Homeless in Fargo in the Winter/Evicted

Donation protected
My name is Margaret. I am 55 years old. Richard is my boyfriend/hubby of 7 years.  We bought a trailer home in Fargo ND over 4 years ago. We have always paid our bills, had good credit and kept up with things. Until recently. It has been really tough.  I don't know exactly what started the downward spiral, but it hasn't stopped. It seemed to be after Rich had foot surgery. He has had so much pain (and still does) . He Could hardly walk. Come to find out, a screw broke off in his foot! He is supposed to have it redone, but he doesn't want to go through it again, and he is supposed to have the same surgery on his other foot! Regardless, it was very difficult to work when he could hardly stand. We had a furniture refinishing shop in North  Fargo. Needless to say..we lost the shop.  Then we found out there were new owners of the park. The rent went up $45 a month. They will put in water meters and now we have to pay for water. It is now required to have insurance, pay for trash removal, amongst other increases/changes. We were already struggling and now all our bills went up more! We were selling our things just to try to make ends meet. We had our tire slashed on our old truck we have. It was devastating. The tire would not come off. That old beat up box van is all we have.  Anyway, the rent hikes and other added expenses was just the last nail in the coffin. It has been so stressful. It has been a nightmare! So the main thing is that we have lost our home, we have nowhere to go, we have no money, we will lose our things because we don't have any storage space. We have 2 kitties and we love them to death! Their names are Blueberry and Olive. I can't bear the thought of anything bad happening to them..
I am beside myself. I don't know what to do. We've lost it all. I'm  pretty sure the sherriff is coming tomorrow to throw us out because a "special execution" of the eviction judgement was  granted today.  We would appreciate so much, anything that anyone could possibly do to help us get out of this bind. I don't even have cat food right now for my Blueberry and Olive. 

This has been horribe. I can't  even think about the holidays...
God Bless,
Margaret
