REQUEST Need help getting rent paid

I am a single mom with a disability. My 2 kids also live with challenges. I work part time and have multiple meetings per week regarding my kids and myself. Which makes working more even harder. I've been behind in rent for months and have applied for every assistance available in my area and been denied (mostly due too lack of funds in my area). In order to stay housed, I agreed to a court order splitting my back rent over 6 months on top of my regular monthly rent, nearly doubling it. What a solution right? I know. But I'm in dire need of help by the 29th or my building will proceed with eviction. I just need to make it until tax return season, then I will be able to pay it all off and start fresh.

How much are you looking to raise? If it’s more than $200 you need to make a gofundme campaign.

Anything will help. I need more than $200 but anything I can put towards the total is helpful.

Well a gofundme is nice because lots of people can donate small amounts and see you reach your goal. “Anything helps” tends to not get a lot of traction here on this sub. Just a suggestion

Ok thank you. I've never set one up before. I'll look into it. Thanks
