Hi everyone,

My name is Bree, and I never thought I’d be in a place where I’d have to write something like this. I’m 26 years old, and right now, I’m doing my best to stay strong — but I’m falling behind on rent, and I’m scared of losing my place in a city with no family.

The last few months have been a rollercoaster. Between unexpected bills, rising living costs, and trying to keep up basic everyday life, I’ve found myself slipping further behind no matter how hard I try. I’ve been applying to jobs, cutting back on everything possible, and doing what I can to stay afloat — but I’m still short on rent and facing the reality of possibly losing my home.

This isn’t just about a roof over my head. This is about stability, peace, and the small bit of hope I’ve been holding onto. My home is where I’ve been rebuilding myself — emotionally and mentally — after a few tough years. It’s where I’ve learned to find calm in chaos.

I’m asking for help to cover past-due rent and a bit of breathing room to get back on track. Anything, truly anything, helps — even sharing this means the world.

If you’re reading this, thank you for taking the time to care. It’s not easy asking for help, but I believe in kindness and community. Sometimes we just need a little lift to stand again.

With love and gratitude,
Bree

Hello I am a single mom of three children, we have been living in our place a little over 4 years now and the landlord has not truly did alot for this property. He basically been neglecting to the point I ask him to bring in professional help for all the mice and bugs that get in the home and he always says we’ll im not the one that place them in there what am I suppose to do is his response. I have voice notes of him hanging up on me when im trying to express how frustrating it is for my children in me to be in this type of environment with rodents running around my kids are scared to walk around there own home. I am on section 8 they have done a inspection recently and he has failed it and basically has not came back out to get anything started to fix what was failed after claiming he was coming out to fix things.He also says just find some where eles to live if your not happy but the thing is I have been out of work since the kids were out of school for the summer,so I’ve been looking for a job that will work with my availability since im the only one that can get my children when there out of school but the jobs application are denied because they cant work with my hours I can work. So I express that to the landlord if I wanted to move I couldn’t because I don’t have a job for deposit to move because section 8 just pays rent not a security deposit. Me or my family dont deserves this type of treatment especially if he is getting paid rent. I need help he is being unprofessional. Im scared ill be homeless because of him not wanting to come fix anything and I loose my place. I am also having trouble getting my car fix because it keeps overheating, so im definitely asking for help please and thank you.

I’m a single mom of 2 trying to stay afloat. My youngest son has a type of cerebral palsy that affects specifically the legs and I need to be at every doctors appointment and it’s like jobs don’t care anymore. My boys are 10 and 7 they are all I have and I need to take care of them and make sure their life is as easy as possible, but life has been extremely hard lately and I’m behind on bills and rent. I’m not asking for a lot just anything so I can finish paying off this month’s rent I’m $400 behind on rent, and I’ll be using the rest for bills that are past due. Please if you find it in your heart please help me keep a roof over my babies heads for this month.
