George Silsby hasn't added a story.
A year ago my girlfriend and I kept up with the payments to the
apartment. We got behind and the Landlady threatened eviction. She
negotiated with my girlfriend and we kept up with the rent for a year
with no missed late payments.
We were late by a week for the first time since then, and
suddenly the landlord sent the Sherrif with a 48 hour writ of
possession. We managed to get a few more days time, but my job
requires me to work from the internet as a Customer service rep from home.
I have no savings as I work a part time position and live check
by check and was completely caught off guard. We tried to fight it but
the courts said that they could bypass the nomal 30 day notice because
it was a breached agreement from the last notice a year ago.
Needless to say I don't want to give up, and hope to avoid
staying at a shelter. I have a potential place to stay but an opening
has to come and it's random. If I can get some relief help I can setup
and work from even a motel if needed, until a place opens up. We are
running out of time and options, noone has room to take me in sadly on
such short notice.
I am asking for an estimate of 3k only to have enough to make
down payments for rent, food, and while missing work compensate for
that so I can recover quickly. Any help is appreciated I absolutely
hate doing this, it's a last resort.
UPDATE--Some would be donors addressed a confusin about the
payment options. You don't have to have Paypal, but you have to click
it and choose "pay as a guest" and then it lets you use non
paypal "through paypal" requiring no paypal account to do so.
Thank you so much for any help you can give.
