My name is Carol,
After approximately 15 years of living in my manufactured home on a privately rented lot, I was forced to relocate when the owner decided to end my tenancy and sell the property. I had the right of first refusal. I spent months trying to find financing and even located an investor willing to purchase the property and lease it back to me.
Despite everything I tried, my right was never honored. And even though I have a case. Attonery fees are astounding.
I have now found another home to rent, and my roommate and I will split everything. We signed the lease and gave the security deposit. But the move has drained nearly everything I had. Now the roommate has backed out. After signing the lease. Leaving me with the remaining move- in . As of Sunday Aug 16th church is helping me pay Aug. Rent so now what I owe is 450.
I am living on a very limited retirement and Social Security income. At my old home, I was also able to rent a room for extra income. I have now lost that income and have become a renter myself.
I still have moving expenses and money owed toward getting settled into the new rental. The property manager has been kind enough to work with me and give me some time..
I have spent these last several days packing, moving belongings, trying to deal with my manufactured home, caring for my animals, cleaning the new place, and trying to find assistance wherever I can. People who promised to help with the move did not always show up, and almost every step has taken longer and cost more than expected.
Now that the church is helping i just need to pay the remainder. So I can start fresh Sept. 1st
I am not asking for anything extravagant. I am asking for enough to bring Aug balance to zero.
Any donations will go toward my remaining balance.
If you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much to me. Sometimes it only takes the right person seeing a story at the right time.
I know there are many people struggling, especially seniors trying to survive on fixed incomes. I never thought I would find myself in this position.
I am simply trying to get through this transition, keep the new home I have found, care for my animals, and rebuild some stability in my llife.
Thank you
Thank you for reading my story, for sharing it, for praying for me, or for helping in any way you can.
Every dollar right now truly matters.
Thank you so much for your time.
With gratitude,
Carol
