Hello everybody out there
Email me for communication if needed.
My family is in need of help from anyone that can help, we are looking to save our home to avoid experiencing homelessness.
1500 monthly for rent. I was under the impression when I signed my lease, that when I paid first and last, then when I renew lease, I would just keep going in my monthly payments with a new lease. But I was wrong and not prepared..
Here is a little backstory of my family’s life and obstacles we have been through this past year.
My name is Deedra and I am from brevard FL. I have two little boys, my 8-year-old with ADHD and my 7-year-old who is on the autism spectrum.
I'm on my second year of currently working at Walmart . Hours are cut every now and then so my hours differ all the time (no consistency).
I get paid biweekly and each pay period I am constantly paying 75% of my paycheck to catch up on my rent which is pretty much my whole full-time check.
I sprained my knee and I had to force myself to get back to work because I cannot wait for a confirmation of paid leave. I do not have good health insurance so I’ve sucked it up. But I gotta do what I gotta do for my family.
This was my first time at 25-26 years old, having a rental place on my own.
I was pushed out of my father's home due to some disagreements and my reliable $5,000 car, (that I saved up for and paid for) was in my father's name due to insurance and me not having any knowledge on buying vehicles.
I trusted my father, but he stole my car while I was at work and refused to give it back and sold it. So I lost out on my kids and I having a relationship with him and a way of daily needed transportation. I’m trying to buy another car before school starts for the kids but need a co-signer and none of my close family members can do that. If anyone has a reliable car i can look at email me please.
I used my tax refund this year to purchase another vehicle. Spent $4000, two months into having it, it broke down out of nowhere and repairs is over $400 which I will not pay because that is not fair.
I have been without a car for almost 4 months now. I’m not sure if I will ever save enough money for another new car until 2025 tax returns.
School is starting in a month and I’m not sure how much longer I can catch rides with work and grocery trips, especially with school coming back into session.
- My rent is $1500 monthly for 2bd/2b.
- My electricity bill is no more than $200 monthly.
- My water is no more than $100 monthly.
- No phone service currently due to not being able to afford it.
- Internet is on still but have not paid in a while. (I am on a family assistance program)
My landlord says I need to pay July rent ($1500) by the end of the month and have August rent ready by the 1st in order to renew my lease for this year. If I can get help for this month I can pay August in full on my own.
I just finished catching up on June and coming out of pocket for food this summer and asking friends and family for help.
Any funds will help our family in this tough time.
I have signed up for social security for my son who is on the spectrum to get his funds taken care of but no information on that yet and I’m running out of time…
I know that God and everyone has faith in me to make it through this rough patch. I’m one strong momma I’m just asking for any helping hands and prayers
Mental health is so important in these situations.
God bless you all ❤️ thank you for taking the time out to listen to me. Anything helps ❤️
