Help Roderick Long keep his home and belongings

So many people have been so generous to me in the past, and I hate asking for help again. But this hit me out of the blue today.

The tiny apartment I’ve been living in for the past 25 years I’ve also been using as storage (in addition to a couple of storerooms I’m renting elsewhere), so I live surrounded by towering piles of boxes. Well, today my landlord has finally lost patience and demands that I move most of the stuff out to a storeroom or be evicted.

Of course this would have to come while I’m on drastically reduced salary (for the summer) and struggling to meet even my regular expenses. Whenever I think I’m getting caught up financially, some new thing has to hit me to set me back.

Another storeroom of the requisite size will cost me in the vicinity of $350 per month; that’s $1050 for the summer. Plus I’ll need to rent a cargo van for a week or so, an additional $700.

So I’d appreciate any help! My minimum funding goal would be $1750 for storeroom fees over the summer plus the cargo van. But that extra $350 per month is going to be tough during the regular year too, so I’ve set the full GoFundMe goal at an aspirational $5000. Of course anything additional would also be welcome.

Alternatively, for those that prefer these, my Venmo is Roderick-Long-8, my CashApp is $ RoderickLong5, and my PayPal is longrob at auburn dot edu.
