Hi, I’m Sarah. I’m 37 yrs old. I’ve never been married and I don’t have children. I’m going through a terrible time and I’m very scared. I’m in an awful situation, and I am reaching out desperately hoping to find support from anyone who may understand.
I received an eviction notice, and my court date is September 20th. This place has been my home for the past 4 ½ years, and I cannot bear the thought of losing it and being homeless.
For the past few months I have struggled to keep up with my rent and electric bills, insurance, food, you name it. I’ve been fortunate enough to have peanut butter and jelly on toast, and oodles and noodles. My anxiety has escalated to debilitating levels, after a hit-and-run car accident on December 30, which left my car totaled and my life turned upside down. The person who hit me fled the scene, and while I had insurance, the loss of my Honda Civic, which I’d just finished paying off in October of 2023 has added financial strain. I don’t care about having a vehicle anymore I just don’t want to lose my home.
I’m grateful to have family but if I get evicted I will be homeless because living with family is extremely unhealthy for so many reasons. I’ve reached out to state, and county services such as Neighborhood Community Services as well as the Salvation Army but because I don’t have any children and it’s only me, it puts me at a disadvantage to get financial assistance or help. I heard back from the Salvation Army but they said they couldn’t help me until I have a disconnect notice even though I have an important notice and that they were sorry, but they didn’t have any funds available for rental assistance.
This situation has made it incredibly difficult for me to leave my home, my anxiety has hindered my ability to work consistently. I am not trying to hide from the world; rather, I am desperately trying to regain my footing.
I am humbly asking for any assistance that can help me pay my rent and utility bills. Your kindness could mean the difference between having a safe space to call home and facing homelessness.
The court papers show my balance as exactly $4289.89 thats a little less than three months of rent. Ive been paying all I could in increments on Rent Cafe but I could never get caught back up.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Words cannot express how deeply and truly grateful I am for any help I may be fortunate enough to receive.
From the bottom of my heart.
Thank you
