Homeless Family Needs Help
Donation protected
My son and I are needing help. I lost my job at the Pepsi Center on March 14th due to Covid-19 shutting down the sports arenas. We were unable to pay our rent in April and May. Our lease ran out in June and the complex refused to renew so my son and I were out on our butts on the 4th of June.
My sons Godfather loaned us 25000 to cover the cost of an RV so we could have a place to live. We moved in on the 4th of June and have been parked in front of the godfathers house since. A couple weeks ago, we were told that the roof of the RV needed to be replaced at a cost of 7700 dollars. The tires need to be replaced at a cost of 1000.
On the 18th of July, I received a letter from unemployment that told me I was no longer job attached as of the 5th. The letter was sent out on the 7th. I was supposed to have registered for Job services by the 5th, apparently. My unemployment is pending review and, if you've ever been on unemployment, you know that means no money till it gets straightened out. They ae 4 weeks behind. I haven't been paid in three weeks.
We are out of food. Almost completely out of money and, today, the dog had to have emergency surgery to save her life. I know, most people would say I should have let her die but she was my husbands dog and since his death 2.5 years ago, has been my constant companion. It would have been devastating for us to lose her. That cost 900 dollars, being paid on payments.
Any help, even 5 dollars would start us out on the road to having a permanent place to live. It doesn't even have to be an apartment, we have the RV but need a place to park it longer than a week. Please, if you can, help us. I know times are hard right now but we would be very much appreciative. I just want a stable place to stay with my son and to go back to work!
