Hi Everyone,

 This is super vulnerable of me - I really struggled even posting this but ego aside, Im in need some help.

 This transition to New York has been difficult for me as some of you know. I had signed a lease with people I didn’t know well and my living situation QUICKLY turned sour and uncomfortable. I’ve spent way too many years living in tension and without peace to accept that for myself ever again. I found a different opportunity with an actual friend for September — so I fought very hard for my peace, which ultimately led to me breaking my lease. I could not continue to subject myself to so much tension where I found myself isolating. I deserve to live in a home that I feel safe, welcomed and stable. I knew it wasn’t a match on move-in day but I tried to make it work - only to find myself being fully bullied. If you guys know me, I am consistently friendly, considerate and can communicate, even when the conversations are tough.

Towards the end there were threats made towards me that fully left me feeling unsafe. For example, I was contacted by the mother of a roomate who threatened and harassed me via phone and text. I had communicated I would be leaving Sep 1st- I was contacted by the mother on August 22nd who demanded that I vacate the unit on August 26th, and told me to call 311 to find a shelter to go to. I was told that if I didn’t leave, she would move in herself and that “we’d be getting real close in my bed” because it was her room now. When I said that I was still on the lease and I legally did not have to leave by her requested date- I was told that I had no morals and threatened with both police and court.

 I planned to move into a new place for September with an actual friend. Of course, looking to sign a new lease in such a short time didn’t happen as planned, but I still had to vacate my unit for the September 1st. Due to this I was fully facing homelessness and was forced to use all of my savings to book a month long stay at an air bnb. That was my only option. 

 Now we’re working on securing housing for October but my savings are fully gone due to those circumstances.

I’m not having an issue paying my bills- I just have not had enough time to replenish my account to cover the move in costs for October, as almost all of my saving went to the Airbnb. I feel really embarrassed being vulnerable like this but I really need help getting the funds to secure stable housing. I am running out of earning time to secure the appropriate funds in 2 weeks.

 I’ve dealt with unexpected set backs leaving me in a position to set ego aside and ask for help so I don’t end up literally homeless.

 I wish my circumstance allowed me to receive help from family however that’s not an option for me.

Just need these funds more immediately than I am able to earn them.

 Love y’all 

 Jamie
