Support Needed to Save Irreplaceable Items

One of my greatest weaknesses is asking for help but I’m at a point of desperation that I’m hoping for blessings that can be paid forward in the future. I’ve been homeless for a year next week and haven’t had a “real” home in 6 years everything has been in storage. Most of what’s in there at this point could be given away to bless others, but about 30% of it I can’t bear to lose. Although my children have lived with their dad in recent years, everything from their childhoods is there. Every trophy, ribbon, yearbook, photo, home video, hope chests of each of them with their baby books and so on. When my parents’ home sold 5 years ago after dad passed, my brother gave me a carload of childhood memories and a few things of my dad. They are also all in there. Both sides of my families ancestries back 400 years, all childhood photos, tons of home videos, awards and such. All of my legal documents birth certificates, social security cards, taxes, paystubs, titles to vehicles and such are also in there. For these sentimental and legal materials, I am desperate to pay a past due bill before it goes to auction Wednesday morning. I need to let most of the other stuff go but haven’t had the physical help to deal with heavy tubs stacked taller than me and furniture, but again the other is irreplaceable and would make both my living situation and family situation even more unbearable. I had never let it get 31 days behind but two months ago when diagnosed with a medical issue the copays for that trumped a storage fee. Unfortunately the late, local, lien fees have made a $220 a month fee now approaching the third month instead of $660 they demand $870 cash by close of business Tuesday. I keep getting about halfway but paying $90 a night just for a roof over my head it’s difficult to get ahead. I’m praying with a decent work day today and tomorrow and maybe a few generous souls that I promise to pay back as soon as I have a good day with a little more than my daily room fee, that I can save my property. It’s not the material things, it’s the memories, the things to pass on to my children, and the legal items that make dealing with government organizations next to impossible already. I am blessed to be here, to have a job even though not in my career, to have my 88 year old mom still alive although I haven’t seen her in 15 months, and to have friends and a congregation and I know many are worse of than I am but my struggles as of recent affect my mental health tremendously as well and I fear for that as well if I do not achieve my goal. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this. Unfortunately not using credit cards since 2008 separation for fear of debt and not having a legal address for a year makes credit or a loan not an option at the moment especially with the few days I have to attain my goal.
