Please Help Me Save My House!
Donation protected
I've lowered my goal because i just need $1890.26 more to pay off the taxes that are due in a week and $1,000 to pay off my ebay bill. The repair bills can wait because any money going towards them should be going to the house instead.
Wow this is super hard for me to do as I've never been the one to ask for help as i've always been the one to help everyone else out. I would never ask for help but believe me I am Desperate and need help Now! So have you ever had one of those days where nothing is going right? Well i've had the Worst MONTH ever and i feel like I'm drowning and just need someone to please help me out!
Within the last month i've gotten a letter from the county saying that i either pay $2,220.26 to pay off my balance on my house property taxes by June 30 or else they will take the house.Long story short several years ago i was late on my property taxes and so i had to do a contract with the county and pay abt $900 every month to pay off $10,000 which was for the last 3 years plus court costs and lawyer fees. It was a struggle but i did it with no help often doing without.The last 2 months i couldn't come up with the money because the store i was working at i was not getting the hours. This house means EVERYTHING to me and if i lose it i'm done. Then on May 5th my 93 year old mother passed away in another state and losing her has just depressed me and raised my anxiety because I couldn't get to her to say a final goodbye.
Then on June 8th i got 2 letters from the city because my neighbor reported some violations on my property. All she had to do was come over and tell me she had some issues and i would've started fixing everything. One letter gave me one week to fix up my yard and move 2 small chairs inside. So from ebay sales this week i was able to hire a bunch of people to totally fix up the yard.I was planning to use that money to put towards my property taxes. Then the other letter is giving me 3 weeks to do some repairs on my fence,fix a retaining wall,and some exterior painting. I have someone coming tomorrow to give me bids on the fence and the wall but i have NO money to pay for anything!
My ebay bill of $653 was due yesterday so because i'm late with that i cannot list anything new--i can still keep my ebay store open and get any sales that come in. I have over 3600 items listed and i'm running huge sales to bring just anything in. My Ebay store Link is further down below. At this point im basically giving stuff away but i just don't know what else to do. I have utillity bills to pay-heat will be disconnected soon but its the least of my worries as i can work turning that back on as soon as this house mess is paid off.
Tomorrow im having a huge garage sale to try to bring in some money that way.
Its just me here i have NO relatives to help me out-God knows i'm trying to keep my head above the water and I seriously feel like I'm having a nervous breakdown!! I'm constantly praying to God to guide me-i feel that i'm being tested by him yet again.
I just want to put it out there again that im that person in the neighborhood who genuinely cares about others and their well-being. I'm the one who gets the call at 10pm to go help my 73 yr old neighbor figure out whats wrong with his computer or catches loose dogs and tracks down their owners. I'm that one who pays someones grocery bill because they are a few dollars short.I'm the one who's always smiling and trying to put up a brave front when inside me its a sad soul who is trying to keep it all together by myself! Now i'm that one who desperately needs the help! Anyway if you've read this far and cannot help me financially i understand and just hope that you will keep me in your prayers and send positive healing energies my way. Or you can send people to my ebay store here: Sweetsurprises4all Sweetsurprises4all and I do thank you kindly! But if you can help me i would Greatly Appreciate it and pay it forward!
About Myself- i am a Christian and a very hard-worker-i've never been on any govt programs,welfare,food stamps~nothing wrong if others are just saying that i personally haven't gone that route.I've been an ebay seller since 1998 plus i've worked with children for over 30 years as a teacher,office worker for 12 yrs and up until recently i worked in a retail store. I have done several job interviews this month and am waiting to hear back from them. I'm definitely not lazy and took every single extra hour that that last store gave me but when you go from full-time to part-time hours-the lowest abt of hours I stayed one day was 2.5 hours--how in the heck am I supposed to pay bills with that?
The main thing i need right now is the amount of $4,220.26 to pay off the house taxes and house repairs. I would Greatly appreciate Any help either $ or prayers is greatly needed! Thank You!
