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.

Even if you get enough to stall the eviction,you apparently can not keep up the payment arrangement. The first turns right back up after the 29th. Sometimes, walking away and starting over is the best thing you can do. Just, in case you can't make your current accommodation work, you need a back up plan. You need to get to work on that immediately. I learned some really hard lessons. Getting a storage unit is like having an elephant on your back. Moving into a motel is worse. You never recover. Managing money is the best opportunity you have. Collecting any and all assistance you can find will make your own money go farther. Good luck. I can remember being 5 months pregnant and moving into a 1.5 bedroom apartment. That .5 was alargecloset big enough for a twin bed and toybox. Do what you need to do and get on your feet. Donating plasma is a vreat money maker. Merry Christmas

As i mentioned in my original post. I have applied for ALL assistance available in my area. Can't move if my income is low enough to not be able to make this rent. Staying put is the only option. I'm doing everything I can to make it work long term.
