Help Keep Us From Being Evicted

Donation protected
My name is Amber, my son is Azriel and my husband is Geno. My husband lost his job in June of this year and it took three and a half months to find another. I had found a job at the end of July, I was previously a stay at home mom since my husband made more than enough for us to live on. We were able to pay off a couple of months rent, utilities, groceries, diapers, etc. Now we are behind two months rent since we are having a hard time catching up since we both could only find part time jobs. We are trying so hard to find a way to get more money. We are currently trying to look for second jobs but it's not working out and we are currently also paying for childcare since our schedules sometimes clash.

We are working with an agency that could pay off one month for us. We were served a court date to determine eviction on Sunday. I have since gotten ahold of their lawyer and made up an order saying as long as we are completely paid up through December 16 we will not be evicted however if we are not we will be evicted without a court date. 

On top of this our foodstamps were also messed up and we will not be receiving any until December 20th. We do have food but will run out before then and we will go to food pantries if needed so that all of our paychecks go towards trying to pay this rent off ( November and December), electricity and when we have to diapers for Azriel.

We hate to ask for help but we have our son and we really need the help. We appreciate any amount you can give. Thank you and happy holidays!
