Urgent: Provide Shelter for a Young Family in Need

Donation protected
Our family is about to be living out of a hotel for an unknown period of time, but we need funds to help pay for a room.

My fiancé was wrongfully terminated from his job in January, denied unemployment when the job lied to the office about why he was fired, then it took six months for him to find a new job, leaving our family with zero income for half a year. We fell behind on bills and ruined our credit, and we’re now being evicted, but having a hard time finding a new apartment because of our credit and new eviction history. So now, my family, including my autistic almost-two-year-old and brand-new three-week-old baby, will be staying in a hotel until we can find someplace that will take us. The problem is, my fiancé just started working a month and a half ago, and of course had to take time off when our son was born, so we don’t have enough money saved up to pay for a room. If we could just get enough to pay for one week, we should be okay after that. Any and every contribution is so appreciated and will help put a roof over my kids’ heads.
