Help Adam JacksonBey Secure a safe home

Hey everyone, my name is Adam JacksonBey and I’m in the middle of a crisis and need help.

Within the last year, I moved back to Ohio to help my mother transition into and out of rehab and have been staying with a friend of mine for a while. A couple of weeks ago, on a Friday, we had a conversation about what my next steps were with respect to moving out. I told him that I have a couple of things lined up but I was planning on moving out in the middle of January because I had been looking for a place, but it would be hard to find a place and move during the holidays.

The next Monday, he told me that I had to move out by December 18th, which puts me in a horrible bind. I won’t have the money saved up, I won’t have a steady job (I am probably starting a remote job in January, but that is up in the air now). I have been stressed and panicked about what is next because in roughly a week I don’t know where I’ll be living.

I’ve been looking for a place with a renewed sense of urgency over the past week and a half, but the problem I keep running into is that 1) I have bad credit. I’ve been living off credit cards for the better part of a year.

2) Even though it got dismissed, having an eviction on my record is hurting my chances of getting a place.

My only play seems to be to try and get enough money for a couple of months (maybe even up to a year) of rent upfront. I’ve emailed a couple of real estate agents with the general premise and I’m hoping for the best.

With all of that in mind, I’m asking for your help to help raise money so that I can try to convince a landlord either in Columbus or Cleveland to rent to me.

Thank you so much for reading and sharing this.
