it’s official, I’m getting evicted and will be homeless, so this is another donation post

Today my real estate agent gave me a heads up that I will be receiving a Notice to Leave my unit. I have been given two months warning, which means I need to vacate by the 5th of December.

The reason I’m getting kicked out is because of late rent I haven’t been able to pay. I haven’t been able to pay because I’m in a psych ward right now and can’t work.

Being kicked out means a few things. One is that my bond/security deposit will probably have to be used to pay for the rent I can’t pay. This will put a bad mark on my rental ecord, but I’ve come to peace with that.

The second is that I will need to find a new place to live, and pay the bond/security deposit for that AND for movers.

I’ve done some research and these are my estimated costs

  • Bond: $700-1000 (4 weeks rent, hopefully I can find a place on the cheaper side or with a roommate)
  • Movers: $350-400 (if my friends can help with some of it, I’ll just need the removalists for furniture)

I’m hopefully going to be able to save money from my side-job (editing and proofreading) and from my regular jobs when I’m out of the psych ward (when this will be, I don’t know), but I will not able to to get this much money in just two months. I have no savings, because all my money goes towards survival. I just got rejected for loans twice, so that’s out of the question.

As well as this, I have no family to borrow from because I was kicked out of home for being gay. My friends all still live with their parents, in uni housing, or have no room to take me. And they can’t help financially because they’re all broke students. One friend may be able to house me for a few weeks on her couch, but I’ll have nowhere to put my belongings and furniture.

So if anyone out here has even $1 they could afford to spare, please consider donating it. If all my followers donated even 50 cents, I would have half the money I need to move. http://paypal.me/emilygwen

I know these posts are annoying. But I’m desperate. So I’m sorry, but have no other choice.

I will update how much money I’ve raised every day in my description.

God bless all of you who have helped me before, your kindness and reblogs and support mean the absolute world to me.
