I'm not familiar with how this works, but I do know that right now I'm starting to give up hope on everything at this point even life. My faith has been weakend beyond repair at this point. So the one thing I can ask from everyone is to just pray for me and my family. It's been a downward spiral since 2007, just so much that the fact that I'm still here must mean I'm stronger than I thought. However moving forward, I've been in Atlanta since this November, I moved here from PA after living there a year, my husband lost his job and in the same month our landlord evicted us NOT for non-payment of rent but becuase we complained about broken windows that were never fixed and structural damages to the home that would never get fixed. It reached a point, I was constantly taking my daughter to the emergency room. You would think well how could he evict you, well I'm still trying to figure out how the documents from housing, pictures and a letter from my doctor was not enough to convince a judge that I was contending with a slumlord. Which the judge ruled in favor of the landlord, a posession of property back to the landlord. It may have something to do with the judge and the landlords father being friends, but I digress.
We moved back to Atlanta in hopes of finding a better life, we had a little saved up but between moving,gas and staying in a hotel since 11/15 our saving has gone. We were unable to get apartments because of a prior eviction in 2007 (our fault due to recession) and the apartments that offered Second Chances wanted a huge deposit we counln't afford. We tried Craigslist but the homes we saw wanted both a deposit and first month rent with application fees. Again this we just dont have. I'm at my wits end, as of today we will be living between our car and whatever shelter will take us in for the night. I don't know what to do anymore. I have a 4 year old daughter and a 16 year old son and I've failed them. We're homeless with no hope for anything better. The holidays are approaching and I have nothing to give my kids for Xmas and even if I did I couldn't keep it because I don't have anywhere to keep it. I need help.
