URGENT: PLZ Help Single Mom & Kids Avoid Winter Eviction

Donation protected
My children and I have had a very rough year and are now dealing with an eviction during winter and the holidays. I am a single separated parent of two children. I am not receiving any help or support for them, and both are in the home.

We attempted to get rental assistance after I was unsuccessful in finding work after being falsely arrested for preaching. This arrest has caused me so much distress, and I have had an extremely difficult time finding work, even after working very hard in school on my business degree! I have been turned down for jobs where skill is not a requirement because of the false charges on my background. We filed a federal lawsuit against the city and the police department in September 2024; see Doss vs. Amherst et al.

I was approved for rental assistance, but they have not yet made a payment to my landlord! I had an agreement with my landlord to show proof that I was approved, and despite sending the proof, he still filed the eviction.

It’s too cold to be out of a home. If anyone can please donate anything at all, it will add up. Anything is very much appreciated. Prayers, support, or recommendations are very welcome. We have until January 6th to have all of the money. I am sorry to beg, but we desperately need help! If you have any questions, you can message me. We just need help, please!
