Ever since I moved out of my mother's home and to my father's apartment, my credit score has dropped from 708 to a 544. My mother never properly taught me how to manage my finances and my father never had to be responsible for anything in his life. The one thing they did drill into my head was the importance of education even though neither one of them could contribute to my tuition. At the age of 19 I had a job, two credit cards, a checking account, and a student loan in my name. The move away from my mom drove me into a state of depression and i lost my job, stopped attending classes and barely went outside. Because of my lack of employment I was not able to make the minimum payments of any of my student loans or my credit cards. All of my accounts closed and I had no other choice but to turn to Public Assistance.
Soon after my father lost his job and we were kicked out of his apartment due to his non payment of the rent for the 6 months that I stayed with him. I had no other choice but to live in a women's shelter because neither of my parents could house me and I had no friends who I could live with.
The silver lining in my story has been my ability to get a job that helped me get the studio apartment I currently reside in. The reason why I am here is to ask the assistance of anyone who could help me catch up with my rental payments since I got injured at my job in November. My landlord is threatening to evict me within the coming months and I have no where to go.
What I need to avoid going back to the shelter is $5000. Anything is more than appreciated. Thank you for listening to my story.
