Family needs help with rental fees and relocation

Donation protected
 
My name is Tashay Bryant and myself and my family are being treated unfairly by our property manager. My partner and I had our 1 year old son in April of 2020. At the time we were trying for a child we were unaware that covid would affect our lives. Nonetheless we made it through. Even with milk and diapers and wipes being cleared off of the shelves. I completed a pre-apprenticeship program for construction in December of 2020 to become an asset to any company thats willing to hire a felon. I obtained employment through a temporary agency and moved in our apartment January of 2021 where we have been since. Most people are aware of the unemployment glitches that were going on so when I got laid off my job due to rise in covid cases in the workplace it put me in a tight financial situation. I paid ahead as a precaution because talk of a new variant had arised. As of today I am only behind on rent 8 days. Not 8 weeks nor 8 months. I have been approved for our Florida rental assistance but unfortunately payments aren't being dispersed as quickly as landlords would like. My landlord refused to help do their part in the application yet is awaiting payment and are threatening to evict as well as terminating our lease as soon as funds are received out of retaliation. We have never been late. Never caused any problems. Our lease is up in January and was already stated that our lease will not be renewed. So on top having to pay $1100 a month for a 2 bedroom apartment We also have to save for down payment to be able to move somewhere when our lease is up and having a background in Florida (which I do from 10 years ago) makes it even harder to get approved somewhere. In 120 days my family and I could be living in a hotel. Shelters have wait-list that are months longs as well as apartments. It's not our fault payments aren't being sent out quick enough. Where is the compassion? I have an offer letter from asurion for a work at home customer service job that starts on the 13th. But if I have no home to go to in 120 days how am I supposed to work? Any help is greatly appreciated. We are awaiting assistance from 4c to be able to put our son in daycare so that we are both able to work but again there are thousands of applications other than mine and we are told to continue to wait. To help ourselves we've been door dashing to make ends meet. And reaching out to different resources. I have attached a link because at one point I was the story of hope. But as of late I have been feeling hopeless. Are there still any good people left in the world?
