Help Dade pay rent
Donation protected
UPDATE: So a job I thought was going to come through this month has sadly fallen through, so I'm out a good chunk of change I thought was going to replace my savings. I hate to keep asking for help, but I desperately need it if you can give it.
Again, any help you can give is appreciated so much.
So this is hard for me to write. Earlier this month I was scammed in a bad way. I've been struggling with debt for a long time, and when someone came to me and offered me a way to consolidate my debt I jumped on it. I don't usually qualify for most debt consolidation programs because of my awful credit. Unfortunately what I thought was a legitimate offer was anything but. I stupidly gave them my bank information and by the time I realized what had happened, I had stupidly agreed to give them almost a thousand dollars.
Normally I'd be able to weather this stupid mistake with my savings, but because of my mental health I took a lot of days off of work in the past few weeks. And so my savings was completely wiped out, leaving me with almost 500 dollars negative in my bank account. And while I was able to go into overdraft, I obviously got charged for it. With overdraft fees, it pushed me to just over $700 negative.
While my landlord was originally understanding, my late fees are continuously piling up and I'm afraid my landlord is running out of patience, and I will be risking eviction if this goes on much longer. Including late fees, I now owe $1500 in rent. And so I'm finally caving and swallowing my pride and asking for help. I don't have a lot of hope because I don't think there are many people who are going to read this. But if you can help, I truly would appreciate it. If you can't give anything, just sharing this would be a massive help.
If you help in any way, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
