I’m writing late because my whole world seems to be spinning out of control. Long story sort of short… My landlord of 8 years all of a sudden decided to sell my home and I had to move out asap because I couldn’t buy it fast enough. We had a ten year verbal lease so because of the verbal part there was nothing I could do legally to stop this process so to avoid eviction I just moved out. I had gone to a storage facility and rented two storage units for my house belongings. I was able to secure a temporary short stay at my grandparents home because it was empty since they passed away and now since I began fixing up their home and staying here my family has decided they want to buy it and I have to move out asap. Having four kids in tow at all times is not easy for me but I am in desperate times and we have to find a place in FIVE DAYS! I have called every single assistance agency and looked at thousands of places for rent. If you don’t make 3X the rent in income you can’t even apply for the properties. I only make half that amount and all the subsidized housing places have extensive wait lists. I’m just beyond desperate and stressed and becoming increasingly depressed because I have to keep my kids in a home and finding this is a big challenge for me to do. I wanted nothing more than to move to South Georgia or north Florida to be closer to my sister but at this point in time I can’t move there because I can’t find a place for us to live from here and like here all places require 3X the rent. The only bonus is I am on the list for housing in Florida but that can take FOUR YEARS I was told. I have started looking at shelters for women and children too even though that would prove to be extremely difficult having two kids with disabilities. But that’s where I am at today. Things just seem to be spiraling out of control. I feel like I have a black cloud and can’t catch a break. Looking for the light at the end of this dark tunnel…..
I’m sorry, I missed a post Monday
