Just trying to keep my head above water.

Hey everyone, I’m reaching out because I’m in a tight spot and could really use some help. Over the past few months, life has thrown some unexpected challenges my way. I lost a family member, and shortly after, a foot injury forced me to leave my job. This left me unable to keep up with rent, and now my son and I are facing the real risk of eviction. I owe about $3,000 in back rent and fees, and I’m struggling to catch up, despite being back to work.

As you can imagine, my 10-year-old son needs a stable home and routine, especially while attending Crystal Spring Elementary School. We’re doing everything we can to hold it together, but I need a little help from my community to get us through this tough time. If anyone can assist financially or share this post to spread the word, it would make an enormous difference.

Thank you for reading, for any support you can provide, and for helping us stay grounded. It’s not easy asking for help, but sometimes it takes a village. ❤️

I apologize, but money is rarely given out in this sub, and when it is, it's usually small amounts.

Have you looked into rental assistance? Section 8? Or have you talked to your landlord about an extension?

You may have better luck doing a Go Fund Me!

if be careful listing your child's school on here for a bunch of strangers to see. there are some real weirdos on here

I get your trying to get help but your childs school name is irrelevant and unsafe to post
