I've had to work really hard to get to where I am today. I am a fighter. All I ever do is fight, I fight to live, I fight to keep going, and I fight to stay alive. I am border line homeless. I can't afford my bills, I cannot afford rent anymore. I work full time and I have not seen a raise in 4 years. I am a single women no kids, no pets. Right now I am thinking of putting all my furniture in storage and just living out of my car. I've turned to a few people, but I am hesitant to tell others my situation in fear of being judged, or in worse cases turned down. I really cannot deal with getting turned down at this moment...so I don't even bother asking. I cannot go to shelters... because some people that I work with, work at the shelters within the area. Afraid of seeing them there, I do not go. My boyfriend of 7 years, I asked if he could give me a place to stay for awhile and he said that he is not in place to let me stay. I cannot go to my parents home, after suffering domestic abuse, both verbally and physically that is not an option at this time. I don't have money to pay my health bills, or my credit card bills. I am in debt of no more than $10,000 in Credit Cards. I wanted to file brankrupcy but need $1500 to do so...I don't have the money to file Bankruptcy, I don't have money for food, I only have enough money for rent and my car payments....which I am behind on. So I am not doing great, my spirits have diminished and I fear that all hope is gone. I need to be moved by Saturday Sept 17th 2011, which is this Saturday....My rent currently is $900, I cannot afford that..what I can afford is $300...I mainly just need a place to sleep. I have been searching for this the past few weeks, and i haven't found anything that is remarkable close. My credit is in poor condition and most places require a security deposit. I know I am not alone in this economic battle, which I guess I should feel relieved, but I feel more depressed knowing that others too face the same hard times that I do. This is not the American Dream, and this is not how people are suppose to be right now...people are suppose to help each other during this time, and I often feel people ask too much...
