Money to rent a bedroom

Post by Ashley C »

I am in need of help with my bedroom rent payment of $500 this month for a room I have.
I am on SSI due to physical and mental health issues. I lost my place of living on December 10th of 2021. I had thought I found a place to live on December 8th however I paid the soon to be roommate $500 to move in and when I went to move in the next day I was unable to due to the tenant had moved out and took off with my money. Then because of the time of year I was unable to find anything immediately so I spent the next 5 weeks living in hotels and that exhausted savings and plus help from family and friends.
Then on January 9th I had a 200ml red blood cell loss during a plasma donation appointment which deferred me for 8wks from donating plasma. Because of being unable to donate 2xs/week that is a loss of at least $120/wk.
Finally on January 13th of 2022 I was able to find a residence to rent a bedroom and I moved in the he next day. The cost to move in though was the $500a month rent plus a $200 deposit. Luckily the landlord was willing to take the $200 to let me move in and then on January 26th when I received my check from SSI I had to give him the $500 rent. Now rent is due on the 14th and I don't get my next SSI Check until the 23rd. I am hoping to be able to come up with at least half, $250, to give the landlord and hopefully he will wait for the remainder $250 on the 23rd when I get my SSI direct deposit.
I don't know where else to turn to for help.
I hope to find help with this.
