Currently I am looking to find a safe environment to live, where I can grow and develop as an individual. Due to having no help with moving into my own apartment (not having a cosigner and not being able to make 3x the rent as is required) I am seeking aid in paying for my security deposit and first months rent.

After an extensive search to find a place that will lease to me, as a 19 year old full time student working a part time job, I have found an apartment. Unfortunately the landlord is requiring twice the security deposit, which is something that I did not initially intend, to make up for the fact that I do not have a cosigner. I am hoping to move in by August 1st so that I can have enough time to get situated with a hopeful job transfer before school starts in the fall. 

Being in this situation has opened my eyes to the importance of community and believing in the strength of that community. I did not think I would find myself in this situation going into my sophomore year and will appreciate anything that will help me through this time.
