Hello Everyone,
I am writing on here today because I have reached a point where I am scared for my family and myself. Let me give a little background. We have been restarting our lives since 2020 when I was let go from my job due to covid. This was a rough time and we tried moving to Oklahoma. After living there for a year, we decided Oklahoma was not for us and gained a little help to get back to the west coast and moved to Oregon. It has been rough since we moved as our credit was hit hard. But I remained strong for my wife and child and got a job to start paying bills. Well, when that job ran low on work I was released because I was the last one hired and the first one out. It was rough and scary, but I pushed on hard and got two jobs. An IT job working from 8am to 5pm and another job stocking a grocery store from 10pm until 6:30am.
This was hard because I was never around my family. Finally with my background in IT and technology I was able to get a contract job working for a large silicon firm. We were able to level out a little bit, but they were paying me scratch for the work that was being completed so we did not really have a chance to save we were living paycheck to paycheck. Well, this was a six-month contract, and they chose not to continue the contract due to budget reasons.
I soon after found another decent contract job (the one I am at now) but there was an issue with waiting for my background check and was not able to start right away. Along with a car accident that we are still waiting on whether our car is totaled or not. It has been a few months. This led to hard moments because of rent being what it was and bills. I ended up forgoing some bills for the time being to keep a roof over my wife, child, and my head. This was done by taking out small loans (which is only for emergencies) to keep our heads up. Finally I was given the ok to start working and my contractor gave the company the go ahead for me to work. This was great!!! Finally, I can catch up. But alas due to the pay schedule of the contract company I worked a total of 4 weeks before I could get paid. So, I had to pull a couple more loans to try and survive. But, after 4 weeks I was finally paid for two weeks because the job is biweekly. I was able to pay rent but very few bills that had built up. Since then, I have been working and only paying rent with my paychecks. But, as of now we are behind. The way I look at it if I could get back to pay rent with last check and save and pay bills with the middle check of the month, I can make it. But as of now I am stuck using multiple paychecks to pay rent because of catching up with bills. This is a slow downhill situation. Well as of now it is a downhill into possible homelessness for my family. I have tried again for loans, but that horse has run away, and my credit is in shambles.
I am reaching out to the people today because I really need help getting back on my feet. I hate asking others for help I have always supported my family and been strong in doing so. But now I am at wits end, and I will not be able to pay all my rent and I already have the 72-hour notice. I want to get back to level have my rent paid and my bills caught up so that we can begin to live without stress and save money (we have so many plans). I pray every night for help and cry as I do so (I am not much of a crying person, but this situation has put me there). We really need some help. If anyone can please help I would be forever grateful and in your debt. I just want to protect my family and never want to ask for help but, here I am now reaching out to anyone for help. Please help my prayers be answered and allow my family to level back out.
I am just stating out there that the current issue is our rent is late with a 2500 amount because of late fees and our water and power bill ranging 800 dollars. With resolving these as much as possible will keep my family homed and our utilities up to date. I know I may not receive it all but in all honesty anything can help. I want my wife, my 5 year old son and I to catch up I don’t want us to not have a home and I don’t want us to stress or hurt anymore.
