In need of help |

This all started back in December of 2017. I took my then 2 year old to his well child visit to find that he had dangerously high levels of lead. Then I took my then 6 year old daughter to see if she did as well. Her levels were above a safe level but not as high as my son's. My other 4 children were old enough they weren't considered a concern.
Environmental health came in and found that the house we were renting was so full of lead in such high levels that it would never be safe for a child to live there. My landlord refused to do anything or give us the option of another house. Environmental health kept saying they would help us get a place but they never did.
It came down to being told my options were to move out, send my kids to live with family, or CPS would be involved and would place them for me. So we left in February of 2018 after the environmental investigation results had came back.
We have been staying in a motel paying over $1000 a month which is basically all I make. The transmission had went out of our car before we left the house and I couldn't afford to fix the car and get in the motel. I work 40 or more hours a week trying to get ahead and get us out of here but it's just not happening. This town does not have a homeless shelter and all of the income based apartments have 2 year or longer waiting lists. I can't afford 1500 or more people want to move in for the first months rent and deposit.
This is literally my last option. I absolutely hate having to ask for anything, but I don't have family here, they're 5 1/2 hours away and couldn't help anyway. Anything would be greatly appreciated, I just want my kids back to having a somewhat "normal" life. A motel is not the best place for them to grow up.

Struggling Teacher in Dire Need |

Hi, I am a young teacher in NYC who is in dire need. I currently sleeping on my mother's couch as it is too expensive to afford rent on my salary at this time. I was saving for a down payment for an apartment but was robbed a few months ago and had to use my small savings to replace my valuables and ended up in debt. I have been working 2 jobs since then but it has been difficult to save money since I assist my mother with bills, pay my own utilities, and am paying off debt.
I have always wanted to purchase a home in my community because it is important for me to give back to those in marginalized communities. I currently teach in the same neighborhood I am from and currently live in (South Bronx) and I want to be able to establish roots here. I could have chosen to teach in a more affluent school district but I want to provide opportunities for disadvantaged youth like my teachers did for me. Unfortunately, this means that I have to struggle financially. In addition, gentrification in the South Bronx has caused rents to sky rocket, making it difficult for local residents to keep their homes and I am worried that my family and I will eventually be pushed out of my childhood home. My parents are immigrants who have worked hard for 30 years and owning property has always been a far fetched dream for us. I need assistance in raising money for a down payment so that we can have a secure home to live in without worrying about where we will live next. Any bit helps (PayPal Link below). Thank you for your contribution. God bless you.

hi. My name is Daniel W.
I'm desperately trying to get back home. I came to Texas to restart my life after I found out my gf of 10 years was cheating on me 5 months with 2 different guys while I was at work and she was home. I found work here and got the job but when I got here the job I had was given away and I wasn't informed. Then 3 days ago while Walking to get my bus ticket home I was jumped. The 2 guys pulled a knife on me and slit my hand open to the bone. They ripped my backpack full of my things off my back and grabbed my wallet with the money i had for a ticket home ($400) and threw my wallet back down but kept the bag then ran away. I had $2 in change so I got some super glue and cleaned it with soap and super glued it back together cause I can't afford the E.R to get stitches. I am now homeless sleeping in the woods and dont know anyone here. I can't ask my father for help cause he killed himself 2 years ago and my mother has never been around. Not even sure where she is. I have no family. I haven't ate in 3 days and am sleeping in the woods. I am begging for any help please. I can return favors or pay back anything that is donated once i get back home to Colorado and work a couple weeks. I'll even donate to other charities if that's something you would like. I have a guaranteed job lined up there 2 different choices 1 i had worked for previously teaching snowboarding to families. I just desperately need help getting a ticket back. Please. I have a PayPal it is

Family fighting homelessness |

This is my family:
https://www.gofundme.com/61cu7ns
The O’Connor family has been battling with homelessness since 2012 when they used their savings as a down-payment on a house they would share with Dad’s aging parents. At the time both Mom and Dad were enrolled in college and had little income from a delivery job they shared. Because of this Dad let his parents put the house in their name rather than his. Big mistake. Less than two months later Dad’s parents decided they were going to move his younger sister, husband and infant in and kicked out the O’Connor family. Due to the home not being in their name there was no recourse for them. Since then they have been transient moving from temporary living situation to temporary living situation.
Because of this both Mom and Dad had to withdraw from college and seek bit employment where they could, however being homeless coupled with their disabilities makes it very difficult to find gainful employment.
Currently, they are waiting for the LGBT Life Center in Norfolk, VA rapid rehousing program to kick in and help them get settled back into a home. However they need help getting through the next few weeks.
All of their resources have been completely exhausted. Prior to TAP in Virginia Beach, VA and the UU of Williamsburg VA getting them a hotel room the family was living out of a tent.
The are unable to fix their transportation as well. For the past six months the car has had no air conditioning or power steering. While driving with no AC is uncomfortable especially in 80-90 degree weather it is manageable, however driving with no power steering has caused Dad to injury his shoulder. More recently, last week, they got a flat on their car and the company they bought the tires from is refusing to honor their warranty.
The O’Connors just need help getting over these last few hurdles as they continue to fight against their homelessness.
All donations will go to housing first and foremost, then food and gas as needed as well as repairs on their vehicle if possible.
Once settled, the family plans to pay-it-forward by working with local non-profits to help others in their current situation.
The current goal is estimated for room rent and gas. Estimated repairs on the car are $1000-$1500
