Re: Can't work from health issues, so behind on rent

Hello and good evening, I'm looking and pleading to obtain assistance with my rent due to an unforeseen and unfortunate financial crisis, which was me being sick. I recently lost my job the day before Labor Day weekend. In effort to attempt to recoup and regain financial stability and security I started to apply through online services such as Indeed, Craigslist, and CareerBuilder. And it has been tough to get work due to my health issue.
I was victimized through a fraudulent perpetrator on Craigslist.com who led me to believe that he would hire me as a Receptionist and pay me weekly. He said he would pay me weekly for work and sent me a check supposedly for my first week of work. It turned out to be a counterfeit check and my bank closed out all of my accounts. Unfortunately, I was supposed to have my last check direct deposited into my account, but since my account is now closed I unfortunately cannot even get paid for tomorrow since my check will return.
I would've been $400 short anyway on my rent but was going to see about unemployment assistance. I've always been a good citizen and person. Have always looked out for my community and have volunteered in many occasions to give back. Now I'm in much need of assistance here.
I have two children residing with me along with my sister, her three sons, and her husband. No one is able to help me with the rent within the household. My rent was due on 8/10 but I am given a grace period of four days but after that I'm charged a late fee of $50 per day. I have not been given an eviction notice as of yet due to still being within the grace period till today.
I only need help for this month since, even with this health care need, I have been hired to work with a new employer but won't start training till next month in October. But I am begging for help just this once. I have never ever asked for this type of assistance because I have always worked hard to provide for my family but this one time I slipped up and the bad luck got the best of me.
