We're in serious trouble

[Kelri Irris]

My SO and I are in deep trouble. We've got to come up with the rent by the first or, until we resolve it, they want 100 bucks a day starting on the second and will not accept more rent (for the following month) as it builds daily until it is all paid. We learned this firsthand last month when we had the money for the rent on the 4th, they made it clear that when we pay the next month, they want that 300 dollars first, then the rent, or the charges start again. 

 

This wouldn't be an issue at all, but this has been the year from hell. It started out with SO (the only one of us that can work - I have an untreated chronic pain issue and PTSD Anxiety from 20 years of abuse) having pain that kept him from working. For a month or so, his mom helped while he couldn't collect paychecks, to help us keep our rent paid. So, of course, a few months later, she passed away. About a month before Mother's Day. 

 

Then, a few months ago, the car broke down and will cost around a grand to fix, and we can't pay for that either, so he's trying buses to avoid Uber when his hours allow. And then, his teeth became infected and his infection and subsequent extraction of THREE of his teeth killed any chance for him to work for another week. 

 

We have 200 bucks. Even with him going to work all week this week, the last remaining paycheck before our rent will not cover it. Do we have food? No. Do we feel guilty everytime we break down and run up to Walgreens to get a muffin or box of popcorn for when we are hungry, because shopping would take more money than that? Yes. 

 

Please help in any way you can - either share this link or drop a couple of bucks in so that maybe, we can at least figure out how to get our things out if we can't stay. Thank you.

To address a question that has come up: No, his mother didn't have anything to leave when she passed because she had cleared out her 401k and gone into a lot of debt, and whenever one of her kids needed help, she would go into debt to help them so we were informed there is nothing left to inherit once her things are liquidated.
