Hello everyone,

I want to start off by saying I pray that nobody experiences circumstances that make them have to ask for help from strangers. I really do; this is extremely hard for us to even ask. But here we are. On 06/05/25, a default judgment was granted to our landlords, and we now have to leave our apartment by 06/11/25.

A little background on what’s been going on with us. We’ve been on our own since 2018. It’s always just been us relying on each other. We grew up in households where asking for help came with intense scrutiny, judgment, gossip, jokes, and more. So we both have struggled throughout the years working dead-end jobs trying to simply survive. In 2023, we made the worst decision moving to North Carolina. We moved into our apartment in 01/2024 and had just renewed our lease in 01/2025. Think about it, we had to be pretty good tenants to be offered a lease renewal. We were dealing with very stressful work conditions at both jobs but still made it a point to go live and entertain our folks because we knew how hard life was and we all needed to smile and laugh. It was partially our escape from the darkness. That is our one true gift that we give to the world. We dealt with depression offline as soon as the cameras were cut off. It was tough, but we did it. It all started going downhill in November of 2024 when our car was repossessed and taken from us. We had no form of transportation since. Then it went further south when my partner lost her job due to technical issues with the equipment that she was blamed for and was also denied unemployment in March. My income alone was not enough suffice the cost of living. Fast forward to now, as of May 1st, our apartment sold the building to another company who fired everyone and stopped us from using the Flex program and other essentials that helped with paying rent on time. Before our property management left, our leasing agent made sure to put us on a payment plan to protect us from eviction. However, as seen in the photos, the new property owners did not accept partial payments and immediately threatened us with eviction. We have tried to get help from local organizations referred from 211, but they were all out of funding. We tried to ask Medicaid, but we had to be in the program for 90 days. We also tried to sell our things but had no success as we had no vehicle to meet people. We didn’t ask friends or family because they usually are always struggling just like us. At this point, it felt like God was doing everything possible to block all opportunities to stay here because he heard our cries of misery and depression. So unfortunately for us, we had court on 06/05/2025 and lost our case. A default judgment was put into place for the landlords, and we now have until 6/11 to leave our apartment. We will not have anywhere to go, so that means we will have to leave everything and go into a shelter. We plan on going to NYC since that’s where we are from and it is the closest sanctuary city. The shelters in Greensboro are full to capacity, so we don’t want to sleep on the street with bags of stuff. I believe in full transparency as this is my first time ever asking strangers for help in our 7+ years of being on our own. We now desperately need help to cover the moving costs.

I once again, pray you all never be in the circumstances that we are in. God is moving us away from this foresaken place that has done nothing but drain us completely dry till we did not want to be alive anymore. But thanks to friends and family and His grace, we are still here.
