Avoiding Homelessness

As many of you know, we need to find a new home before end of July… Covid hit us hard, wiping out savings, and we are still awaiting PJ’s disability approval from breaking his spine in two places last summer; he has been unable to work since. My job at the Covid vaccination clinic is ending the end of June, and we are so slow that it’s a day to day basis whether or not we come to work. Because of all of this, we have ZERO savings, not much active income, and a ton of bills. I have 3 really great jobs on the line, so we will be okay future tense, however if we cannot scrounge up moving costs, our family of 5 will be living out of our Durango. 


Because of Covid, medical bills, and frankly just poor previous choices, I’ll be real - our credit is bad. This requires a higher security deposit, in some cases an additional months rent at move in. The rental market is wicked, but we found an absolutely perfect home that would actually accept our credit circumstances, we just need to come up with move in costs. We have both asked everyone we can think of that might possibly be willing/able to help, with no luck. Neither of us qualify for any loans or new credit cards.. 


Please know that this is excruciatingly embarrassing to put out into the world, and if we didn’t have children, I wouldn’t even dream of asking - but we DO (9,3.5, 18mo), so my pride means nothing if it means them having a home. 


I appreciate your time reading this mess, and any/all help - even just a share
