Housing expenses for Mom and I
Donation protected
Man, where do I start with this. Well, first off, I didn't want to do this campaign, but I don't know what else to do to get us out of this situation. Let me give you some backstory.
2016:
Mom and I lost our grandmother, which destroyed pretty much our whole family, and subsequently, most of our family abandoned us, leaving just mom and I together. A few months later, we lost our uncle, which we were really close to. Around October 2016, Mom and I moved in with Moms' fiancee/boyfriend in Dunedin, and we were comfortable there.
2017:
2017 started just fine. I got a job at the movie theater in March, which I'm still at. Everything was going great with Mom and her boyfriend, at least until September/October 2017. Mom and her boyfriend stopped talking to each other, and eventually, in December 2017, we were forced to move out, and we're now in a motel.
2018:
It's now February 2018, and we're still living in a motel. We've been here for almost 2 months
Living expenses/situation:
So basically, it costs us $400 a week to stay here, which we've been barely able to afford. We've been lucky with some friends of moms' helping us out, as well as moms' disability check, and my limited funds I get from my job. We can't keep trying to scrape up $400 a week to stay here. We need help trying to find a cheaper place to stay. We want to move into an apartment, but the problem with that is, we don't have any furniture. We'd need, at the very least, a bed and a fridge. If we can somehow get enough money to get the basic necessities, we would move into an apartment in a heartbeat. Of course, we'd also need some money to get into an apartment. I'm trying my darndest to try and support us, but it just isn't enough. Anything you can give, we would be beyond grateful for. We just need help rebuilding our lives, and try and live better lives. We're in dire need, as we can't keep affording $400/week to stay here. Any help would be greatly appretiated, knowing you're helping us get through this hard time we're having.
