Help me get my family a new apartment
Donation protected
Greetings everyone, I didn't want to have to do this because it is really hard for me to ask for help.
If you know me, you know that I'm taking care of my mom who has Alzheimer's and my daughter and our pets, all on my own. I don't say that for kudos, but to put things in perspective. I'm all alone in the world and I'm all my family has to keep us together.
We live in my mom's apartment where she has lived for over 20 years. The building is managed very poorly and we have to deal with flooding conditions in our bathroom that are totally disgusting and frequent. Three times since January 1st our bathroom flooded. Aside from that, our floors are broken and they take forever to fix anything. I've been waiting since last year for them to fix my bedroom floor. Between the mice and the water bugs and all the other things wrong with this apartment that they won't fix, it doesn't make sense to stay here.
The issues here are over whelming and I can't justify paying to stay living here anymore. I've decided we will not pay rent and just save that money to move out but even if I saved every penny, it would be several months before I could save enough to move.
So I am asking for help from my friends. If you could donate to my gofundme, I may be able to raise the money sooner. Moving in NYC is expensive and I don't expect my friends to help me get all that money up but any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.
