Support Relocation for NC Hurricane Victims

URGENT: Hello everyone; TY for reading this. We need your help please, asap. Like so many hit hard by Hurricane Helene here in the mtns of western NC, USA, I too find myself in need of help. I say "we" to refer to myself and my precious canine hoodlums3.

~On 9/27/24, we got slammed by the storm after already suffering torrential rains bef the hurricane. The hse I've rented since 2015 was spared flooding by mere inches. However, power went out which for me, also means no heat. Until yesterday, we have been living w/out heat. My dear neighbors graced me on Wed 10/16 w/the use of one of their relative's generators until Oct's end. OMGoodness, it feels like heaven to have heat in here!

~On Tues 10/15, I went to prop. mgr's office to inquire about getting power back on. Duke Energy had been out here but the issue is not from their end. For the first time, during the storm, rain gushed into the sm kitchen ceiling and was leaking all over. The breaker panel is on the wall in that kitchen, so I suspect all that water shorted out all things electrical.

~To my horror, the prop mgr called me back stating that my dogs and I have to move out by the end of the month. She explained that bec the prop owner has suffered SO many properties being completely pummeled by the hurricane, they have no idea when they can get to this hse and fix it. They want to rip it apart, give it brand new electrical system, new roof, etc. and the hse cannot be occupied during all of that.

~To make matters worse, I had just completed classrm training and orientation for a brand new job! I now must table that until I am blessed to relocate. The hurricane had def slowed down the whole getting a new job process, so I was thrilled to finally get one. I'm fairly certain they will place me once I am in a new place to live so I will be able to start that new job come Nov.. Ironically, two other places I had applied to called me to see if I am still in need of work! Hence I have no worries that I will be gainfully employed again after relocating.

~So why do I need your help? One, bec it's been too long w/out any income so I am behind on everything. By The Grace of God, a local church pd my rent for Oct just yesterday. I have been pawning things to survive and have gone to other churches for fd and necessities.

~ I am hoping to raise enough money asap, to then secure decent housing in the Asheville, NC area for my dogs and I. My new job to be is in Asheville (as well as both of the other job possibilities), so this would be a Godsend. I have searched housing there and yes, many places would be beyond my future budget. However! I was thrilled to find a handful of sm, dog friendly homes that I could def afford once my paychecks start rolling in again.

~So this is me, hoping beyond hope, that I will be blessed w/the money that I would need for moving (renting a sm moving truck, 1st mos rent, sec dep, last mos rent if needed, etc), getting caught up w/car payment, preventing auto ins lapse, getting caught up w/all bills and hopefully having enough to sustain dogs and I until starting my new job once settled in elsewhere.

~I thank you for your time and consideration. I hope you are able to help and please know, if you do help? I will repay you, no matter how long it may take.

~~TY, TY and God bless you and yours, all ways and always. P.S. That handsome canine looking at you in my pic is Raja. He too hopes you can help and he is wagging his tail at you! =D
