My name is Becky..We are a family of four, renting an apartment, we have never had to ask for help or fell behind on our bills untill recently.We dont have the rent paid for august whitch is due on the 1st! My boyfriend of 5 years and father of my kids was working full time and got laid off, he got put on unemployement and was suppose to recieve payments till december, well that isnt working out and they cut him off, now we are struggling to pay next months rent!  We would need around 900.00 to pay rent and excel,If theres anyone that can help us please do!   god bless everyone in our situations!   :-)

You need to think of buying gold and silver bullions with your money.  There are homes that are for sale for less than 1 months rent in Detroit due to forclosure.  Since you are making rock bottom wages anyway, you may as well as go to Detroit and work part time for minimum wage knowing that at least you are now only having to pay for utilities and food.  Sure life will not be hunky dory, but you will have equity.  When the economy turns around, you will be able to sell it for a profit.  (And even if you don't, for a dollar a roof over your head is a bargain.) 

I noticed this was placed in 2007. Did you find help? Do you mind sharing your story as to how you survived? Others may find it helpful and inspiring.

I feel ya on your situation it sounds just like mine, all we need is a little help to get caught up and ill probably never have to ask people for help again. Then i can start helping other people.. I would love to be well enough off that i could help someone else..

I don't have an answer for you but I do have a comment. I am a little upset about the help that there is available. I can't believe that there is nothing out there to help. I am in the same situation. I owe over $4000 in rent because of a mistak that my apartment complex made. It's subsidized housing and they lost a paper of mine that said no one in my house was no longer working so they are charging me rent based on 30% of earned income when there was none. I am wondering how we(the government) can pay for so many things such as trail groomers for snowmobiles, federal cllege aid for students that only stay in college long enough to get the checks and to keep people off the streets in other countries when we can't seem to help those right here in our own country. I might be ok if I could get the child support that is owed to me but I guess we don't need to support our children during the divorce becausde I don't get anything until the divirce papers are signed. So if he never signs the papers, I don't get support. I can tell you this....WHEN I get out of this mess, I am going to do something, if I have to do it alone to get people to understand that we need alot more things than nicely groomed trails for our snowmobilers or frat parties for college students. My email is pogey_girl@yahoo.com if you would like to send me a comment about this. Good luck to you and I hope you don't lose your house.
