Carol Rutledge hasn't added a story.
I have been without a home for three weeks now and living in my car with my two dogs and I am asking for help.
I left an abusive relationship after eight years in the middle of the night when he was sleeping.It has been getting worse over time but that night he hit me so hard in the head and face that it broke my dentures and my glasses.
I knew when I left I had nothing until my social security check came in tomorrow but I had to leave I just couldn't take it anymore.
I left with my two dogs and two backpacks of clothing.I've had enough to buy me and my pets food and that was all.
Now that I will have my social security tomorrow I can get us a place to live but I need some help.I found a small apartment that I can afford on my income but to move in I have to pay a months rent,deposit and a pet fee deposit.
My social security check is $1060.The rent is $600,the deposit is $600 and the pet fee is $250.
I know some would say to find a new home for my pets but I can't give them up they are like my children I never had.If my pets can't go I won't.My black lab is ten years old and my little guy is six.
I hope that I can get help to get us out of this car.I've seen homeless people like we all have but you never know that one day it could be you.
I would appreciate a hand up.I believe in karma and I have faith that the times that I have been in the postion to help others will come back now to help me and my furkids.
Thank you for any donation to help me and my pets and if I'm fortunate enough to raise over what that I need to get into this apartment I will use to rest for glasses.
God bless and thank you for reading my plea for help!
