I lost my job a couple of weeks ago, and unfortunately the rent is due by Friday. I'm really trying hard to secure a job quick, and if I do, I think my landlord will work with me. My wife and I are all we have. We've tapped out friends for money, and her parents are gone, so is my mother. My father isn't much help because he is struggling too, so I'm not going to bother him about this. Its just tough. I called emergency assistance here (after trying through 3 days of busy signals), and they told me to call back in the morning to set up an appointment for next wednesday. Sorry, but I'll probably be evicted before then, so thanks for the assistance. :(

I'm trying my hardest to keep my wife happy through all of this because she's scared. And yes, she's working but its only part-time and not anywhere near close enough to pay the bills. We're headed to the food bank because we're out of food to eat. Ugh...I can't even explain how mad I am at myself for letting this happen. Anyway, there's my story. Sorry to bug you.
