Urgent Support for Elsie's Safe Relocation

Donation protected
My name is Elsie and a number of you know I was homeless for a few months over the summer.

I moved into a share house in Orlando where I've been living for a few months now with my emotional support cat, Eddie.

This month we've run into a double whammy of losing my job & due to an aggressive housemate my living situation is no longer safe. When I contacted the company that runs the sharehouse I live in, they ended up outing my safety concern to the entire household which put me at risk. The aggressive housemate was told directly by the company or the homeowner that I reported him ( half the house actually did ) and he immediately became more aggressive. I was told by the company that my only options were to transfer ( but I have to pay my balance down first ) or get a restraining order and wait for that to play out.

I was informed today that this housemate has firearms.

As I no longer feel safe reporting anything while still on the premises and at risk of this non-sober, aggressive individual's whims, I am trying to either raise the back-payments I need to transfer or raise any kind of amount to safely leave.

If I can't do either then on December 4th when my balance is due, the owner will be kicking me out and I'll be homeless.

I am trying to contact as many local rent help programs as I can and shelters that I can but everything takes time, way more time than I feel that I have with an armed individual in my home that is pissed at me.

My balance is around $1,218 including next week's rent to buy myself some time to get moved. I don't own a car or else trust me, I'd be living in it. I will also be attempting to reach out to local friends to see if anyone has space available.

Please, please share and please consider donating! We really need your help!
