EMERGENCY HOUSING FUNDS

Donation protected
Hi Folks; What has happened is that in September 2015 I had Emergency Surgery to replace 2 broken metal rods in my spine. I spent 2 months bedridden yet the bills kept coming. Needless to say I fell behind on Rent. Then I had to have another Surgery in March 2016 as some of the nerves in my spine were being impeded causing incredible pain and partial Paralysis. I then had more surgery 2 months later to have a NeuroStimulater implanted into my spine. That floored me for another 2 Months. All this time I lost Income from odd jobs I did to make ends meet.Then on June 15th 2016 my Sister Ann who lives with me had started working to help pay the Bills had a severe accident. She fell and broke her left collar bone & her right wrist so badly it took 21 Rods & Screws & Artificial bone to put her shoulder back together again and it took 14 Rods, Screws & 2 metal plates to put her wrist back together again. She is facing more Surgery Feb 17th. Needless to say we fell way behind. My other sister Kerry started working dong Baby Sitting, Paralegal work etc. to help out. Thing is that because of Anns condition Kerry had to stop working to take care of Ann. Ann could not even bathe herself. She needed help even doing just that.!!! Needless to say We lost a lot of Income that kept the house running. We fell even further behind on Rent and other Bills.
The Landlord moved to Evict not due to Rent Arrearage but rather because he wanted to gut the Building and convert it into Condo's then sell it. He Evicted 6 Families, mine included.  He got a Court Order to Evict us Dec, 31st but he gave us a SHORT extension to find a place. We have not been able to find a place because they require the 1st Months, last Months Rent, One Months Security Deposit & 1 Months Broker Fees. The avg Rent here is $2300 PLUS. You need $10K just to move in. THAT'S CRAZY.!!! 
Well the time came & we moved out. We are staying with various friends but We only have a short period of time to stay at each one then We are on the streets again. Ann "needs" a place to stsy to recover. That will take up to 6 months.!!
I need with help raising at least enough to cover the 1st, last months Rent. Then try to work out a deal with any new Landlord if possible. I've applied to SEVERAL Programs to no avail.
As it is the Worst thing that can happen to any Family has happened to us. WE ARE NOW 100% "HOMELESS" as of Feb 1st. Through no fault of our own. This was caused by SEVERE Medical situations and a Greedy Landlord. We "HAVE" done everything We could to solve this mess to no avail. We are scared stiff.  
We are good, honest, hard working, Church going Folks who need help.
If ANY of you can help us PLEASE do. I'm scared stiff. "ANY" amount helps. Even a dollar. I don't know what else to say. I can promise these Funds will not be wasted. God Bless You All. PEACE:RONB
