Help my family avoid eviction and other costs.
Donation protected
Hello, as many of you know a month ago my job was eliminated in a mass layoff from my previous company. I was devastated and still scared but taking it one day at a time while working hard to secure full-time gainful employment. I was making a decent wage but also needed to pick up a part time job before that to supplement my income because of the high cost of living. When the layoff happened, I was paid a months worth of pay via severance, and that was taxed, of course. I got that on Aug 11th and I used that as I would my normal monthly income to pay my August bills and continue to search for full time employment and work my part time job. A month has passed and bills are due again. Because I had a part time job and recieved a months worth of pay, I was denied any food stamps or assistance. I got a call yesterday from my apartment manager stating that Im facing eviction and the owner would only give me until the 18th(1 week) to pay rent in full which is 1,100 ..plus some late fees or eviction proceedings will begin. As many of us do, I also have car payment, insurances, all the utilities, phone, and then there's gas, food, ect. You all know all that comes every month. I do not want to lose my apartment and my family become homeless, or not be able to keep my dogs bc we arent in stable housing. My part time job check for two weeks is barely enough for about one utility bill and humble amount of food. Ive gone to plasma centers, food banks, looked into rental assistance(none) and now I am unfortunately putting ALL my pride to the side and reaching out to the community of friends that I know to ask if you could please find it in your hearts to help me avoid eviction and help me through this. I am continuing to look for a full-time time job and praying that God will show up and show out as I walk through the rest of this hard and scary season Ive found myself and my family in. I am a single mom with 2 daughters and 2 fur babies. I am a hard worker and ussually do provide day in and out for my family. This is a very scary situation to be in. I am humbly asking for all the help I can get. Pride wont keep a roof over our heads and I must ask for help. I would forever be grateful for any help we get.
