The story

For the past six years, the place I call home has been my source of stability and comfort. Unfortunately, due to a series of unexpected circumstances, I’ve found myself in a financial situation I never imagined I would be in. I’ve fallen three months behind on rent after both of my roommates unexpectedly moved out due to personal circumstances. Their departures left me responsible for a much larger financial burden than I could manage on my own. I’ve been actively trying to find replacement roommates, but it has been much more difficult and time-consuming than I anticipated. I do have a job and continue to work, but my income alone simply isn’t enough to cover the full rent and catch up on what I’ve fallen behind on. On top of everything, I’ve also been dealing with health issues. Unfortunately, I’m unable to take the time off I need to focus on recovering because I can’t afford to stop working while trying to keep a roof over my head. I’m asking for $9,400 in assistance to go directly toward my outstanding rent and help prevent me from losing the home I’ve had for the past six years. Having this support would give me the opportunity to get back on my feet, regain some financial stability, and continue working toward finding a long-term roommate solution. I’ve never been in a position like this before, and asking strangers for financial help isn’t something I ever thought I would have to do. I understand that everyone has their own responsibilities and challenges, so I don’t take anyone’s generosity for granted. Whether you are able to contribute or simply take the time to read my story, I’m genuinely grateful. If someone is in a position to help cover this expense, it would mean more to me than I could ever adequately express. It would give me the chance to keep my home and get through an incredibly difficult chapter of my life. Thank you for taking the time to hear my story and for any kindness you may be able to offer.

  • Paying a full rent alone after two people leave is a burden nobody plans for. Praying the arrears clear and that your body gets the recovery time it has been asking for.

    • Six years of stability is worth holding onto, and covering a whole rent alone after roommates leave is heavy. Praying the gap closes and that your health finally gets the rest it needs.

      • Nobody pictures being here after six years of paying your own way. Praying the rent gets caught up and that you finally get time to recover.

          A home of six years is more than four walls, it is steady ground. Hoping the arrears get settled and that you finally get to rest without guilt.

          • Taking on a whole rent when two people move out at once is a shock to any budget, and you kept working through it. Praying a new roommate and some breathing room arrive soon.
