Please help me find a home...

Hi, my name is Mark and I am fundraising to help me get out of a dire situation fate has thrown me into...my becoming suddenly homeless.

Some time ago, I got divorced and after talking to my 74 year old Mother, I realized we would benefit by my moving in with, and helping, her with things around the house.

After spending some time with her in the house, I noticed her short term memory was fading and getting progressively worse as time went on. Eventually her memory loss led to my having to take care of her daily needs...from cooking, doing errands, shopping, cleaning, driving her places (since she couldn't drive any more... due to her memory loss and her license registration, insurance and driver's license), and making sure monthly bills were paid.

One late afternoon, I came home from work and found a court ordered eviction notice on the front door...saying she had 24 hours to vacate the premises. Came to find out she and her ex owed over $245k in mortgage payments and accrued late fees...and in her mind, she thought the house was paid for and didn't find the previous court hearing notices important...resulting in her filing them away unbeknownst to me. Early the next morning, the sheriff came and evicted us to from her house.

Learned the house had been sold at a court ordered auction...and after speaking with the new owner, I had less than 4-5 days to get everything out of the house...or they would throw away everything. My mom was confused and didn't know what was going on and I was overwhelmed by all this is suddenly being thrusted into my arms.

I took my mom to a motel and over the next few days, I removed and stored what I could of her and my belongings. Barely had time to physically look for places to live because she couldn't be left alone for too long...so had to look online mostly.

One day, I returned to the room and found her laying face down on the bathroom tile floor. She was confused and had no idea how she fell or how long she was there. An ambulance took her to the ER, and she was eventually transferred to a rehab center, which is also a long term care center..where she is now staying and being cared for.

The motel stay and other expenses had eventually drained my and her savings, leaving me with no choice but to live in my car. Have been homeless and living in my car for the past two months now...spending my pay every two weeks on child support, an expensive storage unit, my car insurance, phone bill, gas (which is very expensive now), and food with what I have left. Driving around at night trying to find a safe legal place to park and sleep, and using gas stations bathrooms daily when not at work.

And when I have free time, have been looking for places to live but everything is so expensive and they want 1st, 2nd. and last months rent...which I don't have. I feel like I am in an endless loop that I can't get out of and it's affecting my physical and mental health already. I have lost all my belongings because I can't afford the storage unit anymore.

Please help me save up and get a safe affordable place to live and the necessities I need and get me out of this endless rut I am in...feeling like a hamster stuck in a wheel, going nowhere and getting mentally and physically exhausted in the process. Have been praying daily and asked God for the strength I need to persevere...and now I am putting my pride aside and asking help from my friends and family.

God bless those that feel it in their hearts to help me . Praying
