Deposits Tags

My husband and I had a nice place that we were buying and then we both got laid off well he was working alittle and it was pay insurance or the electric bill. We paid the electric bill and was starting to get on our feet when our home burned to the ground, we did not recieve much help but we found another place to live and stayed there for nearly 7 yrs. The roof started leaking very bad and the land lord just laid tin down on the wet rotting roof well black mold started growing and I spent the next yr back and forth to the Dr trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Lost wieght, exremly tired slept all the time, no energy. well one dr finally figured it out BLack Mold. we moved in with our son and his family and about 4 months ago we moved into a new place. while I was cleaning the bathroom I found black mold all over the walls. We have found another home but we do not have the money for all the deposits on electric gas house deposit. We need ya'lls help so very mch. I will gladly send you a copy of the reciept for which ever one is turned on. I will also send you a reciept so you can take it off of your taxes if possible. My husband works sunup to after dark 6 days a week we only have one vehicle and he works 40 miles one way from home and moving into this new house will help cut down his driving time because it is closer to his work. Thank you all for atleast reading this and hopefully you will find it in your heart to help us

I'll try to keep this short and sweet.
I'm 20 years old, working as an operator at a machine shop just a few miles from my current apartment.
About a month ago, the president of our company announced that they were going to be moving the shop in a few months. He did not, however, mention that this would cause a lot of us to lose hours due to a lack of received work orders for our CURRENT location.
I already had a couple of outstanding loans from before things went south at work. Just a couple of hundred dollars for electricity or rent that I figured I could pay back quickly taking the shops pay rate into account. However, now that I've been going without more than 10 hours of work a week for almost three weeks paying my loans back is becoming more of a game of trying to scrape together my minimum payment amount while also somehow managing rent, bills, and food money. I've gotten to the point where I'm eating about a meal a day and spending as little time in my apartment as possible to cut back on water and electricity expenses.
The real kicker of this whole situation is that my lease will be expiring 3/19/2012, and I need to manage to get a new apartment before then. With the two outstanding loans, moving expenses, leasing deposits and application fees...well, it's starting to look like I might be living under a bridge next month...
Most people my age would turn to there parents for help, but I don't really have any such luck. Both of my parents just kind of jumped ship as soon as I graduated High School. Last I heard from mom she was using meth, and Dad isn't faring much better...
Please, help me avoid homelessness and give what you can so I can manage a standard, stable adult life.

Hello my name is Richard. A little about me. I am 37 yo/male living in WI USA and in need of help to pay for my rent. I moved to WI from TX in hopes of starting a better life for myself. I thought the person I that had offered me a place to stay until spring was going to be true to their word. Unfortunately that was not the case. The job I had at the time was one just a temp job to help enable me to contribute while I was staying with them and allow me to look for one within my profession. I was abruptly told that I had 3 weeks to leave their house before I would be removed. This was someone that I had known for well over 11 years and never thought something like that would happen. These were the only people I knew in the sate. At the time I had been working the temp job for a little over 2 months and at the rate I was making with the company there was little to know way I would be able to pay for deposits much less rent of a small apartment in the area. But with that I set out to make it happen somehow. So I continued the temp job and took other additional small jobs, fix it type things for extra cash. I was able to make the deadline and move into my own place which was actually best for me anyways.

I continued to work at the temp job but in doing so ended up getting continual and worsening respiratory infections due to the very poor air quality. I never intended to stay there for this long but with little time to devote to my job search within my profession I had no other choice. Months went by and the condition simply got worse. I was told by my doctor that I needed to find some other line of work and get out of the horrible work environment that I was working in as I was getting very close to pneumonia. Two weeks later it happened. I was out of work for the following 2 weeks. During that time I was forced to make the decision to leave the job and quit. This was very tough for me as I am not a quitting type what so ever. I had been raised to stick it out. But due to a medical condition that I have I simply cannot do that, for risk of compounding the issue.

So now here I am. I am a month late with my rent and facing eviction. I have no family or friends to lean on for help. I am currently enrolling to further my education to be a professional driver which will assure my future but for now I still need my apartment. My rent is $660 per month. I need to be able to cover February and March rent or I will end up being evicted which at that point will have no place to go but find a place (during winter) out on the street. So I plead with you to please find a place in your heart and help me with my problem. Doing this is so tough for me. I have never had assistance like this in my life. I have always been the one to do it on my own. This time however I simply cannot do it without help from you.

Please.

God Bless.

Hello, I'm 24 years old. Last summer I opened up a consignment shop in my town. I put pretty much all my money and savings into opening up my store, money I worked hard to raise for it, and lots and lots of time and hard work. Well after 5 1/2 months of being open, my landlord sold the building out from under me and I had to close! All of my hard work and money was gone. I now have a hard time paying bills and owe a few people money yet. I am hoping to reopen my store in a new location this spring, but obviously I do not have the funds to reopen at this time. I want to do things right this time and I would like to purchase a point of sale system to keep track of all my sales and consignors. I would probably have about $6000-7000 in start up costs to reopen to pay for deposits, rent, insurance, supplies, computer system, security system, more shelving, possibly credit card equipment and services, hopefully some more inventory of my own, and any other unexpected costs that may arise, and I need enough money to sustain myself incase I don't make enough money to pay my rent, utilities, & other bills at first. This has been a dream of mine for a long time.. and I finally was able to make it happen last summer but had it taken away from me by my landlord and new owner of the building I was renting. Anything would help! thanks!

I cant believe i am resorting to this,but in the hope their are like minded people who put others first here is my plea for help.
Over the years my work has gradually taken its toll on my body and i am now left with limited capability,however myself and my partner still try to put others first.Our older relatives and friends need our help with running errands,shopping,hospital runs etc,but to do this we need to move back to my partners home county of yorkshire.
Unfortunately the cost of moving and the high deposits required on rented accomadation make it impossible.If you could find it in your hearts to help we would be extremely gratefull.Thankyou.
Whatever is affordable would help,as my gran used to say "every little helps"

Hello everyone. I am doing this for my older brother who is basically homeless and has been for seven months now. He was taking care of our mother while she battled cancer and had to be home full time because we could not afford the private care.

Our mom passed away April of this year. She left him the house so he would have something that belonged to him but she also left behind some expensive bills. He has been unable to find work of any kind. The lights and water were eventually turned off in the beginning of June and he has had neither since then.

He has no way to bathe, clean, store food or anything. The electric bill with interest is several hundred dollars and I know the water bill is up to $504 AND they have a lean on the home until it is paid which means it increases by $25 every month. I was going to put the utilities in my name but apparently a "renter" has to pay high deposits if the owner owes money at that address and those deposits are just as expensive. All of this doesn't include the $680 in back taxes on the property. If I can just get his bills paid off I can maintain the monthly costs for him.

Yes he does have a home but essentially it is nothing more than a tent. He lives off of $160 in foodstamps a month and rides the free bus everywhere. In April he weighed 248lbs. He now weighs 152lbs due to having to eat cold canned foods. I don't know what else to do. I have tried everything I can think of. My husband is the only one working so we are unable to do much for him ourselves not to mention I live a few states away. We have no other family ... it's just the 2 of us. He deserves a little help in return for the sacrifices he has made. He had to put his life on hold to watch our mother die.

Seriously... every penny helps. We will not turn our nose up at any donations whether it be a $1 or a penny. I do not know what kind of proof that I can offer other than copies of the bills and shut off notices .. and an obituary.

ANYONE who can help I will be forever indebted to you and I swear on my life itself that anything that is left over will be given back to others on this site that truly need it.

If you have any questions you can contact me at alba_2oo6@yahoo.com

UPDATE: Lights have been taken care of ... thank you. Water and taxes are still hanging over his head. Today the city informed him he had 7 days to have both lights and water or the house will be condemned.

Our lease is coming up in april, and neither of us feel like we want to spend a penny more on this tattered apartment, yet we suspicion the rent company is going to try to raise the rent despite the increasing wear on the place. We would really love to rent a place but we need to have security deposits on hand. That will usually come to about $1000 deposit and $300 for our 2 dogs. we're looking for a place about $450-600 per month and 1-2 bedrooms. We would appreciate any help you can give. Things are not getting better for us

Family of 8 in need, we need everything. We live in Oklahoma and would be willing to drive to pick up things we have lost. Please help out we have five kids, 4 boys 18, 13, 12, 9 and one girl 10. My husband works and I am on disability, my sister in law lives with us, because my brother is in a nursing home. We just found a home that we will hopefully be able to move in to in a few days. The deposits and rent will take up all of our money and we will not have anything left over. We need beds, dressers table and chairs, linens, and much more. If you have a tree or any toys or games that I can stick under it for the younger two it would be great. The older boys understand, but the younger two would not understand why Santa did not come. Thank you in advance.

We are a family of 9 that consists of my disabled father and his wife, my disabled sister, my other sister, my husband, and our three children. We just moved to Arizona and because of all the high deposits they want out here for utilities and rent deposits we have no money for our children for christmas, at this point we don't even have a christmas tree. Any help would be very much appreciated. Please help us put a smile on thier faces christmas morning. Thank You, and God Bless

Desperate for help! I'm just trying to make ends meet...my husband and I both lost our jobs in 2010, causing a tidal wave of destruction financially. To cut cost, we moved back to my home town. I have recently been offered a job in another town, which would be a wonderful step to get up back on the road to recovery, but unfortunately, the company does not pay relocation. We need desperately for me to get this job, but if we are not able to move...we are so close but so far and it is so frustrating because all we want to do is be able to work. We are needing approximately $2500-$3000, to help pay for a self move, and assistance with deposits/rent. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you and Blessings!

I am getting married in November and was working, injured my back and am now waiting for disability to kick in. I already signed contracts and made non refundable deposits that I can't afford to lose. My mom was going to help out but now she is going in for emergency surgery next week. Please help me make my dream wedding come true and help me help with my mom's medical expenses. Thank you in advance.

I am a 49 year old struggling grandmother of 3 sweet, beautiful boys, ages 5, 7 and 8. I am desperately trying to save and protect my grandsons and ensure their futures. I would not ask help if it were only for me. I am asking for help for them, so that my 3 innocent little grandsons will be safe, secure and have a chance in life. As things stand right now, we will be homeless within the next 2 weeks.
My greatest fear is that when (not if) I do become homeless, which isn’t that far off, the state will take my grandsons because we have no place to live, split them up and put them in foster homes. That thought scares the hell out of me. I am all those sweet little boys have. And if they lose each other too, after losing everyone and everything else that they known and loved, I fear their lives will be ruined at the tender ages of 5, 7 and 8.
I suffer from COPD and fibromyalgia and each day I struggle with physical pain. We live near the New Orleans Metro Area in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. We were displaced for a year after Hurricane Katrina, came back, bought a mobile home in Lafitte, Louisiana and tried to rebuild our lives. In 2008, when Hurricanes Gustav and Ike hit us back to back, our home was flooded with more than 4 feet of water; unreachable, except by boat for over 2 weeks.
At that time, my mother, age 75, had been experiencing the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s as well as a series of strokes which affected the memory and impulse control centers of her brain due to a vascular disease which severely decreased the flow of blood to those areas of her brain. During these TIA’s and small strokes/seizures, she behaved erratically and during larger ones she could become paranoid and psychotic. She had to be hospitalized for several of the more severe episodes, as she was becoming a danger to herself and others. The effects of these “episodes” lingered for days, sometimes weeks. Afterwards, she had no memory of anything that happened during that time period.
After the storms, we moved in with my mother to help her and because we did, FEMA stopped helping us. And since we could not afford to rebuild again without FEMA’s help, we lost our home. The recent BP oil spill was just another deep blow to our already struggling local economy.
She required 24/7/365 assistance and supervision, which she could not afford. She was eventually diagnosed with vascular disease of the brain and Alzheimer’s. Due to the region of her brain that was affected her disease went unnoticed for several years, until she had a large enough stroke to prompt her to seek medical attention. This diagnosis explained her erratic behavior of the past several years, I have since been homebound, unable to leave mom untended for any length of time and unable to work outside the home due to my mother’s need for the past 3 years.
My mother passed away this past April at the age of 79. She had suffered from Alzheimer's and vascular dementia, suffering several major and minor strokes and seizures over the past 6+ years. On April 9th she suffered a massive stroke, lingering for 9 days before passing on the 18th. God rest her soul, I miss her. I loved my mom very much and did everything I could to help her.
To add to the difficulties already faced by our loss, my youngest daughter, who had been living in Ohio with what turned out to be a conman/ junkie twice her age that saw a vulnerable young woman with 3 children and took advantage of that fact, had been physically, verbally and emotionally abusive to all of them for the past 1 ½ years. 2 weeks before Mom passed, she got in major legal trouble in Ohio and sent my 3 young grandsons to me to raise.
Now, things have turned for the worst... On August 17th we discovered that my eldest daughter took my mother to an attorney and had her write a will leaving everything my mother had to her and excluding me! This abominable act was done 1 month after Hurricane Katrina when ALL of us were distraught and displaced from the storm! My mom was not in her right mind at that time, even though a full diagnosis had not yet been made on her true condition.... Also, in Louisiana, the bar for mental competency is set so low that so long as you are not actively drooling and babbling in front of the judge/attorney/witnesses you are considered competent!! It doesn’t matter if you won’t remember doing it five minutes later either.
Now, my greedy, self-serving, ungrateful eldest child has decided that she will evict us so she can try to sell my mother's home, in which I and my grandsons, her nephews still live, so she can pay off mom's debt, which she exaggerates, and her student loans. She is fully aware of our circumstances… she just doesn’t care. The only transportation I have for my grandsons is the truck my mom gave me before her death, but did not have the money to transfer title on. It is now part of mom’s estate and she wants that too.
I called the Clerk in division where probate/ succession on my mom were filed... Clerk said that I need an attorney to file contest to the will… herein lies the problem... there is not 1 single legal aid agency in the ENTIRE New Orleans Metro area that can handle a contested will!! There are also no private attorneys that will handle it either, unless there's big money in it for them, which in this case there is not.
Clerk also said she has no idea why I was never notified… Judge signed off regardless. There seems to be no justice for the poor in this country... since we can't afford to pay the exorbitant fees of a private attorney, which seems to be a necessity to get anything done in the courts.
I received a 10 day "Notice to Vacate" posted on the door August 24, 2011. My daughter wants immediate possession of the property she manipulated/unduly influenced my mentally ill mother into willing to her barely 1 month after Hurricane Katrina. I don't know where we will go. I will have enough money on September 3rd to pay either 1 month's rent or the deposit, but can't raise both in time I have left. I also have the added expenses of my regular utility bills and new expenses for the transfer of utility services and/or deposits, and transportation. So I need to raise about $2000.00 within the coming 2 week period.
I have tried appealing to my daughter’s sense of decency, but she doesn’t seem to have one. Her actions are despicable and deplorable. I am ashamed to be her mother. It breaks my heart and sickens me to know that I brought such a hateful, selfish, greedy, heartless person into this world. I did not raise her to be that way.
I've called every single legal aid agency in my area; including the Bar Assoc. Lawyer referral service... no one will help because there just isn't any money in it for them... sad state this country is in when the poor cannot get justice anywhere.
I've also called churches and other charitable organizations for help... there are so many families in need in the New Orleans metro area that any help is minimal. ALL homeless shelters are full up with waiting lists so long they are no longer taking applications for assistance.
I have applied for Section 8 housing, but there is a HUGE waiting list. The HUD Section 8 waiting list in Louisiana is backlogged 5+ years and has more than 20,000 applicants still waiting for vouchers, many of whom are currently homeless. They are not accepting any new applicants.
I have contacted EVERY charitable and public/community service agency that I can think of for help... none has been forthcoming as of yet..... Is there ANYONE out there with a heart who can and will help us? I have nowhere else to turn.
I’ve spent days seeking legal help... bottom line... none available... so since if my defense is denied and I can't fight the eviction then we are out on the streets with nowhere to go.
My nerves are shot; the house hunt is not going well.
I am hurt by my daughter’s actions and so sickened over all of this mess that I can barely think straight. I cry myself to sleep every night and awake with tears in my eyes and a rock in the pit of my stomach. Yet I dry them and try to be strong and act as if everything is normal for my grandsons who need me now more than ever. I still haven’t had time to grieve my mother’s death.
We are now faced with trying to find alternate housing that we can afford on the $840.00 a month income that I receive in Kinship Care for my grandsons. Fat chance in this over-priced rental market. Even a 1 bedroom apartment in “Crack Alley” goes for more than my income in this post-Katrina/Gustav/Ike market.
And it's starting to look like me and my grandsons will be homeless very soon... by the end of the 1st week in September.
Their mother is in prison and their deadbeat, psycho father hasn't been seen in almost 2 years, ever since he beat the hell out of his girlfriend, killed their little dog in front of my boys, stole and trashed her car and ended up in a mental hospital wanting to kill himself... my babies have had enough grief and loss in their lives... they need love, help and compassion.... and a decent place to live... soon!
We’re trying to stay in this area because my boyfriend of 11 years, and my only help, has an elderly, widowed mother who needs his help too. And we are all she has. She cannot take us in because her trailer is very small and there is no room for 5 more people in it.
Work is also scarce and hard to find in the New Orleans metro area due to the huge influx of big out of state companies with their out of state workers getting all of the bigger jobs and contracts and the even larger influx of foreign laborers so severely underbidding the smaller construction jobs, cutting local workers and sub-contractors, like my boyfriend, right out of the job market. Every day he goes out hunting for work taking any job offered.
I have prayed on this so hard and so often since this mess all began. I have put my burden in Jesus' Hands. For He is the only one that can save us. I can only hope that he sends us an Angel to deliver us soon, for without help from someone, somewhere here on earth we are lost. I feel so lost and utterly alone... this truly is my darkest hour.
If there is ANYONE out there who can offer assistance, legal, residential, financial, whatever help you can give... please contact me ASAP. I have exhausted all available resources.
I need at least 2 bedrooms in a safe neighborhood... my total income is $840.00 per month... Right now, I can barely afford toilet paper to wipe our butts with.
We are thankful and grateful for the help we have received from our local churches and the 2nd Harvest Food Bank, as well as some assistance on our utility bill from our local community action organization. That meager help has helped us survive thus far, but our resources are nearly spent. Please have mercy on us and donate whatever you can to help me save my family… every little bit helps.
Thank you for listening to my problems and for your consideration of my plight.
May God Bless you tenfold for any help you send us.
Proverbs 3: 3-7
Let not mercy and truth forsakes you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart,
And so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

I didn't work for a couple of weeks, then got a job at a much lower amount. Lost my apartment. I moved in with my younger daughter and her husband. Mean while my oldest daughter was living with my sister(she is an adult but can't live on her own). Shortly after I moved in with the younger daughter we lost my sister to cancer, and the oldest daughter moved in too.

I got a second job. I had enough for the first months rent, but needed another week to save for deposit on the apartment and electric.

My youngest daughter and her husband broke up, and we were forced to move into a hotel.

I am paying $850 a month to live here, and this week I don't even know how I can pay that as my car insurance and car payment came due in the same week. Without my car I would not be able to work my two jobs. Also I have paid about 2/3's of it off.

We desperately need help getting the first months rent and deposits for any place. Just hoping to get a small one bedroom place that I can afford. Trying to raise $900. That would be enough for the first months rent, security deposit and deposit for electric.

Because of the high cost of the hotel we are having trouble paying this too.

I have never been more desperate in my life.

Thank you for reading.

I am a middle-age gay man. I lived for nearly 16 years in San Francisco. I moved there from East Tenn. in 1994.
I had to leave SF in 2009 because my various illnesses (diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, and bipolar disorder) made it impossible for me to continue to work. I lost 4 out of the last 5 jobs I held.
I couldn't cont. to pay my rent in SF and was facing homelessness. I ended up back in East Tenn.
I can't begin to tell you how awful it is to be gay and living in the buckle of the "Bible Belt". It's like a blast furnace of hate is beating down on me at all times.
SF is a wonderful place. I'd rather be homeless in SF than to be housed in East Tenn.
If you know anything about San Francisco you know it's one of the most expensive cities on the planet.
I have a small income from Social Security--enough to rent a small place. But I need help getting there.
I am looking for $10,000--enough to move, enough for first and last month's rent, utility deposits, and enough to furnish a small place in the Tenderloin.
By the way, I do not use drugs (never have), don't drink (never have), don't smoke (never have), and have never had legal problems. I have a Master's Degree in Social Work. I worked in medical centers and nursing homes for 20+ years.

I am currently on ssi and need to get an apartment. I can not afford to pay the deposits needed and would greatly appreciate any help

My wedding is coming up in 2 months and I was just laid off from my position a couple of weeks ago. I'm getting a whole $91 dollars for Unemployment, which I'm trying to stretch just to pay for food and gas to job search.

It seems like there is nothing out there right now and I have no idea how I'm going to be able to pay for the other half of the deposits that I committed to when I was still working. I'm selling everything that I can to try and make things work, but my family has invested everything they could into the wedding already and I don't want them to be out the money because I couldn't cover my portion. I'm the only child and the only one in our close relatives who will actually be having a wedding, and the same goes for my wonderful (though also struggling) fiancee... so it's a big thing for our families.

Other than a back injury that prevents me from doing certain kinds of general physical labor, I promise that I am applying and trying for anything I can get. I would really appreciate any little bit of help that comes along. If you've been in a stressful situation like this where everyone is counting on you to make something work, and if you don't you'll be letting so many people down, then give me a hand and I'll pass it along to someone else when I'm in a situation where I can. (Hopefully when I'm done with school and can qualify for an actual career instead of a potentially unstable job!)

Thank you!!! ^_^

I need any help you can offer. The water in house I'm living in has no water--needs a new well & I don't have the $4-$6000 to have a new well drilled. Currently bringing water in gallon containers just to get by. I could use the money to get a well drilled but have a heart condition & I just can't keep up with all the repairs, yardwork, etc & would really like to move to an apartment so I can relieve that 'what else is going to happen' that nags at me all the time. (plus worrying all the time is not good for mine or anyone else's health!)
Everything I had saved recently went to car repairs & I just don't have the money to move. I live paycheck to paycheck & can't get any money saved for deposits required for moving. Also, with my medical condition I will have to pay someone to move me.
Please help if you can. Anonymous donations can be processed on my paypal acct

I am a disabled mother of a teenage son who has high functioning autism. His child support just ended since he just turned 18. We have applied for his SSI benefits, but that takes time. My husband of 2 1/2 years has never understood the behavior issues of a child with autism. He is verbally and emotionally abusive to both me and my son. We have had enough and want to escape this madness. I have secured a small house to live in that I can afford on my SS disability payment, but we need help with the utility deposits. Please help us escape from the abuse.

Hi there,
I'm in need of $1000 asap... I am moving to Kansas City KS from Columbia MO to start a new job on Tuesday, August 3. Yesterday my car decided that she didn't want to run any more. It turns out that I need a new catalytic converter and a new O2 sensor, which I don't have the money for because all my 'spare' money has gone toward paying deposits and other moving expenses. I would hate to miss my first day of work at a new job in a new city because I don't have transportation. My plan, should someone be kind enough to grant this loan, would be to spend a part of it on renting a car, while my car is being worked on during the week, and come back to Columbia next weekend (8/8-8/9) to pick up my car and drop off the rental car. And of course the rest would go towards repairs. For someone who would be serious about the loan, I can email you a copy of my job offer letter so you can see what my salary will be, as well as my ability to pay off the loan by the end of 2010.

Thanks for any consideration of this request!

Bank of America has manipulated my account in order to purposely collect overdraft fees! Within 1 week I made two deposits totaling $1,058.00. I had transactions totaling $857.oo. Therefore leaving me approx. $200. Today I made another deposit of $376.00. I checked my balance after the deposit and it was -$364.00. I came home went online and checked my account. Before my deposit today my account was -$550.00 and Bank of America had held transactions for days and charged me fees that they had initally informed me would not be charged!! These fees total $455.00. How do they get away with this? This caused the ripple effect and downward spiral of my account. I now have no money, a negative bank balance that the bank refuses to fix, 2 children to feed, a ton of bills, rent and a father dying with cancer 4 hours away that I cant go see. All I'm asking for is the $455 in fees and the $376 that was my husbands check for us to live on. My husband and I are hardworkers and do not rely on goverment assitance nor do we ask others to bail us out but I'm at a loss for what to do. I really would appreciate someones heart and help. I am even willing to pay you back some each week. Thanks for your time.
