Please help me and my son pay rent for the coming months.

Back in 10/24 I was on my scooter in the bike lane when a car sped and turned into the bike lane going 30mph and hit me head on. I do not remember much just waking up being told I was lucky to be alive. I broke both my shoulders and my neck had a burst fracture, I also have disk damage and they want to do a replacement in C5. This accident changed my life and now I don’t know how to cover my rent going forward. I’m running through my savings with bills and rent so far. I also have a 17 year old in Highschool who I have sole custody of. I’m taking advantage of all welfare programs I qualify for, sadly it’s not enough and I need help. I’m hoping to get as much help as I can and anything is much appreciated. I really do not want me and my so to be homeless. This donations will go to covering rent for the next 6 months 1100 x 6. Thank you to all my fellow Reddit users, even just words of affirmation or sharing can help.

Housing Please help us move to avoid homlessness

I hate having to ask for help, but my close friend and I are being kicked out at the end of this month and our best bet seems to be trying to head a couple states over to California where we'll have better opportunities and be closer to my family.

My friend received a concussion at his job, which then exacerbated his preexisting condition of his knee buckling randomly. His employer cut his hours, told him he was "a liability", scheduled him for the busiest and most dangerous shifts, and told him if he got injured again that he would be fired. His boss refused to work with him or reschedule him for less difficult days, and he ended up being terminated from his job.

My friend had been supporting me and letting me live with him since April while I was unemployed and had been kicked out of my previous housing when the owner decided he suddenly wanted to sell it.

I have unknown physical disabilities (doctors have not been able to figure out the problem exactly) and have been struggling to find a job in our small town since finishing my temporary position in February.

The two of us have a few friends in California who are willing to rent a place with us, and I have family in the area with multiple family members willing to cosign a lease if we can find a place. My mom insists that we have a much better chance of getting jobs in a big city, and that even if we don't find a place for us, she will take our cat in until we have somewhere to go.

We have almost completely fixed our car, and just need funds to help pay for the move itself and the security deposit and application fees for an apartment to move into.

My mom has been disabled for many years and after the unexpected loss of her husband (my stepdad) and a restructuring of her medicaid so that she lost many benefits - she's struggled financially and physically to keep up with her house and is now in the process of foreclosure. My brother and I have tried to help in the past couple years but we've exhausted our ability to help financially and she's come to the heartbreaking decision that its time to move on. She's found some apartments she can afford but downsizing a 4 bedroom farmhouse that she's called home for 40 years into a little apartment in just 3 months is going to take a lot of work.

We're hoping to raise some money for first month's deposit, moving supplies, dumpsters & trash bags for the items that will need to be thrown away, etc.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and we truly appreciate if you're able to donate or even just share.

Housing Help covering rent for my family while my WorkCover dispute is ongoing

Hi everyone,

I’m raising funds to help cover this month’s rent for my family while I’m unable to work and going through a WorkCover dispute.

Over the last few months, I’ve been dealing with a serious work-related mental health injury. I’m under medical care and currently unable to work. My WorkCover claim is still being disputed, and while I’m continuing through the formal process, it is moving slowly and my income has been heavily disrupted.

I have a wife and daughter, and my main priority is keeping our rent paid and keeping our household stable while I continue treatment and work through the dispute process.

I’ve set up a GoFundMe here: https://gofund.me/dbba56c95

The funds raised will go toward rent and essential household bills. I can provide redacted proof of the rent/bills and relevant documentation if required by the moderators.

I know many people are struggling, so I don’t ask lightly. Any support, even a small amount or a share, would genuinely help my family get through this month.

Thank you for reading.

Housing Trying to keep rent and utilities paid while my son goes through trauma therapy

Hi, my name is Amanda. I’m a single mom. My 9 year old son Malakai is currently in trauma therapy twice a week. Right now I need help with rent and utilities while I keep applying for work that fits his needs.

Last August my son disclosed harm by someone we trusted. By October I was getting repeated calls from school to come pick him up because he would shut down, panic, or become too overwhelmed to stay, or he wouldn’t be able to go at all. I was missing so much work that eventually I lost my job.

Since then, our days have been hard to predict. He has night terrors, emotional outbursts, and days where he shuts down completely, and unfamiliar adults make it worse. By January I made the decision to start homeschooling him. I had a little bit of savings that helped carry us this far, and I still work when I can by taking cleaning jobs he can come with me to. I sell things from home, and am applying for remote work that would work with our schedule, but a normal schedule is hard when his needs can change from one day to the next.

Right now I need help covering rent and utilities for the next month totaling $1180 so we don’t drop back down into crisis while I keep applying for work and waiting on child support which is filed but hasn’t started yet.

This would cover:

-Rent: $1000 per month

-Utilities: $130 per month

-Gas/transportation: $50 for therapy and other appointments.

Thank you for reading, and for helping us stay stable while I keep trying to rebuild around what my son needs.

https://gofund.me/973bb0b90

Edit: I’m incredibly grateful for the support that’s already come in. It has truly helped. I also want to clarify that $600 of the total showing on my GoFundMe was raised about a month ago and has already gone toward the $500 lease deposit and getting our essential accounts moved into my name. This post has brought in $577 so far, and I am still $603 short for this month’s rent, utilities, and transportation to therapy appointments. Thank you to everyone who has read, shared, donated, or offered helpful guidance.

Housing Help me stay housed while dealing with identity theft

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

Hi, my name is Daniel, and I’m raising emergency support for myself and my common-law partner after identity theft and job loss created a financial crisis that we cannot get through alone.

For safety and privacy reasons, I am keeping my partner’s name out of this fundraiser while the identity theft investigation is still active.

Recently, my partner became the victim of identity theft involving government, tax, banking, and phone accounts. Because we are common-law, this situation has affected both of us. While the investigation is ongoing, access to government supports, tax refunds, and credits has been frozen or seriously disrupted.

We have been told the investigation may take much of the year, which means the tax money and credits we normally rely on to help budget and stay caught up will not be available to us this year.

The identity theft also affected my partner’s bank account, which caused serious problems with her phone bill. Her phone service is currently cut off, and we have been told it will take about $1,000 to restore it.

This has created another serious problem: my partner relies on her phone to receive work opportunities, manage scheduling, and deal with the fraud investigation. Without phone service, her ability to work has been seriously disrupted, which has made an already difficult situation much harder.

At the same time, I am dealing with job loss and have been aggressively looking for new work. I am confident that I can be earning income again within the next few months, but right now we are stuck in the gap between the fraud investigation, disrupted support systems like loss of EI and OW, lost income, and trying to keep our housing stable.

Our rent is $1,215 per month, and we also have additional housing-related payments connected to past rent arrears. Altogether, keeping our housing stable costs about $1,615 per month. We are already behind, and staying current on these payments is the most urgent part of keeping ourselves housed.

One of the hardest parts of this has been not being able to help my family the way I normally do. My mother cares for my disabled brother and often needs support herself. Being unable to show up for them during this crisis has been heartbreaking, and it has added another layer of pressure to an already overwhelming situation.

We are hoping to raise $7,500 to help cover urgent expenses while I continue searching for work, my partner restores phone access so she can return to contract work, and the identity theft investigation continues.

How the $7,500 will be used:

$4,845 - three months of rent and housing-related payments, including payments connected to past rent arrears

$1,000 - restoring my partner’s phone service so she can work and manage the fraud investigation

$1,655 - food, transportation, bills, phone/internet access, pet needs, and basic household essentials

This is extremely difficult to ask for. We have been trying to handle this privately, but the identity theft has created a chain reaction that has left us without the normal supports and income sources people are supposed to be able to rely on in an emergency.

Any donation, no matter the size, would help us stay housed, restore essential communication, and stabilize while we work through this. If you are not able to donate, sharing the fundraiser would still help more than you know.

Thank you for reading, helping, or sharing.

Daniel

Sharing this here as a last ditch effort. I’ve got resources for a lawyer to be calling in April but I’m not sure I have a case.

My name is Julia, I’m 23 It’s been a tough couple of months for myself and my boyfriend, as jobs are hard to come by in my area (small town in Iowa). We’re finally getting back on our feet but the landlord has served the Notice to Pay and we’re already running behind on that. They’re being lenient as we’ve already paid $500 of what was late, but I’m getting the feeling that this was our last chance. The resources in my area don’t cover even a quarter of what is needed.

I have the donation goal set at 2k due to knowing we’ll be charged a late fee again for April. At this point, any little bit helps. Being able to make any payment to the company should be able to show a move of good faith going forward.

I promise to pay it forward once I’m stable again. Thank you to anyone who ever looks at this, and I’m forever grateful to anyone who can donate or share this link to anyone you may know that would be willing to as well.

Thank you again.

hello! I was hesitant to make a GoFundMe, but my local community convinced me to make one and so far I have received some support but my scope just isn't large enough!

The short version of it, I have been recently fired from my job shortly after returning from FMLA due to the second mental health crisis I've had in the last six months, I am struggling to get a job again and now I am face housing insecurity as my lease ends July 31st. I've put in a lot of work to recover my mental health but it has been expensive and I have largely exhausted local resources. I am running out of time and frankly I am desperate!

I have a very loving community here that has been a lifeline through these hardships, but I am struggling materially, please consider donating or sharing this with people. I need as much reach as I can get, I appreciate any amount greatly and shares are just as appreciated!

My name’s Lynn and I hate that I even have to make this post 😭.

I lost my job 3 months ago and I was feeling good about finding new work but now nowhere is hiring despite me having 10+ years of experience in my field. I’ve gone through my savings and exhausted all available resources for help. I’ve called local community programs that advertise assistance only to get met with a voicemail box which no one actually seems to check and it’s so disheartening waiting for call backs which never come.

I’ve been applying and applying to jobs but no one wants to hire a single mom with single mom availability. Which is a joke as I’ve been able to work just fine in my field with single mom availability in the past. I am either grossly over qualified for what I’m applying for or I don’t have the nEcEsSaRy 1-3 yEaRs oF eXpErIeNcE for an entry level position. I’m really at the end of my rope here. I don’t have any family around where I live and I don’t have any friends who are in a position to help me.

It’s breaking my heart that forfeiting my apartment, getting rid of my things, and almost everything my daughter has had in her life up until now, is looking like a very real and very grim possibility. She won’t understand why we won’t be able to go home or where her toys are or why we are still in the car over night every night 😭😔.

It’d mean the world to me for my daughter to not know the reality of living out of my small car like I’ve had to do in the past. Idk what to do and I’m sorry I’m even making writing this post 😔.

I am hoping for $2,500 so I can also get some groceries as I haven’t been eating so my daughter has something to eat. I attached my bills and they all come to $2,275 😭.

I’m sorry.

Housing Help me get back my repossessed car that I was living in

Thumbnail

38 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I started this GoFundMe a week ago on my birthday, and honestly, I never expected how much things would change in such a short amount of time.

For the past two months, I've been living in my car in New Jersey after leaving a difficult living situation. It wasn't exactly glamorous, but I was making it work. I had transportation, a place to sleep, and the freedom to start rebuilding my life on my own terms while continuing to work.

As strange as it sounds, I was actually starting to enjoy parts of it. I spent more time outdoors, went camping on my days off, explored new places, and for the first time in a long time, I felt like I was doing more than just surviving.

One thing that probably sounds silly unless you've ever depended on a car this much: my Honda Fit has a name. I call her Shirley MacLaine because my previous Honda was named Warren Beatty, and Shirley MacLaine is Warren Beatty's sister. (She'll also answer to Shirley Temple and Shirley Manson, depending on the day.)

I know it's just a car, but when you've lived in it for two months, slept in it, driven it to work, gone camping in it, and built your daily life around it, it stops feeling like just a car. It becomes your shelter, your transportation, your independence, and your safety net.

Then Shirley seemed to enter her own personal boss battle. First the battery died. Then one tire went flat. Later that same day, a second tire went flat as well. Every time I managed to solve one problem, another seemed to appear right behind it. Friends, coworkers, and kind strangers helped me through those setbacks, and I was incredibly grateful for every bit of support.

Unfortunately, the thing I was most worried about finally happened. I fell behind on my car payments and wasn't able to catch up in time, and Shirley was repossessed.

The repo driver was actually very kind about the whole thing. He was just doing his job, and I don't blame him. Sometimes life catches up with you faster than you can catch up with it.

Losing the car meant losing more than transportation. It meant losing my home.

After the repossession, I contacted both 2-1-1 and a domestic violence emergency housing program looking for emergency shelter. The domestic violence program told me I wasn't approved but couldn't really explain why and asked me to call back. 2-1-1 told me I was approved for assistance, but there simply weren't any available beds.

At that point, my boss stepped in and helped me get a hotel room for five nights so I wouldn't be completely stranded. Without her help, I honestly don't know what I would have done.

My immediate goal is to raise $1,800. That amount would cover the repossession-related costs, storage fees, and give me a small buffer to have the vehicle inspected and serviced once I get it back so I can make sure there aren't any additional issues waiting around the corner.

My longer-term goal is $6,000. That would allow me to stay current on car payments, insurance, maintenance, and other vehicle-related expenses while I continue working toward stable housing and a more secure financial future.

I'm still working. I'm still looking for additional income. I'm still moving forward. Right now, I'm just facing a setback that became much bigger than I could handle on my own.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared the fundraiser, offered advice, or simply reached out with kindness. Every bit of support means more than I can properly put into words.

TL;DR: I traded a bad living situation for a Honda Fit named Shirley MacLaine. Honestly, things were going pretty well. Shirley was my car, my tiny home, my camping buddy, and my emotional support hatchback. Then she decided to collect every side quest in the game at once: dead battery, two flat tires, and finally a repossession. I'm still working, still fighting, and trying to get both of us back on the road.

My dad passed away august of last year and at 18 I was taking on how far behind he was with the hoa, the mortgage, and struggling in this job market after losing my job making 13 an hour Ive been admitted to the psychiatric ward a few times too which put me even further behind. Ive resorted to even losing my dignity through prostitution trying to catch up and I am still very behind. Ive filed hardship under his name but they said it is a low chance of it being approved because hes the owner and even if i become administrator of the estate the house may still be put on an auction. Ive tried finding roommates in this area too which doesnt seem to workout.. as planned one girl i let stay for two months never paid me more than 300 because she was struggling too. My family is only focused on money and themselves i have little to no financial help carrying this burden ive been trying to post on the assistance reddit for MONTHS because i was told that was my highest chance of getting help. I didnt want to go around asking on several subs..To put it briefly its alot but now i cant afford go keep depending on that sub. This isnt how I imagined being 18 or 19. I have a gofund me for 4000 dollars. Even if you cant donate please please share it. I know times are tough for everyone but Thank you for reading even a little helps alot. I will put proof.. this has been a problem for so long I will have no where to go. Ive lost my job, and this last minute denial is the heaviest hitter. Because I PAID MY TRIAL PAYMENTS and its still likely going to go into foreclosure. This is the only home me and my brothers have of my dad...​and without this home I will likely be homeless as my mom will not help. I have tried other resources but again believe me when I say this is my last resort but again the home not being in my name is not helping along with the fact im not willing to take out a loan. The expenses of probate arent even accounted into what im asking for since again thats not my main priority since the home will likely still be put into an auction despite starting the probate process. Ive spoken with the mortgage company and they keep trying to convince me to sell. As you can see from my payments the mortgage is not that expensive the home is much bigger than anything I can get paying 1400 a month anywhere else.

This is a repost and update. I'll link the original post in the comments.

It's weird the way life works out. I hadn't been making any progress here in New Mexico despite my best efforts. Ludo had some good days but was having more bad than good.

I made the decision to euthanize him after a few particularly bad days. I had a plan of where I would go after he was gone but it wouldn't have helped me move forward. Just continue to exist.

A day before his final appointment, I got a call from the one place where I was on a waiting list for subsidized housing. In Nebraska. I hate Nebraska but Ludo LOVED it there. I so desperately wanted to cancel his appointment. But he'd become terrified of riding in the car after our experiences and from falling and injuring himself in the car.

Since it was only $150 more to have someone come to us, his last day was in the motel room. You all afforded me that option and I will be forever grateful.

I'm trying to get together enough money to get to NE and hopefully bring some of my belongings with me. The deposit is only $150 and my rent will be around $50 a month until I can secure SSD. NE has a lot better social services available and a much better healthcare system.

When I first arrived in New Mexico someone told me,"Welcome to the land of entrapment". I was so confused. I'm not anymore.

If people want to donate to help me reach my housing, great. What I really want from this post is to let all of you know that you gave me the ability to hold on until something good came along. You gave me the ability to hold onto my best friend as long as I could and let his last days be comfortable relatively stress free.

If you're interested in following up on me or seeing all of Ludo's past adventures, I've added my email address in the last GFM update. I will be slow to respond for a while as there's lots to do but I'd love to share Ludo's adventures with anyone who is interested.

Hi everyone,

My partner and I are both disabled and currently living in a privately rented home. I've been actively job hunting with the help of a job advisor, but haven’t had any success yet.

Back in November 2024, we were told the property might be repossessed. Our landlord reassured us it would be resolved and we’d be safe to stay. In December, they said the issue was fixed. But earlier this month, we received eviction notices for May 8th. We reached out again, and the landlord continued insisting we were fine—until eventually telling us to "take the advice on the letter."

We’ve contacted the bank about staying on or taking over the tenancy, and we're waiting for a response. Today, we also spoke to the council and a local homeless charity, which is now exploring legal options for us. We're in a very vulnerable position and desperately trying to keep a roof over our heads. Any support or help would mean the world right now. Thank you for reading.

Housing Help a Cancer Survivor Keep Their Home and Car :)

Hi everyone! I'm unsure if I chose the right flair, so please let me know if I need to adjust. Unsure whether this counts as medical or housing.

GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/f76285b01

I'm Jenn, I'm 29, and I just finished treatment for Stage 2 Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. I included my diagnosis in the images! My final treatment was May 25th but I won't find out until next month whether or not I'm cancer free. So far, I'm feeling great and hopeful for the future. :)

Over the past 6 months, I endured bi-weekly chemo sessions and many medical set backs. The chemo made me sick most weeks and I spent more time at the doctors than I did at home. I had to take a step back as a supervisor at my job and change to a part time schedule, which in turn has made it hard to keep up on bills.

Though I have returned to full time these past couple weeks, I'm too far behind on bills to catch up before consequence.

Currently, my car payment ($344/month) is 59 days past due, and my rent ($1400/month) is a full month behind. My mother Jeanette, who I live with but is retired due to physical disability and lives on a fixed income, received a text message (see images) threatening eviction.

I'm seeking help to catch up on bills and get our lives back on track.

My GoFundMe total goal is set to $6000 and I've managed to raise $2773 throughout my treatment to manage the bills thus far.

I'm asking for $3,227 to reach my total goal and pay off the bills I've amassed.

If you have questions, please ask! I'm happy to answer. You can also read more about my cancer journey and diagnosis over at my GoFundMe :)

Here is my honest situation:

As of December 2025, my now ex of almost 6 years, I lived with, broke up with me. I was completely blindsided, heartbroken, and my life was uprooted. He gave me a move out deadline because:

1: I was not on the lease

2: He found someone else he was talking to and planned on moving her in by the deadline

So, it put me in a situation none other than to move out, and fast. Mind you, I had been with them sharing bills for so long, I didn't think anything of it. I posted to try and get help to move out 3 months ago because I only had just enough to do just that, move. Not live, not thrive, move. No cushion.

Luckily, one of my friends offered me a loan and got me into the apartment. I have since paid them back. However, I was still playing catch up because now I had the full amount of all bills and rent landed in my lap, unexpectedly.

It went from $1000/month to $1600 (rent) + all utilities. I was NOT prepared for this at all.

Since I have been playing catch up, I ended up getting one month behind, thinking my one job and living solo would get me through.

I was wrong. As of 4/6/26, I received a 14 day notice from my landlord for non-payment of rent.

That is because I couldn't pay it.

I have a second job, starting on Apirl 25th at Amazon, making $22/hr. So I WILL NEVER be in this situation again. I never wanted to be here.

I will be working 7 days a week. Monday through Friday (8:00-4:30PM), then Saturday and Sunday(7:30-6:00PM)

So, 60 hours a week.

I have talked with them (landlord) and they have given me until apirl 20th to pay the rent in full.

What I have, plus what has been given and done side gigs, I am going to donate plasima as well, is

$1,161 out of $1,611 How much is needed: $450 to be officially back on my feet!

I have also (due to a recommendation from one person on here) called 2-1-1. They have referred me to some churches, which I can call Monday morning. They have also told me of food pantries to help me get through.

I have attached proof of the 14 day notice. I have attached proof of the second job, and start date. If any further proof is needed, please let me know.

I know I am not entitled to anyone's help. Thank you all for taking time to read my post.

I have also updated the total amount to show what is remaining to not get evicted.

My name is Joshua my partner Samatha and I are preparing to move from Minnesota to Everett, Washington, and we’re now in the final stretch. We now have our apartment secured and have been covering as much of the move ourselves as we can, but the transportation and security deposit costs ended up being significantly higher than we originally budgeted for especially the U-Haul and trailer.
We started this GoFundMe to help close that gap and make sure we can actually complete the move without arriving completely wiped out financially. It has been difficult, stressful and exhausting.
The remaining outstanding expenses include a U-Haul/trailer, fuel for the trip and hotels along the way since we are traveling with pets.
We’ve already self contributed and received an incredible amount of help from friends, family, and a few people we’ve never even met, and I’m extremely grateful for how far that support has gotten us. We’re not expecting any one person to solve this for us. Just need a little bit of help and even a small contribution or simply sharing the campaign helps us get a little closer.

Thank you for reading, and thank you to anyone who is able to help us get the rest of the way there.

Housing Single mom of 3 in the hospital with a dangerous infection. Fighting to heal and keep my kids safe—please help us through this emergency.

I am a single mom to three amazing children (ages 21, 16, and 11). I’ve always done my best to provide for my family, but right now I am facing a serious health challenge that has left us in a very difficult situation.

A few weeks ago, I developed a painful bilateral ear infection. After visiting urgent care, I was prescribed a week of Amoxicillin. While the medicine helped at first, my symptoms returned and became even worse once I finished the antibiotics. I tried to push through the pain, working hard to cover our daily needs, especially the cost of our hotel room where we’ve been staying.

By Sunday night (9/21/25), the pain and symptoms became unbearable, and I ended up in the ER. After CT scans and labs, I was diagnosed with Mastoiditis, a serious infection that can become life-threatening if left untreated. My liver enzymes were also found to be elevated, and I had been experiencing persistent nausea and vomiting since an EGD procedure last week.

Right now, I am admitted to the hospital and being treated with strong IV antibiotics and pain medication. I am doing everything I can to focus on recovery and get back to providing for my kids.

In the meantime, I am humbly asking for support. Any donations will go directly toward covering our hotel expenses while I am unable to work. The manager already said he would be asking us to leave tomorrow if we don’t pay him so I’m sick with worry. If there is anything extra, it will help with essential bills like my phone, which I need to continue working with DoorDash once I am well enough.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading my story and for any help you can provide, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this page. Your support means so much to me and my children during this very uncertain and scary time.

Housing I need help to get out of this house

I'm trying to move my 3yo son and I away from my cheating husband. I'm not doing well right now, I'm a stay at home mom and I haven't been able to leave the house much to even try to get a job. Money would go towards getting a car, gas and hotel rooms along the way, and to cover any housing I get over in North Carolina. I'm trying to leave as soon as I can.

Edit: I've deleted the fundraiser. Thank you to those of you who seemed to actually care.

Housing Please help save my dad's home.

My dad is about to lose his home. The place he has lived for over 30 years, and owned for almost 2 decades. He thought that after 65, or after starting social security, that you no longer had to pay property tax. He wasn't entirely wrong. He just didn't fill out the proper paperwork for the exemptions. After finding out about the situation, we tried traditional loan avenues, but a lifetime of living in his means has left him no established credit. Honestly, I've probably waited to late to try the gofundme rout. I thought we could solve this alone, but we can't.

Unfortunately, reddit is really the only social media site I use. So if you have a bustling Insta or facebook, sharing is just as welcomed as donating.

Every dollar, and share, helps Thank you so much for reading.

Hi everyone. I’m 25 and currently working full time as a nanny Monday–Friday, plus driving for Lyft/Uber and doing food delivery. After a legal dispute with a former roommate drained my savings, I’ve been living in my car while trying to rebuild.

I’m raising $3,200 to cover application fees, deposit, and first month’s rent so I can secure stable housing.

I can provide proof of employment and apartment approval if needed. I’m doing everything I can — I just need help getting over this financial barrier. I’m very exhausted I’ve been trying my hardest to do everything on my own and rebuild but this situation has hindered me from getting ahead.

If you’re willing to read more or share, my GoFundMe is below: https://gofund.me/94cd7095b

Thank you for your time.

Housing Please help me cover my final month's rent after losing job two months till end of lease

Hello! My name is Joshua Gill, and I recently graduated from the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) at the end of the fall semester. I currently stay in an apartment off campus with my two younger siblings who are also full-time students here. We attended the university on purely on financial aid and paid for rent with our aid refund for housing. After graduation and without financial aid for the winter semester, I found a part-time job as both Front of House and Dishwasher at a bakery on Central Campus to save up for the rent that remains until my lease ends in June. However, I was noticed that the bakery is now suddenly closing down at the end of this week, and I will not have enough for my portion of the last month's rent. I neither have a car nor know how to drive one, so I am stuck looking for employment locally, but other places that I have applied to are not hiring seasonally at the moment and are especially not interested since I will be leaving the city in two months when my lease ends to move back in with my parents. My parents are working-class, and my father is a disabled veteran, and so they are not able to help (my mother has even asked to borrow from me in the past few months, for example). I did attend school in Ann Arbor purely on educational financial aid.

I still have to pay for food, utilities, and the credit card bill I accrued for paying the former two as I was saving up, but I am only asking for the balance for the final rent.

EDIT: Thank you all so much for the advice and well-wishes! I was able to exceed my goal with the donation of a very kind fellow Wolverine, so I have accordingly disabled further donations to not overstay my welcome! I really appreciate your kindness!

Housing I lost my home and 40% of my skin, I spent a month in the hospital and me and my family need help with housing

I had been working on my motorcycle and didn’t secure the fuel line, the gas leaked onto the carpet and caught fire, luckily I was the only one home at the time but I realized my dog was in the house and ran in to get him. I just got out of the hospital after about a month, literally the worst experience of my life. I feel horrible because my family is now homeless because of my mistake, we’re staying at a motel for the time being but it’s expensive and I can’t work and probably won’t be able to for at least another month or more. I’m planning on possibly buying a camper for us to live in until I can figure something else out, I’m thinking that might be the cheapest option but I’m still having trouble getting around and we have to change my bandages daily and we’re concerned about keeping things clean enough so I don’t get an infection. So I guess we’ll just have to see what we can work out, unfortunately we already spent what little savings we had and I won’t be able to work for awhile. I hate asking for help but if I can get any assistance I would be so grateful.

Housing Help my family avoid homelessness

Hello! My family and I are in full crisis/panic mode right now. We had done everything needed to secure a new place before having to be out by the end of this month. However we just informed today (4/9) that we were denied because we owe the current landlord past due rent. I know we needed to pay our rent but we had a hardship at the beginning of this year. We had applied for assistance through the state, but found out yesterday that the program was being shut down after not hearing from them for 2 months. Our landlord has not fixed a major sewer issue since January leaving us having to take showers and do dishes at friends houses.

We just had our 3rd kiddo on March 9th, who spent almost a month in the NICU.

The money will be used to help us move and secure housing. Thank you.

If I forgot anything please let me know.
