A Fresh Start After Homelessness

Hello.  I am a single mom who is just coming out of homelessness.  I have been approved for an apartment, but I must be able to come up with the security deposit and the first month's rent in order to take over the lease.  There is no way i can come up with both within the alloted timeframe.  After I get over this hurdle though, I will have no problem paying the rent.

I am requesting help from friends and family, if at all possible.  If you can in any way help, please know that I am VERY appreciative and humbled by your kindness and generosity.  Thank you so much.
