Urban League housing reapply
Posted: Sat Apr 23, 2022 6:19 am
I received a rent assistance check from the Indianapolis Urban League back on 12/31/21, check #3373. The rules say it has to be at least 90 from the last check, but it as been much longer than that. It also says not reapply but to stick with the original application number assigned to you. I am in the process of applying for Disability, and I had my interview with them yesterday. They said it could be 3 to 6 months before a decision is made either way. In the meantime, I am humbly begging for your assistance with my rent. My landlord is threatening to sell the home I'm living in if he isn't paid by me or the Urban League, and he means it. He would make a very nice profit if he sold my home now. I have lived here for 6 ½ years and always paid on time until last December, when I ran out of money.
I lost my job at the beginning of the pandemic. The theatre that I worked at had to shut down due to the Governor's order for social distancing. As a result, the theatre had to let go several employees in order for them to save money and stay solvent while the shut-down lasted. I was one of these, despite having seniority over the majority of the employees. When I asked about the possibility of returning, I was told no, that my supervisor would do my work instead. Following this, I nursed my mother until she died from pancreatic cancer. We were all waiting for the COVID vaccine to become available to us. My health has been bad for the last 10 years, 5 of them spent doing weekly shots of interferon to battle melanoma (skin cancer) which made me "have the flu" every weekend. It worked, thankfully, but did have side effects: dulling my memory, arthritis in my spine, hips, knees, and wrists, my thyroid quit working, muscle weakness, and chronic fatigue. I already had a problem with migraine and tension headaches most of my life, and a Spigelian hernia for the last 19 years.
I just need temporary help with housing from the Urban League at the lowest point in my life. I don't have any family or friends that can or will help me.
Most sincerely,
