I'm Scared of Being Homeless Again – Please Help Me Stay Housed

Hi, my name is Renee . I'm reaching out with a heavy heart and a lot of fear, but also with hope that someone out there will hear me.

I need $1,219.97 to cover my late rent & sewage-water & late fees added. I've exhausted every local agency and assistance program in my area—there’s just nothing left to give. I have no family or friends to turn to. It’s just me right now, trying to survive.

I’m currently working as a temp through staffing agencies and actively applying for permanent jobs every day. I also lost time from working as a temp due to being covered in hives due to stress rashes be

ing overly stress from challenges, difficult situations , and setbacks actively going in my life. I’m not sitting still. I’m still trying despite the negative interferences. I’ve been trying. The funds will only be used for this purpose to help clear this rent to a zero balance to get back on track

Six years ago, I was homeless for over three years. I slept behind buildings and on park benches. I know what it's like to feel invisible, unsafe, and powerless. As a woman, the streets were terrifying. But I fought hard to climb out of that darkness. I found housing. I worked. I built something.

But lately, life has knocked me down again. I fell behind. This is the first time I e ever been this late. And now, tonight, I’m staring at the edge of losing everything I fought so hard to rebuild.

I’m scared. I don’t want to go back to that life. I’ve come too far.

If you can help me stay housed—whether it’s $1, $5, $10, anything—you would be giving me more than money. You’d be giving me safety, stability, and a chance to keep fighting for a better future.

I’m not giving up. I just need help right now to stay afloat.

With gratitude and hope,

Renee
