I have never asked for help publicly, but recently I find myself in a dire situation. I am a single mom (father is deceased)of a beautiful 7 year old daughter. Having recently gone through a long, nasty, expensive custody case, I was over-run with attorney bills, so i got behind on my rent. Today, I paid October's rent which was due on the 1st. My landlord informed me that if I was late again in November, he would begin the eviction process. There is no way I can pay the rental amount again, in less than 2 weeks. So now I have the choice of paying the rent OR the utility bill (i will have to try to borrow to pay EITHER). Rent is $650 and utility bill is $480, and both are past due. We have been blessed to be in a nice home for over 4 years, and do not have the means to move, nor do we want to. My daughter has been through so much in the last few months.....I just want her to be able to remain safe and happy, in familiar surroundings. Any help is greatly appreciated. Seeking assistance with rent OR past due utility bill, as i do not have the means to pay both. Unforeseen circumstances (custody case and legal fees) have caused me to get behind, and unable to catch up without help. Humbly asking for financial assistance to get us through this month. I work a full-time job, and have been seeking a part-time job to supplement my income, so I do not need help on a regular basis. If i can just get caught up, and avoid eviction, my monthly income is enough to pay our bills. Please help us remain in our home. I am grateful for any amount...even $1 will help; it all adds up. Thank you for reading and have a blessed night. paypal address: ltstrickland72@yahoo.com
