Last year, we helped friends who were facing homelessness in the Bay Area. While our former roommates lived here, they skipped part or all of their rent every month, always with excuses, usually because they bought luxuries for themselves. When they broke lease early, they left us in a serious financial quandary. We've done all we can to mitigate the damage, but the Financial damage was too large for us to absorb, even with the help of friends.

so now we have to move, and we have approximately 10 days to find a place, pay the deposit and move our stuff.
