Need help with 2 months rent....$3,000 

 

I have never in my life done this before, but I thought I would try. I am married with 2 boys. My husband and I are hard workers. We both have jobs, however, last month my husband lost his job. The company he worked for closed their doors without any pay. He filed for unemployment, but they can't get a hold of his old boss so it was declined. I contacted my landlord and she was gracious enough to wait on the rent until this month. We owe 2 months now. I do home daycare, so I don't have to pay for daycare for my kids. I also applied for food stamps which I have never done...just to help out until we get ahead. Thankfully, my husband got a new job quickly. We found someone to buy his truck for $3000.00. This would have put us ahead, but the buyer called today and said he wasn't able to buy now. My rent check for 2 months got sent back today, and now I am desperate. We are good upstanding people, and we never ask for money. We just need a little to get ahead. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Just had a baby and Im about to lose my apartment. I need help

Aug 16, 2007
   Im not the type of person to have to ask for help but its the last resort I have. I have nothing to lie about, I just had my first baby 2 months ago at the age of 19. I can't ask my parents for help because they have 7 people in there household and they dont have the money to spare they tell me. From the age of 16, I started a restuarant job making 300 dollars every two weeks. Out of an older brother and a older sister, I was the only extra income coming for my parents, forty hrs a week i got to keep 100 dollars that i worked so hard for. I thought if i found a better paying job and moved out with my fiance, that things would be alot easier. Little did i know, i was wrong. I am three months behind on rent and utilities due to my pregnancy. My fiance stays home with our daughter while i work because we cant afford a babysitter. We have tried to get loans, but get turned down due to no credit history. We are trying to make it in this world just like everyone else, just ever now and then you have to ask for help. So I am asking for help now, to get our bills caught up and a way to get out of this apartment and start our life in a real home to raise our daughter. So Please, We really need help!!    Thank you
