Help Us Move to a Cheaper Apartment

I know things are tough for everyone right now and we all have our struggles. My husband and I have been dealing with more than our fair share recent starting back with my pneumonia diagnosis, then the death of my dog, and now while I recover from my second bout of Covid the apartment complex we live in wants to raise our rent another $200 that we can't afford. So, we're asking for help to get the money together to leave this place and find a cheaper apartment somewhere so that we don't have to ask for help every few months or at all. We want to succeed, we want to thrive, but right now everything feels like its trying to stop us. Please, help us get out of an apartment that hasn't seen a successful maintenance visit since before 2020--we have a moldy, exposed wall in our shower that they have actually refused to fix even though they caused it during repairs--and into something that is a bit more affordable.

This wouldn't even be an issue if we didn't have to pay so much for the apartment we're in and if we had more time. Currently, our lease expires at the end of February.
