Living rent free as we fix home
Posted: Thu Jul 28, 2022 7:04 am
Good afternoon,
My name is Brandy am my husband and I have recently been evicted from our home, but now we are living rent free in a fixer upper. We were Blessed with the offer from a gentleman to work on a house in Albion in return for free rent. Right now the house is far from being considered up to code. But it's A roof over our head. Without it we would be homeless. I guess it use to be a trap house????? That's what the neighbors are telling us. Anyway. We are looking for jobs but have not been successful. When we moved in 3 weeks ago we didn't have running water pet alone it being hot. Thank goodness we got that about 4 days ago. We are still in need of a few basic things like a washer and dryer with no money to go to the laundry mate. I have at least 15 garbage bags full of urine and fecal latter smell in clothes that need to be washed. As when we were evicted we had already been with out hear water and power since January.
A refrigerator we have been using a mini fridge. While food we put in it is limited it's something. We could use any help in the food area as possible as DHS can help us because the landlord won't fill out the paperwork.
We also need a bed. We have been sleeping separately. One of us on a air mattress the other in a chair.
We have been trying to get a rescues to come get the strays we took off the street be cause they don't get along with our dog. So in a crate they sit. We could use some food for them as well. As of right now I believe he is paying all bills but I l am not sure. The city is Albion the state is MI. Can we get help with rent and housing in the free fixer upper?
