Help Danielle and Kids Avoid Eviction
Donation protected
My name is Danielle. I am a divorced mom of four. My divorce was finalized about this time last year. I have spent the last year rebuilding myself after the divorce. I moved into my apartment in October. Unfortunately, I lost my job in January. I have been looking for a job ever since. I have put in upwards of 100 applications and just haven't been able to find anything. I have been scraping by on luck, will, and help from a couple of people that love me. Unfortunately, I am running out of options. I finally got a job and started work today (7/23/25). Unfortunately, I also received an eviction notice today.
I have been working odd jobs, and I have been and will be listing many of my possessions for sale. I even had to sell my pet snake that I got for my daughter after I got my own place. My very small support system is no longer able to help me. I applied for help and was approved at Center of Hope. Sadly, they are only able to offer $600. Due to the rules of my lease, I have to pay this month's rent, all of the late fees, the $300 eviction filing fee, and next month's rent in order to stay. I plan on applying at a second place for assistance, but the application doesn't open until the 25th, and it isn't guaranteed that I will be approved.
Per the email from Center of Hope, who spoke with my landlord, I have until Monday (7/28/25) to come up with the rest of the balance, which is just over $2000. My hearing for the eviction is scheduled for 7/30. If I lose my apartment, I have nowhere else to go. I would be forced to sleep in my van or try to find space at a shelter. I have never been in this position before, and I am running out of time and options. Any help is greatly appreciated. In the event that I am not able to pay the balance before the eviction, any funds gathered here would be used to house myself and my children until I could find a new place to stay and until I start receiving regular paychecks. If you can't help financially, please share.
