emergency homelessness
Donation protected
I honestly dreaded making this at all but I figured it wouldn't kill me to try. This is not my first or even my third run in with homelessness and I've been too ashamed to bring it up on a broader scale, but as I'm very swiftly running out of time I wanted to at least try.
My family was suddenly evicted from our home after 5 years when our landlord suddenly raised the rent out of nowhere. I was lucky to have a friend of mine let me live in her shed for the past two months, but as she's going to college I won't be able to stay here anymore. I am very grateful to them and understand why they aren't comfortable having me here without her, so I began applying to shelters in the area and am hoping to get lucky in the coming weeks. Around this time is also when I lost service for my phone. It's also completely shattered and has issues working correctly.
My brother is moving in with my dad down south at the end of the month, but he and my mom are currently staying with my sister in a 1br1ba apartment in another state. While this technically is an option, Id feel guilty taking up my sisters space if I had another choice.
I've asked a few friends of mine if I'd be able to stay with them but haven't gotten an answer just yet. I am currently enrolled in school and I recently began a new job, but both are in Delaware and my sister lives in PA. I literally just got this job so I can't guarantee a transfer when I haven't even been there a month. Both my school and I are not confident I'd be able to finish online as I have diagnosed ADHD (among other things) and need a more hands on learning if I'm going to graduate.
All money donated would go towards a motel within a close distance of my job and bus trips/lyfts to and from work until I can save up a few checks and find a place to live with my mom. I get paid biweekly, but my first day was at the end of the pay period so I won't get paid this week, I'll be paid 3 weeks from now. This leaves me in an extremely vulnerable position.
Mentally things have just been difficult. I have been ashamed of my situation and should have utilized this option sooner, but it felt humiliating to have to do this. I know how people view those in my position and it's often met with "just get a job". I do have a job and I still need help. My family has been low income my whole life. We've been homeless a couple times since I was a kid. I'm 19 now and still in a bad spot.
Even a dollar would help. I don't expect anybody to bend over backwards to help me, but I'd be forever grateful to anyone who could assist me in this time. The money wouldn't solely go to me, it would also be helping my mom. Anything helps. If you read this far, or even just a share, I would be forever grateful. Thank you.
