Relocation

Good day. It's with a humbled, hurting and exhausted heart I come to here.. my youngest son has been hospitalized for 3days recently and I've had migraines daily for almost a year now..
it started in Oct. 2022. The shower was showing signs of mold in the calling. I did extra cleaning precautions. My landlord said he fixed it but later realizing he simply replaced the tiles and didn't take care mold, the shower to this day has a constant drip. Fast forward to Feb 2023, the smell was getting worse. I notified him again. And did my best trying figure out why n where it was coming from this time. Long story short, the tub faucet had rusted out and was leaking daily into walls n floor board.. on 4/21/23 I was issued and emergency relocation and lease break due to mold and damages that weren't my fault. Since then I've exhausted ALL of my savings and resources on applications and gas to go check out places. Only to come up short.. I'm stuck in this place and need get out asap. Shelters are full, I've called several organizations and non profits with no help. I'm an independent mother, not just single. No family support, very little friends and even smaller hope. I've been in this home for over 6yrs. Landlord was supposed let me rent to own but two years in he changed his mind. He hasn't stepped foot in this house since I've lived here, he doesn't own a pair of keys to this house and he truly has let it go.. thing is.. the mold is getting worse, just foul.. I can't get up and out of this alone. I'm crying myself to sleep for the 2-5 hours I can make myself get. My kids are noticing my struggle n pains.. ive stood out with signs asking for help barely coming home with anything.. I don't know what else to do.. it was suggested to me to do this so here I am begging on the internet asking for help, something, prayer, anything tangible.. me n my children are good God fearing people. I've made it so far from where I've begun and right now I need help relocating so I can continue on bettering Our future... I appreciate you reading this far and hope that we can get into a new place before anymore health problems arize.
On a side note. I am a Bran new business woman. Took a chance on my dreams in 2019. Little did I know I was pregnant. The father n I had broken up already but, I couldn't jump into my business how I desired. I've worked with and helped 145 folks since then on my own. I love to draw, paint, give back, garden, work with my hands, work out, play with my kids, learn and God is the head of my life. My oldest son graduated second grade with A+ honor roll and several other awards. My daughter graduated with several awards and is being considered going from 4th grade to 6th next year. My youngest is a handful but the blessing I need to really understand myself. I am a resilient, happy, helpful, loving kind person.. I'm trying my best. Doing my best and everywhere I turn folks are drawn to me and so I'm asking and pleading for help. Please help me my children get out of this. We do have a plan set up for a new home. Have a job waiting on me and a safe place live, thing is Im on a fixed income until my book is published and my job reaches a higher level. The job I have lined up pays 13.75 hr+ benefits..
If there's anything I can answer or talk about to help you help us please..
In advance I thank you from the best parts of who I am.. thank you for your prayers. Thank you for the help and thank you for reading this far.. even if you have nothing to help us tangibly, thank you
