My name is Carrie and this is Milo. He is not only my emotional support but my heart and my world. We have had a VER BAD 1 1/2 year! Milo stuck with me through being homeless the entire month of Nov 2021, through my time in a very toxic work environment, threats of eviction, eviction, insurance cancellation, utility shutoff in 90+ degree weather, etc., etc. Being out of work since May and picking up delivery shifts and temp jobs, I have had to choose utilities/rent so we wouldn't be homeless again or car payment which I needed to get to jobs. I chose shelter and air for Milo and me. Today my car was REPOSESSED! I lost my job because I couldn't deliver without a car and I am now trying to go to interviews by city bus since I can't afford to use Uber. Due to my unemployment and choice of a home or a car I became 4 months past due on my car. After 3 1/2 years of making payments the bank chose to take it. I found out when I was leaving home to work my delivery job. I lost that job that day. I DON'T ASK FOR HELP. I NEVER HAVE. I have worked and paid taxes for 46 years and now that I need help, no one will help me. I applied for utility/ rent assistance 4 1/2 months ago and am still waiting for a response. I have tried everything from church charities, GoodwiIl, 211, government assistance and everything in between. I don't want to be homeless again, especially with Milo! He deserves better! If it was just me, that's one thing but I will Not put Milo in a shelter. My rent is due in 8 days and I found out today that Our Florida is " out of money" so once again, No help. This is very humiliating for me because I have always taken care of myself. I definitely have lost all pride and self worth at this point. I am reaching out for help because I am out of options. PLEASE, any help is appreciated! I am so scared right now of losing Milo and our home! THANK YOU!
