Voucher program is supposed to help poor families rent a home. Nearly half the time, it fails.
Nearly half of people who receive federal housing vouchers are unable to use them. "It's a dire situation," one researcher said.

We are a homeless and disabled family trying to raise funds for motel rent, groceries, pet supplies, and storage fees. We have until Friday to raise rent. Please repost and donate if you can. Anything helps, folks. We are desperate. We were featured in USA Today linked below w/ donation options.
Moving motels today. We can extend until Tuesday when Mom gets paid. Trying to raise about $300 by then so we can extend for a full week. Please donate and repost!!

Phone bill processed last night and I'm negative four dollars in the red right now. If anyone could shoot me a $5 before the overdraft fee hits, that would be awesome. Should get my GFM deposit tomorrow right before rent is due. Thanks!

Our storage with all of our belongings in it, my baby pictures, my Dad's things, etc is past due by the end of the day Saturday. Anything and everything to help us save it would be vastly appreciated. No donation is too small or insignificant. Please share the post!!

I was able to extend until Saturday, we are going to try and find a cheaper room to avoid "event pricing." That will help us be closer to covering the storage. We have until Saturday! Anything and everything helps, we are close to saving all of our belongings!!

EMERGENCY UPDATE
Folks, we are very behind this week. Tomorrow morning I should be able to extend until Friday or Saturday, but that leaves nothing for supplies and gas. The storage is also due by the end of the day on Saturday I believe, or we will lose every single thing we own.

We were able to extend until Wednesday morning. The storage is due by the end of the month. We need a miracle to make it this week. Please consider signal boosting and/or donating if you can. Anything and everything you can spare helps. Literally no amount is too small.

It's been a hard week. I can't seem to ever get even, let alone ahead. To top it off, I'm just in so much pain and so stressed out. If it weren't for my mom and pets, I wouldn't even bother trying. I feel so defeated and alone. I just want to thank everyone that helps though.
