Re: Live right outside Miami and need help and everyone turned me down

Just a note to anyone reading this too - NEVER mail cash or send money directly to someone you only know from the internet.

Hi Donnette The security deposit is usually the hardest part of moving and amount of aid often not as great if offered at all. Since you sort of cover two states of OK and TX, see the directory of rent assistance options by county and state on the site then scroll to pick your area. Again, since 2 s...
