Hello. My name is Mandi. Like a lot of low income families in portland, I am a single mother to a beautiful boy named Chevy James or CJ. We are struggling now to make endsmeet. I need some help. Not a large some of money but something to help us get rent this month and a payment to the phone company so it doesnt get shut off. I made most of it up on my own for rent. I am in need desperately for 100.00 towards rent and 70.00 towards the phone bills. $ 170.00 Here is why: My apt complex's new owner is trying to get rid of all the older residents like myself especially since I am on unemployment and struggle to make rent on time for my son and I. I pay 525.00 for rent, my unemployment is 552.00 but that's hard to do when you have a little boy who eats more then foodcard gives anymore and also diapers and everyday expenses you encounter with a toddler. My apt is moldy since i moved in, i have been told of a new unit twice and they have been given away. I have one available next month so it is urgent that i make my rent this month, get into a healthy apt in the unit across from mine and my son will get better since getting pneumonia during this last month. It has held my work search up because he was sent to the ER two nights and then had problems with various antibiotics so its been hard to get arround to much of anything this month as far as work goes. Please I urge you I dont need much and I will even settle for 100.00 for rent if it comes down to it. Just please god please help us get out of this hellish place and on the road to self suffeciency. I am almost there but my local services are not available due to so many people out there who can wait at four a.m. to get rent assistance. I cant do that not with a one year old. :*( I also cant wait around hoping i win a lottery for rent assistance either. I call human solutions everymonth. I am a responsible caring mom, I have items to sell or trade JBL car amp, baby items/toys he's outgrown, Piaa fog light systems, dvds, pretty prom dresses in perfect condition or use towards donations if I am awarded my AIDE requested amount.
