Hi everyone! My mom, my younger siblings, and I lost our apartment a little over a month ago when our landlord raised our rent to more than we could afford. We are currently homeless, living a in a shelter in Anchorage. It’s been really tough on my family losing our apartment because this our 6th move in 5 or 6 yrs. My mom wrote this on her FB page right after we found out we were losing our last apartment.
“2016 - moved out of Mt. View after my kids were nearly shot in a drive-by shooting.
“2016 - moved out of Mt. View after my kids were nearly shot in a drive-by shooting.
2017 - moved when our landlord sold our duplex and they were going to owner occupy our unit.
2017 - moved out of the homeless shelter and into low income housing
2018 - moved out of low income housing due to harassment by neighbors including smearing shit on our doorstep, vandalizing my van, attempting to break our apartment windows, and assaulting my kids - during Fall finals at UAA
2019 - moved out of apartment due to mold growth (caused by drain pipe broken in the 2018 earthquake) that couldn’t be remediated while we lived there - at the beginning of the Fall semester at UAA
2021 - moving due to rent increase - mid-Fall semester at UAA
This will be our 6th move in 5/6 years.
I’m So Sick of Moving.
I just want a home.
I just want a home.
I just want a home.
A home where people don’t shoot at us.
A home where people don’t maliciously vandalize our vehicle or home.
A home where neighbors don’t attempt to assault my children.
A home WITHOUT MOLD.
A home where I don’t have another sketchy landlord.
A home where my neighbors don’t complain about my autistic son and threaten to call the cops because if his blowouts.
A home where we don’t have to move every year.
A home where I can actually finish my damn degree without having to move every damn year.
We’ve never had a home of our own.
I just want a home for my kids and me.
I just want a home ”
It’s really hard on my family not having a home of our own. It’s really hard having to move every year since my dad went to prison for abusing us. It’s really hard on my autistic baby brother for us to be moving every year. It’s hard on my mom who can’t finish her college degree so she can support us. It’s hard on me because I just want to be a kid. I don’t want to feel unsafe in a shelter where people fight and get drunk and beat on doors all night.
With this money, I am hoping we can put a down payment on a forever home for my family. Anything will help. Please help my family!!
