Dear Donors,
My name is Johnathan L. Williams and I’m a 60 year old disabled veteran (20%) living off of VA disability and SSI. I had been living at my prior address for 8 years. During this time period I have gone thru several management changes which has led to payments being directed to previous owners. My last management owners notified me of a rent increase of over $300. Part of my rent was paid by DCA housing voucher. Since DCA was not notified 3 months in advance they denied the rent increase. Each month thereafter the increase showed in spite of the denial. So a couple of months went by, as I notified DCA of the situation developing. I was instructed to continue to pay my part of the rent and continue as usual. Then I got a letter from the management company saying I was $5000 behind. I spoke with them trying to find the error in this situation, They showed me paperwork showing the bill not paid, DCA showed me paperwork showing the bill paid. After weeks and months of deliberation on this case, my anxieties played a big part of my next decision. They eventually stopped taking my payments and DCA stated that we had broken no contracts and to continue to reside there. I have a very good credit rating(752) and did not want any court issues to interfere with this situation. I had become very stressed out over all this. They then offered me a waiver to erase the debt if I moved out of the apartment, which I signed and moved out. I stayed with my fiance’ for 5 months and purchased a vehicle to get to my doctor’s appointments, which were mostly out of town (I had to get 2 loans to purchase this vehicle). I then was forced to leave and became homeless. I slept in my car for a couple days until a bed was opened up at The Salvation Army. I truly need help erasing one or both loans and acquire shelter (home) from the elements. Any help will be appreciated, and may God bless any who can help. paypal.me/hlywd01
