Well, when yall say y’all’s prayers tonight, please say a little prayer for my children and I…. Not sure if anyone knows our whole story but I will elaborate… we lost our home back in September and still don’t have one… been couch surfing, staying in hotels, in and out of shelters since SEPTEMBER… No i wasnt doing anything wrong to deserve it, my son was in the hospital for 3 months and the day after he came home from the hospital , i was served an eviction notice, because the landlord just up and decided she didn’t want us there anymore. No explanation, she just wanted us gone, so i tried my hardest to get the judge to allow an extension, brought all the hospital paperwork and an explanation of my side of the story to the courts, the judge didn’t care, gave us 5 days to leave…well, i tried and tried to find us a home, but its hard with less than perfect credit…anyway, so we were offered a place to stay until i got back on my feet in Kansas City, we went on a leap of faith because we were already given a 24 hour notice to vacate, and were already in a hotel, so we went there.. well as soon as things were starting to look up, she threw us out, locked us out with nowhere to go, so we went to a homeless shelter… I didn’t give up, I signed a travel nurse contact in Nebraska, took what money I had and bought us a camper. Well, my camper was too heavy for me to haul, and I couldn’t afford to pay someone to move it, so I had no choice but to leave it there because I needed to get to my destination for work. Well, I finished my contract there, then got a job offer in New Hampshire. I was excited. Well we came down to Florida to visit. Got my last check. I didn’t get the completion bonus I was promised, was shorted 24 hours, and on top of that, didn’t even get my holiday pay for Memorial Day. Mind you, I worked every single holiday and Mother’s Day during that contract, no questions asked. I called and asked why my check was so short. I needed that money to get to my new job. They told me that I was not getting the bonus, that wasn’t in my contract and they couldn’t do anything about it (I have the text message from my recruiter telling me that I was getting one) needless to say it put me in a bad position. Couldn’t afford to get to New Hampshire , much less survive 2 or more weeks unitl i would get another check..Now here I am, in Ocala, hoping and praying my job interview goes well so I can hurry up and get back to work…. A charity here said if I find a place, that they can help pay our security deposit… but that’s half the battle.. the eviction ruined me from renting from any rental agency, especially since no money is owed so I can’t have it removed from my record. My credit sucks because I ruined it by maxing out my credit cards when my son was in the hospital. I’m trying so hard to find somewhere, anywhere to call home. My children deserve it more than anything in this world, but it seems like every which way I try to go about this to alleviate this situation, something else happens, setting me back. Can yall please keep us in y’all’s prayers?? I have $5 to my name and I just hope and pray everything works out because all of this has took such a toll on us mentally and physically. I’m exhausted and it’s such a bad feeling to wake up every single day praying with all the strength I have that the kids and I have somewhere to sleep everyday. I just can’t take it anymore. There’s nothing left of me. All we own is what I was able to fit in my vehicle, and that ain’t much. And we cant go back to a shelter… I’ve seen things go on there that nobody should ever have to see
