I am the main financial provider for my family of three (myself, my disabled mother, and brother), and while money has always been extremely tight, I have always been able to manage.
However, on December 11 my father dealt a huge blow of having the court remove us from a home that I have been making mortgage payments on for the last 10 years. In November during my attempt buy it in my name, he blocked the sell. Now, the circumstances of that are more a story of a very bitter man that cared nothing about the reality of his own children being homeless, but more about plotting to have an ex-wife thrown in jail. Thankfully, the judge was merciful and did not honour my father's pleas of jail time but ordered our removal from the home by Dec 14. I very quickly wrote the court a letter, explaining that my father was not suffering the “damages” he was claiming and highlighted the years of abuse and abandonment we suffered and managed to buy some more time.
I spent all of the holiday, working and searching for rentals. I spent hundreds of dollars in application fees, but in the end my teacher salary (and mother's SSI) were not enough to quality for any apartments or rental properties.
Then, December 27, my mother was taken to the ER for sudden internal bleeding that required emergency surgery to stop it. Many of her needed after-surgery care items and medications were not covered by her insurance so I had to pay out of pocket.
With the New Year, I managed to locate a rental that was suitable enough for my mother of manage with her disability. I even managed to work out an arrangement with the landlord for rent, however, many service fees in the prior effort to buy our home were charged as penalty since the sell didn't happen. This emptied the remainder of my account.
In returning to work, I discovered the referral for a position I was offered by a principal was filled without their knowing by people above them. And just like that, I was jobless.
And lastly, January 14th, in addition, to all my family has have suffered we have to endure the loss of the family dog (and mother's ESA), Pouncho. All in the midst of trying to move, and that has been just as disastrous. With all that's happened, funds for movers wasn't an option and the one person that was helping us to move had their vehicle totaled after it was stolen and wrecked.
But that doesn't stop Life-- bills are due, utilities are behind, and groceries are low; but I am just hoping to manage raise the remainder of what's needed on making the deposit and rent for the new place ($1800). Anything over will be used for moving expenses, and other medical needs. If you decide to help, we would be truly grateful. Thank you for your time and consideration.
