demanding I pay him $736.12 (total of remaining rent and his additional fees) within 5 days (April 8, 2024) or he is evicting me for possession. I don’t have any additional resources for help so I’m reaching out to you requesting help with the remaining $736.12 for rent, $650 for the last payment of my additional deposit that is due on the 15th and because rent will be due again on April 25th, an additional 3-4 months assistance so I can get back on my feet finding full-time employment that pays well enough to stay here. Or at least enough to stay here a couple months until I find employment and a new place to live, put my 30 day notice to leave in so I can remain compliant with my lease terms. Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to read my lengthy “mini-manuscript”. I felt it was important to share some details of the events that led up to the unfortunate situation I am currently facing.  Please find it in your heart to help me get out of this situation. Again, I truly appreciate you taking the time to consider my request. Thank you, Dawn Jackson

Hi! Another struggling single mom here. Nice to meet you.  For the last 25 years I have worked with small children with a specialty working with autistic children.  I am awesome at it.  I wish I was in preschool right now. Well I can’t. Mostly because I can’t support two adult special needs children who are not currently receiving disability or any financial assistance on $17 an hour. No matter how excellent I am at getting a nonverbal child to communicate my pay even with a college education can’t support a family of three.  And dealing with the system or finding help on line is simply maddening.  We had our food assistance cut this month for “refusing to show proof of income”  How do I show proof of income when I have no income?  I lost my job in December and have been unsuccessful so far in finding any kind of employment that fits my physical and transportation needs.  My car was stolen in December as well. I’m sure it made it to Mexico before I even finished the police report.  I am so grateful for the public transportation system here, but it bites. First they are not the greatest at being on time so plan an extra hour to get to work. There’s also the  walking distance to get to a bus stop.  I’m really lucky I live right next to the light rail. Unfortunately it is not possible for me to walk the half mile to get to one.  I have a degenerative disease in my back and my feet are burning  insane.  Have you ever had pain so amazingly terrible that you just had to just stand in awe of the fact that you can withstand it and still partially function in society?  I live with an average daily pain level that hovers around a 7/10.  That’s on a good day. Most days I can hardly hobble across my tiny apartment. Think waddling penguin style.  Needless to say but I shall anyways, I can’t work an 8hr shift pretty much anywhere.  I won’t make it longer than 2-3 hours on my feet and 1-2hrs having to sit. It also just makes the pain almost take your breath away and you cry yourself to sleep.  So I’ve spent my time being unemployed teaching myself updated skills for our current employment scene.  I must find a gig I can do from my home, but even after studying 12-15hrs a day I still haven’t made a dime. There are so many shysters out there that take you to the brink of making a dollar and then they dangle you over the edge and ask an already cash poor human to cough up $997 for help.  Or you can trying finding an agency or business to help only to find out its just one stupid survey after the next of the same questions of lack and you end up getting literally receiving 94 phone calls a day from people claiming to help but want cash up front to do so. Where is that supposed to come from?  Rent in Phoenix is top notch and who can’t appreciate paying $2000 for a tiny two bedroom apartment.  How bout food? $100 doesn’t cover groceries for a week. Well after 3months of being out of work I find that I have gone through my savings and gracious friends and I need help.  If you knew how nauseatingly difficult it is for me to ask for help you’d be on your feet applauding and whispering finally.  I’d like to ask for $75,000 so that I can get out of my upcoming April 2nd eviction hearing, start some income streams and basically live normal. Not worry if the card is going to get declined for toilet paper. I am a hard working, intelligent, creative individual who has been called to find their light. If I’m so divinely chosen can that come with a pay upgrade?  I wanna know how if feels to not have fear every day.  I want a little security and stress relief, maybe go to a dr that specializes in joint relief.  Yeah I move and scream.  It’s a fun scene.  I have the motivation to make an online business successful. Create engaging technology geared towards the autistic niche since that’s where my talents resides.  In a perfect world a handsome dark haired millionaire reads this and just drops me $150k, keeping me afloat for many days.  Oh what that could do to my confidence and change the whole trajectory of my life. And hey if it just a $15 donation know that I love you for that cuz I know how much you needed it too and still you’re willing to ease someone else’s pain, You rock.  Thanks for reading this far.  Anything helps.  My PayPal is @bundi4u

I am a single mother of 3 (one child being 3 years old recently diagnosed with autism) located in the Los Angeles area. In November, I fell down the stairs and sustained an injury that required me to have surgery on my leg. I broke my tibia, fibula and displaced my ankle. I was left unable to walk for 2 months. I was laid off from my job prior to the fall during the writers/SAG strike and I have been struggling to find work ever since. Shortly after the fall, my husband of 6 years left me and my children (while I was recovering from surgery and still unable to walk, nor properly care for my 3 year old). In February I began physical therapy and a week after that I received a call from my Landlord stating that they were selling the home that we rent from them due to them getting a divorce. (I can’t make this stuff up) I had been using the last of my savings to pay rent since I now have the burden of paying for everything myself and that left me without much money left to pay off items on my credit needed to put myself in a better position to move or with anything to show in my account so that a new home or apartment would accept my family and I. Three weeks after finding out that we had to move, my daughter was diagnosed with Autism. I have interviewed for 6 positions over the last few weeks and was not hired for anything. I have applied to over 2,000 jobs and have at least 85 versions of my resume in my Google docs and 37 different cover letter templates. I am doing everything that I can to find a job and resources for my family. Some suggested this site to me so because I have less than 2 weeks left before I have to move and I am now desperate, I thought I would give this a try. It is my prayer that someone or some people will find it in their heart to donate to my cause. I know that there are many people in this world who are suffering now and I promise to pay it forward when I get off my feet (literally and figuratively) but these last 4 months have been HELL and I am praying for help and hope. My family needs a home. I am seeking enough help to give us at least 6 months in Los Angeles. It is my hope that I will have a steady job before then. I want to work. I need to work. I also need food, clothes and shelter for my family and I and the need is emergent.  Six months would be approx $50,000 Thank you. I am including my CASH APP info and Pay Pal –

I recently got out of an abusive relationship, physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially. He used to call me names, make me feel worthless, cheat on me, and put his hands on me, even in front of my son. There were a few times I had to call the police on him. Things had gotten so bad I grew depressed and my anxiety worsened every time I was home with him. I asked him to move out as he was no longer on the lease but he refused and the cops couldn’t make him as he was technically a squatter at the time. I ended up losing my job and having to find another one. I also ended up in a mental health hospital on a 51/50 hold because I had begun cutting my wrists. My ex stayed without paying rent for nearly a year before I was able to have him removed by filing a restraining order. He never paid what he owed me and I can’t afford to take him to small claims court. I also don’t have his new address to even file a lawsuit. Unfortunately, that left me with no money to pay my rent. It just kept piling up more and more until they served me with an Eviction. I have a 9 year old son that I am also raising. If it was just me, I’d live in my car until I got back on my feet. But I can’t do that to my son because of the bad choice I made in choosing to move in with my ex. I’m trying to raise this money within the 30 days I have before we are evicted. I have exhausted all other options including family and friends, even rental assistance options. I am also behind on my car payments, electricity bill, and insurance. I currently have a job, but every month the rent amount owed goes up and I can’t catch up with the amount I make. If I could get ahead of it, or even catch up, I know I’d be able to make my payments on time. I wish I didn’t have to come to complete strangers and ask for help but I am doing this for my son and he is the only one that matters in all of this. If I could get the money before the Eviction is finalized, my apartments will cancel the Eviction and I will not have an Eviction on my record. Please, anything will help towards the $10,000 I owe.

Hello and thank you for taking time to read.
I am a single momma of 4. I am struggling to make ends meet after my childrens father passed away and just need a little help to get my head above water.
We are quickly facing eviction and I have exhausted all resources for assistance.
I have several gig jobs that I currently work and I have been applying literally everywhere to no avail.

Between rent, utilities, car payment, insurance, food and basic necessities for my kids I’m just not making it.

If you can help monetarily I would greatly appreciate it and it would mean the world to my kids to be able to stay in our home.

A little about me:

first and foremost I am a mom and sole provider. I grew up and have lived in the west valley, Az my whole life. I enjoy the outdoors and music.
My kids ages are 10, 13, 15 and 17.

Again, thank you for taking the time to read my post and I greatly appreciate any and all help.

Dear Donor,

I am writing to request a donation of $3500 to support my family during this difficult time. As a single mother of three girls, ages 4, 7, and 14, I am facing eviction due to financial hardships. I am currently working to make ends meet, but with the added burden of daycare expenses, I am struggling to keep up.

I recently applied for daycare assistance, but the review process can take up to 30 days. With the looming threat of eviction, I urgently ask for your immediate help before 3/26/24. I am at a loss for what else to do and I am praying that with your support, I can be in a better position for April.

Your generosity would make a world of difference for me and my children. Thank you for considering my request and for potentially helping us in our time of need.

Sincerely,
[Lisa]

Good day,

I appreciate the time you have taken to read my donation request. I was a caregiver to my father for many years and he fell ill this last year and passed away in the fall of 2023. It has been extremely difficult mentally and emotionally to get back on my feet. I am a single mother of three children ages 9, 12 and 14. I had a small business where I assisted my clients with lifestyle and wellness. When my father passed, it hindered my children and myself in a way that I did not expect, I was unable to assist my clients at the time of grieving. In addition, I do not have any other assistance from family or friends. Even though I was under the impression that my father had life insurance, he did not. The funeral and expenses added up too high for me to keep up with. This last month I have been doing my best to work and pay all my late bills. However, the one bill I am unable to catch up to is my rent. I still owe $7000. I had a trial last week and the landlords are giving my one more chance to catch up. Anything will help at this point. I am selling bread out of my home and working to re-establish my clientele. I believe heavily in paying in forward and love to help others when I am able to. I promise to do so when I am on my feet again. Please assist us. I thank you for your consideration.

Many blessings~

Seriously seeking a 5 bedroom , 3 bath house to move our very large family too. After living in a beautiful and safe community for almost 8 years, where we got a chance to partially raise our family, we have been notified that we only have a short time left. It was brought to our attention that we only have till April 9th, 2024 to relocate.

After realizing the extensive cost of relocating, from application fees, current rent, utilities, food for our family we have noticed that moving is not within our reach but is yet within our grasp. We want a chance to find another wonderful home to rest our heads and fill our hearts.

I currently hold a stable position in my career, and am very happy there. However at this time the family and I have to pack up and start new. Hoping that we can raise enough money to pay first, last months rent, and security deposit, looking to raise a minimum of $6200.00

Not wanting to get scammed I just want a fair chance to find a beautiful place for my family and I to live so we can continue to share and make memories.

I am grateful for every donation as every bit helps. If you are willing to donate a home that is also welcomed with open arms.

You can donate to my cause by sending funds to my Venmo account at

Hi My name is Kimberly, It has been a journey this past year. My brother had a stroke in 2022, Dec 26. My journey has been literally a dose of ups, downs and twists coupled with drama from family. I started out in February leaving Loma Linda Hospital with my brother in the car… My first challenge because he was suppose to have a medical transport, my brother whos name is Rodney was paralyzed on his entire left side, both his leg and arm are currently being rehabilitated. I have quit my job of 25 years and closed my therapy practice to stay with him and make sure he gets good care. Without any knowledge of being a caretaker, I jumped in head first and I have not looked back. I coordinate his multiple therapies, doctor appointments and engage alongside his caretakers in his daily care (I do not get paid). I have fallen behind in all my personal bills, and struggle to make car payments and pay my rent. I loaned a friend a large amount of money 3 years ago and she has not paid me back. I am asking for anything to help with the financial challenge I am experiencing. Thank you in advance… I have never done anything like this before but I figured what could it hurt. I have an eviction notice, I would love to purchase the house next door.
