UPDATE: This is no longer before winter, seems we have till just after. The problem has not changed, simply the deadline.

Hi, I'm Varian.

My household of 5 has entered a rough situation. On multiple fronts we are no longer able to stay where we are. On top of that, one person has chosen to split from the group, which is of course being respected, yet has dramatically changed our income options. Due to this, we are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Our plan was a 2 bedroom apartment for us 4, and we still are hopeful taht can be arranged, but its looking like 2 of us will have to go to a North Carolina to stay with relatives, while two of us stay in Minnesota in a studio to save and build credit, buying us time to find jobs and a place in NC. The only way that happens, is assistance with startup costs. We can cover monthly rent but not deposits, moving costs, or up front rent.

This is happening fast. Before winter is out, fast. The money we are asking for will go towards the various startup costs of getting into an apartment and moving everyone. Any extra will either go towards rent or moving in the final phase.

Any help will be the difference between staying housed and keeping jobs, or our household fracturing across the states and starting from scratch. Please, if you can spare even 5 dollars or share this so someone else can, we need the help.
