Urgent Help for Jackie’s Housing Needs

Hey all, my name is Jackie. I’m a single mother with two teenagers Lilly and Chance at home. We are struggling badly due to health issues and mental health issues. For over the past year, I’ve had to make decisions on whether we eat or pay bills. I was working up until the end of July, but presently, due to mental health and seeking treatment, I’ve not been able to work. No rainbow at the end of the storm. It just keeping worse. I need a blessing.

Due to the financial struggles, we are on a 10-day eviction where we can come up with money owed, file an appeal, or vacate our home. At this point, I don’t have funds to pay $4,500+ for my housing or even get a U-Haul and storage. I live in housing and due to working, they have been charging me $927 monthly, but because I was behind in May, I had agreed to an additional $327 monthly, totaling $1264 monthly. What I did not realize was in June, I was going to get bronchitis and miss work, so I was unable to pay this in June and then housing added $505 for a toilet. In July, it was just impossible to come up with the money. Since the end of July, I have been going to local agencies for help with rent and everyone keeps saying no, we can’t help. Now August’s rent is added into this sum and it is a grand total of $4,387 now with court costs added in as well. I keep trying to reach out to agencies but get no response or just 'No, we can’t help'. I’m clueless, this is my last shout for help. Please and thank you.

update! August 23 rd went in for eviction hearing. They gave me 10 days but housing has been trying to be patient with me but yesterday September 11 I was told they can’t be patient any longer they are going to have to put a order for repossession we are going to loose everything plus, our home. With September rent added in I’m over $5,000 behind. I have no car and no way to come up with this any and all help would be appreciated.

Your Truly,

Jackie Zak
