Emergency Moving Costs

Due to circumstances beyond my control, my 4 children and I have been displaced from our current residence effective immediately. I need to somehow find the money to move into an apartment, (first, last, and security deposit) preferably in the chicopee area, so that they don't have to switch schools and so I can have my mother close by to help me with childcare while I work. I am also not able to take many of my home furnishings with me and will need to replace several items upon finding a new apartment, any money not used for first, last, and security will go towards those furnishings. I have no money saved, as this was completely unexpected, and do not have the amount of time to save the money.

I am a hard working mother of 4 beautiful children. I currently work full time in the human services field and make very little money. I am working on a BA in psychology and hope to climb the ladder within the company I currently work for within the next couple of years. I, unfortunately, right now need to ask for help... very difficult for me to do, but I have exhausted all my other options. I can't afford to pay back a loan right now, and any programs that offer assistance will only offer if I move into a shelter with my children beforehand. And even then, there is an extensive wait list for emergency financial help.

I know that people use this site for some pretty ridiculous stuff, but this truly is a dire emergency. I am not looking for a handout nor would I even do this if I absolutely had no other choice. I work every day helping others and putting in that good karma... and now I am the one that needs the help.

If any of you can find it within yourselves to donate to this cause I would be eternally grateful.
