Nine Day Till Homeless
Donation protected
Hi my name is Robert and I am asking for help to keep my from ending up homeless in a little over a week. I have fought hard to come back from several huge hits in my live and homelessness on several occasions and I am doing all I can to avoid being so again. I've spent the last five years rebuilding after losing everything in a fire and was starting to come back strong when the company I worked for began cutting my wages. I even started a Youtube channel which I have been growing well for the last nine years to build something that would hopefully in time turn in to a way to provide for myself long term no matter what happened and I am happy to say it has gone better than I could have expected but nowhere near well enough to cover my bills. Though the channel I was presented with an opportunity to move to Seattle, WA and took it so I could grow more and be in a bigger market for work opportunities while I did. After I gave my notice to my landlord and made arrangements to transfer my job out here the person who had offered me a place to live backed out, but I went forward with the plans. I spent the first month and a half here living in hotels, Airbnbs, and my car while working 60+ hrs per week to try and make enough money to get into a place while my debts continued to mount. In Dec I found a landlord willing to give me a chance and work with me on the deposit though by this point I was already months behind on my car payment and several other bills. I knew getting into a place would mean I could get back to working on my channel, save money on food and gas, and start to make arrangements on the debts I had occurred. Just as I was starting to get things going again I received my first customer complaint because I greeted a customer as I had many times over the last three years "Hello sweetheart how are you doing today". The company decided this was sexual harassment and terminated me. Needless to say this was devastating, especially since I hadn't had enough time to recover from the expenses of the move. I've been able to keep food and some of the small bills covered through help of friends but my landlords have given me till the 20th to come up with rent and late fees or be evicted and the loan company has reposed my car. Today I finally heard back from the first company to give me a second interview which will be on the 18th which means even if they hire me on the spot which I am not planning for I would not receive a paycheck for a few weeks putting me not only past the arranged day the landlord has given to come up with this months but also past the time for next month as well and I have no resources I could use to cover me till I can get a check let alone do I think my first check would be enough to cover everything. Asking for this is very hard for me to do and I would be willing to pay back anyone who helps. I just need some time to get back on my feet. If you want to help and would like me to pay you back my email is [email redacted] and I will keep you posted every step of the way till I return your money. Thank you to anyone who helps and to anyone who even reads this.
