Save my family from EVICTION
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Debra and I relocated to Georgia in April of 2021. I moved from Florida due to some domestic issues and I was forced to resign from my position of 15 years. It all started when I had my last daughter in Sept of 2020 during the Covid pandemic. She was born severely premature at only 27 weeks. At that time I was working for the school district in Florida. I was allowed to work from home for a few weeks. Upon requesting for a second leave of absence I was told that I would have to return to work or resign. As any mother would, I chose to care for my daughter as she spent 3 months in the NICU. I then decided to live with a family member who had a 2 bedroom apartment in Georgia. Me and my 6 children packed up and move. The living arrangement lasted about 5 months. The living arrangement became overwhelming so I reached out to a friend and she was able to help get shelter through Fulton county Gateway Center for homeless families. We lived in an Intown suite for about 6 weeks and I then received a call from Gateway stating that funds had ran out so I had to pay the hotel fees out of pocket. I was able to stay there a few weeks until I went to live with another family member for some time until I could find somewhere to house me and my children. I was blessed to finally find a landlord that did not require paystubs because I did not have a job to provide paystubs. They saw that I maintained good credit and decided to lease to me in August of 2022. I was more the grateful to have a place to call home. However, Fulton county rental assistance program told me they would help me for 18 months if I was able to provide a lease, but after helping with rental assistance for 3 months they sent an email stating they were no longer giving out rental assistance. I recently found a job making minimum wage but hoping to move up quickly. I have fallen behind on January's rent and my landlord has started the eviction process. So I am currently reaching out to anyone in position to help me save my home. I am in need of $7350 for January and February's rent as it is right around the corner. I am working hard to get March's rent so that we can have stability again. They want $4,400 for January. This include many different fees including the eviction fees. And February's rent is 2950 if paid before the 1st of February. At this time I am reaching out to other charities but most of them are out of funds or can only provide a small fraction of what is owed. I really need all the help I can get at this time. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my story.
