Keep JC with a place to live after mom died

Donation protected

So everyone since mother passed has been asking how to help. Well here's whats up. I've lost my mother... my best friend... my money... and now most likely my place to live.

Since COVID happened mom has been helping me with my bills because last year everything that happened made me flat broke taking care of her and her using my savings. We thought we'd get it all back.  We didn't. My rent has raised. Mom's policy for life insurance never happened. Our savings account seems to have disappeared. At the moment I have no home to move back to where I'm from. 

At the moment I will be able to afford my lease in a  few months but over COVID I can't get enough cash in the door. Even if I get a roommate, assuming my land lord allows it and he's debating it which delays my timeline, I can't afford the place for a few months. If I can't get a roommate I'll have to move into a friends house and after living here for over a decade the amount of moving costs on top of my insane high bills will cost the same as living here. So I'm boned.

No one in my family can help over COVID and our dying family members. All the elders in my family will be dead within the year and their bills are so high no one can help me.  All of my savings and backup plans have failed. I have almost nothing in the bank but its gonna be weeks to months before I can stand on my own two feet. I have a daughter. The place I can move to she can't be in because of a no child policy. Plus its just a room. And I respect and love them for the offer but still its gonna cost an arm and a  leg to move all of this in my house. I love the people offering me a place. I just don't wanna have to yet. Worst case is I can slowly move out over two months while working to death, take a new place in a  few months, and boom. But I'd have to fix my credit and it takes time away from my daughter. It's gonna cost so damn much to pack all this, move into storage, then move into this place while paying my outstanding bills... I mean the cost is the same really.

My car died before mom died. It cost me a lot of insane expenses. I have never asked for money help in my life. 

My birthday is sept 14. So consider it like a birthday present saving grace. I'm completely out of options. So many bad things have happened since mother passed I don't like sharing them. I'll answer them one to one. But not public.

I'm desperate and I'm scared. I need your help.

All of this money raised is going to my mounting bills. But my raises at work don't go thru for a while. I'm looking for second jobs. But my medical bills this year destroyed my savings I made trying to restart this year.

Any money you can donate goes to my bills and food. If I can keep this house its because its been my home for a decade. I don't want to move. I've been thru too much lately.

 

My best friend, my mother, my protector... died before our investments could work. I'm lost and I'm alone and I'm scared. Please any support is welcome. I just don't wanna lost my home. Soon I'll be able to afford it. But the next few months is scary and I need help. Until I can get back on track with more hours and life.

I appreciate any help. Please and thank you. I can barely function since she died. I'm desperate. 

Best wishes to you all
