Help Shanta Rebuild Her Life and Home
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Shanta. I’m a mom of 5; 2 are grown and on their own. I procrastinated about doing this; however, I decided to put my pride to the side and ask for help since I truly need it. Recently, I was forced to leave my place of residence due to being so far behind. Last year, I went through so many trying events, losing grandparents, my daughter being shot in her face in Atlanta, and dealing with a lot of health issues. These incidents caused me to miss so much work until I fell behind on my monthly rent. I tried to catch up after going to court, but I just couldn’t do it anymore. I found myself in more debt with my landlord and borrowing from everybody just to try to catch up. This past April, I decided to let my landlord know I couldn’t do it anymore, and rather than getting put out, I would rather just end my lease. That I did. My landlord was very understanding; she wrote me a recommendation letter for a future place of residence. However, the first place fell through as I did not meet credit requirements. I got frustrated, but I kept praying and being persistent. At the end of May, I was approved for an apartment with conditions, which means due to my credit, I’m being charged more to move in. My move-in date is 6/14/25! I’m excited and anxious for a new start; however, my move-in cost is $3500, and with me living in a room right now, still paying a car note, paying for storage for the little things I did keep, which is tremendously expensive, amongst other things for life and surviving, I can’t seem to build up the amount without having to take out due to other living expenses. I got rid of most of everything I had just to move out quickly. I’m starting over from scratch! I humbly ask for any help. I have been contacting local churches and charity organizations, but no help to avail. I have approximately 3 weeks left before move-in, and I just wanna get back on my feet and get prepared for a new school year and to become self-sufficient. I fell, but I have been trying my very best to get back on my feet! I just ask for a little help in doing so! Anything is appreciated: furniture, any household items as well. As stated, I’m starting from scratch! I thank you sincerely from my heart in advance!
