Homeless with 2 pups

Newest update: July 4th
I have been trying to secure a place and two places fell through. 3rd time is a charm(??!!??) I am out of my apartment now and staying/paying to be at a friends porch. The pups are with me as well as the turtles. We are “safe”; for now but homeless. This is a temporary spot so I wouldn’t be on the street.
I am still funding for moving expenses as well as some food/bill money. The rest of my belongings are in storage. Im trying to move out of state to a cheaper area.
If you care to help it would be greatly appreciated and not wasted.
I have about a month here.
Thank you for considering

New Update***Must be out of here by July 1st!! can you help me?!

Something has come up and I would deeply appreciate your consideration on the idea and whether or not you can or would help. I have faced so many issues trying to secure a place to live trying renting, lease or small mortgage. One huge issue aside from cost is; distance. I do not drive and many of the cheaper areas to live are very far away from town/city. The city areas come with costs that I can not afford with out the potential of sinking again. (Higher taxes,rents,water/sewer/trash etc)
Living on disability is tricky.
prayers are always super appreciated. Thank you for your time❤️

Old update.

Hello everyone I have a very big update to share. And I am asking for your help.
A great opportunity has popped up but first I want to say
I stalled out with funding because I have been having trouble securing an apartment. Being out of state, no car, and little monthly income also having 2 dogs made my chances very narrow and I got a lot of No’s. Plus add in the winter storms, Hurricanes, Holidays and the passing of my brother.
It’s been an actual up hill battle.

I have been searching and working on this the entire time. I didn’t feel right asking for more help when I had no landing zone. Luckily my land lord has been working around me/my apartment after the 30 day notice. He realized my financial situation and brother passing. I am still on a week to week basis and I have to go.

The new news is that I was able to clear up an old student loan through a low income program and it has opened up the chance for me to get a small mortgage on a small home in the same state I have been searching.

I have considered the responsibility and expenses and I would be spending way less of my 770 monthly disability check this way than if I rented. That would be life changing for me because I have always had to use my entire check On rent and electric; making it difficult to afford basic items and sometimes food.

This mortgage payment calculated would be just under 350 a month included is tax and Ins.
No water or trash bills if I am just out of the city.
There are also programs that allow me to have reduced taxes being on disability.

Everyone that has helped me so far has invested in me and the fur kids to get back up and be living again.
I have to pay to live somewhere and this way it becomes an asset instead of just a monthly bill. It can be the best out come of a crummy situation. I need to fund about $2,500 for estimated closing cost.
Everything I have funded I have sat on waiting to get an apartment only using some for electric bills, vet, glasses, Rx co-pay, bus pass, groceries and nothing frivolous. What I have saved is still for the transportation/driver, moving pod etc.

there are not enough words or emotions to express how thankful I am to have been rescued out of an emergency situation. I thought I was going to wind up on the streets and instead I was shown love, time, care and understanding.
Please consider helping me complete this journey. It’s the home stretch!

I love you all!!!!
Thank you for caring about us!!!!















Below is the campaign start. It’s come a long way!!

Hello Neighbors, friends and strangers!
Please help us if you can.

My name is Melanie and I am campaigning for emergency moving funds. Because I am on disability/low income I can’t do this alone and will wind up on the street with out the help!
I have sold my belongings , tried programs, churches, dept of families and advocates. No help.

I just need enough to get into a place.
The $4000 I am asking for would secure us a small place to live and the pod to move our stuff there. (I dont drive was never able) I intend to move out of state to an area with a lower cost of living.

I was given notice to move due to no renew lease,the building going under renovations as well as up for sale. I have been given a time extension as the other apartments get worked on around me so I can fund. This is my only outlet for finding help.

The new rents would be a 60% increase and i already just get by on my small SSI income of 750 a month and 100 food stamps. Rent being 650 a month

I have lived in this neighborhood for over 16 years and have been on ssi with no other income for the past few years of that.  No evictions ever.
It’s been hard living with out the basics like a simple hair cut or buying new shoes. I made it happen the best I could until now.

Though my everyday stress aside from my health problems has been to save for the future and moments like these; I have not been able despite my best efforts.
I am not proud of it; i pinched every penny, use coupons and just flat out went with out to get by as a regular way of life. It’s hard when it all goes to rent and electric.

It has been extremely challenging and tiring and now this.

I tried all local agencies, churches and the like; to be turned away for help because they just don't have it available and i don't have children. for one reason or another I don’t fit their criteria and there are already many many many homeless here.


Myself and the fur kids could really use your blessings with this situation. Any little bit you can spare would be greatly greatly appreciated and never ever forgotten. I’ve always paid it forward where I could.


Thank you so much for reading, sharing and understanding. Please help me from being homeless.  Help keep us a little family!
My biggest fear is that the gutter I’m looking at is my last chapter in life and I so don’t want it to be.
With love,
Melanie, Franky and Posh ♥️
