Emergency moving expenses

Donation protected
Hey, I'm Matt, me and my friend Kelsey and her dog Kuma(that's who the picture is) live in a building that was recently bought by some big holding company in the city. We found out this week that we along with everyone else in our building are being evicted as soon as our remaining leases are up. We have at most until the end of August to make that happen, but the new building management is trying to push us out by the end of July somehow.

I just recovered from a broken ankle and was off work for over two months, and between having way reduced income from that and this year being hell, we can't afford to move that quickly at all, so we're hoping we can find some help this way. The goal is to cover first month's rent and the damage deposit for a new place (most places that are pet friendly seem to be going for around $14-1600 a month around here), and the cost of moving boxes, mail forwarding, changing our addresses on everything, restocking groceries and whatever else we might need to make the new space work. If we can get enough from this we'd love to hire movers to help us, since we won't be able to do all of this ourselves. Anything left over after moving expenses are covered will be put aside in a savings account to hopefully keep a buffer ready for if something like this happens again.
