Security Deposit & Moving Pod

Hello world. My name is Zion-Nicole. I'm a single mother of 4. The 5 of us once lived in Chicago. I made a quick decision to get my family away from all the violence. I have all boys and I want them to survive. I want them to live long happy lives. I did what any loving mother would do. I packed up our car and moved us to a much safer neighborhood in California. The issue I'm having is paying the security deposit and remaining balance for my storage pod. I'm afraid we may lose it all. It's not just furniture their the irreplaceable items that I'm concerned with. I would appreciate anything you can do to help. I placed a $500 deposit on a unit and was told just yesterday 8/4/17 that if I didn't have the rest of the security deposit by the 15th that I would even lose that as well. We're totally out of money and staying in a crappy motel. We can't sleep in the car it was repossessed. So this city has not been good to me, but I'm blessed that my children are safe.
