We need your help; facing eviction
Donation protected
PLEASE HELP us not be evicted in 72 hours.
If you're seeing this, you're in our closer group of friends and acquaintances. This is embarrassing for us, but we have no choice but to use this last resort to ask for help from friends who may be able to help, even just a little. I NEVER thought I'd be doing a go-fund-me, but we are in very dire straits and have tried EVERYTHING. The last few days of weather cost us thousands of dollars of sales at the tea house and a huge event at the wine shop that would have been enough to pay our rent at least. We are currently living on pantry food and have enough to eat for at least another week. But if we don't pay our rent at home by 11:59 PM THIS THURSDAY, the 18th, we will be evicted. The businesses have taken everything we had, every line of credit, we've already suffered bankruptcy, and now with a credit score in the low 400s we cannot find another housing solution. I'm embarrassed, humbled, and feel VERY AWKWARD doing this. But we need help.
Rent rates are criminal, food costs, everything. And I'm willing to go into detail for anyone who wants to know what measures we've already taken (garaged one car and turned off the insurance on it, gotten denied for food stamps, we're on full coverage Medicaid but must keep Kaiser due to our specialist needs, and so much more!).
We try to post on social media like things are fine... pics from a bar or restaurant. And we ARE happy. But things have finally crashed in on us. These times are when we are trying to show support to friends' other businesses in Hillsboro where they help us with food and drink and we often spend less than $5 on iced tea just to get out a little bit and show support.
I don't know what else to say. But if we lose our home and dogs, I cannot begin to imagine what this will do to us.
If you are able to help at all, I will FOREVER be indebted to each of you!
