Help Melissa Avoid Homelessness

Story

My name's Melissa and I'm about to be homeless. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, so everything scares me. I have two emotional support animals who keep me going. They are the only children I will ever have. I have 30 days to come up with a deposit and some place to rent, or I'll be living in a car that can't even make it out of town. This is the situation: My apartment that I have lived in for the last 6.5 years has given me a termination of tenancy after the new owners have been harassing me and doing illegal things for the last 5 months. I can't afford a lawyer, but I make too much for legal aid. I can't afford anything really. I applied for a hardship grant through Walmart to pay for a deposit on a new place, but it was rejected because the apartments are saying it's my fault they're kicking me out. I don't know what to do. I have fought so hard to get to where I am, and now the apartments are taking it all away from me just because they want to be jerks. I am truly facing homelessness in about a month. I'm so scared and heartbroken. My life is pretty much over. I need help. I'm usually too proud to admit that. I'd rather cut off my right arm than ask for anything, but I don't know what else to do. Anything will help. I need money for a deposit or possibly a relocation. I don't want this life to be taken away from me. I don't want to live in my car or to live in the woods. All I need is a chance to keep my feet under me and still have the opportunity to heal instead of being scrubbed out of existence.
