Hi everyone, happy new year. I've been avoiding saying anything here on Facebook or anywhere on social media about this but my family and I have been living out of hotel rooms for just over a month now, since November 19th. Things have been rough for us. The kids have had high spirits throughout but I can tell it's taking its toll on them just as it has on me and Tiffany. We are struggling to keep up with paying for the rooms as they are getting expensive, even though we are going to the cheapest we can find in Modesto. It adds up on us and we still have a few bills to pay that have been hard to take care of. Plus, we have to be able to afford food for us all and I'm still waiting on the county to approve or not, our application for foodstamps while we are trying to find housing. We've been in contact with several agencies that could possibly help us but we are struggling. With Tiff's parents living at the local shelter, it's hard for us to make the choice and go to a shelter ourselves. Me and Tiffany are both working but as I mentioned, the expenses are getting too high and my car has also decided to start going out(which is expensive by itself to fix and I don't have the extra funds for that either). We need help! Desperately! I know some might wonder if we were living above what we make? We were affording the apartment we had but they wouldn't let us pay the rent late after Tiffany missed 2 weeks of work at her main job that was out her control at the end of August, beginning of September. So we got evicted from the apartment and have struggled getting a new one. The agencies I mentioned earlier could help but they're stretched thin in this county and it could take time for them to be able to find us a place or if we found one, advocate for us. If anyone can help, please message me or Tiffany. I don't know if we are going to be able to afford to push our current hotel past this weekend π because I messed up and thought the points I had on my Choice Rewards app was going to be enough to cover another week until Tiffany's next paycheck next week on Friday. We need at least a minimum of $800 to get our room secured until Tiffany gets paid again. My last check wasn't high enough with some of my work days cut short for the holidays and days off. I wouldn't be asking if we weren't desperate and I wasn't such an idiot for thinking I knew what I was doing. I had never used this particular app before.
Please help me help my babies keep this roof over their heads!! Abigail goes back to school next week too from winter break and I am scared for her. She's been strong throughout but I can see it that she's not liking this at all. None of us are. Jeremiah doesn't really understand what's going on. Please, we need a miracle ππ½ π’ We're currently staying at the Park Inn here in Modesto, it used to be known as the Motel 6. Please ππ½ Lord, help us!! Someone help me!! π’π’
