Desperate Plea: Stop My Eviction

I’m on the Verge of Eviction — Please Help Me Stay in My Home

Hi, my name is Erin, and I’m asking for your help during one of the hardest moments of my life.

Right now, I’m facing the very real possibility of being evicted. I’m terrified. I’ve done everything I can to prevent this, but the situation has become more than I can handle on my own.

This isn’t just about falling behind on rent. It’s about losing the one place that gives me safety, warmth, and a sense of belonging. And I’m down to the wire.

How I Got Here

I didn’t get here overnight. Like many people, I was managing — just barely — until things started to spiral.

I lost part or all of my income due to [brief reason — job loss, medical emergency, etc.].

I’ve tried to stretch every dollar, delay bills, and negotiate with my landlord, but time has run out.

I’ve applied for assistance programs, but approval takes time I don’t have.

Now I’ve been served notice, and I’m dangerously close to being forced out of my home. I’m scared, exhausted, and still trying to believe I can make it through this.

What I Need — Fund Breakdown

I’m asking for [insert amount you need, e.g., $2,500] to stop the eviction and get caught up. Here’s exactly how it will be used:

$1,600 – Past Due Rent

Covers missed payments and late fees that must be paid immediately to avoid eviction.

$200 – Utilities

Keeps the lights, heat, and water on while I get back on my feet.

$100 – Transportation

Helps me get to job interviews, support programs and handle basic errands.

$300 – Basic Necessities

Groceries, hygiene products, and essentials to make it through the next few weeks.

$300 – Buffer for May Rent / Emergency Needs

A small cushion to avoid falling behind again while I stabilize.

Why This Means So Much

This isn’t just about money. It’s about getting a second chance — a shot at breathing again without the constant fear of losing everything.

If you’ve ever been close to losing your home, you know the panic, the sleepless nights, and the shame that comes with it. But I also believe in kindness, and I believe in the power of community.

Your support — no matter how small — could be the difference between eviction and survival. Between despair and a way forward.

How You Can Help

Donate — even $5 helps me get closer to staying housed.

Share — spread this with friends, family, and anyone who might be able to give.

Support — words of encouragement are deeply appreciated too.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading this. Thank you for caring. And thank you for being part of my fight to stay safe and secure.

With gratitude,

Erin
