Desperately seeking help
Description
I'm writing this in a desperate attempt to find someone willing to help me out.
I gave my landlord my end of tenancy notice and then failed to find a new place before the move out date. My landlord was unwilling to work with me and ended up evicting me - leaving myself and my two kids homeless. I rented a storage unit for all of our belongings and got us a hotel room, planning to stay there until I found something permanent that would be suitable and affordable for the 3 of us. Within a week of our eviction, CAS apprehended my children- even though a hotel is a completely safe and suitable place for children to live temporarily. My children were never abused or neglected. They were happy, healthy, and always well taken care of. My son (6 years old) was taken from his school, so I didn't even get the opportunity to tell him that I loved him and everything would be ok. He was placed in the care of my ex's grandmother, who kept him from me for 60 days after this. Before that, my son and I had never been away from each other for more than two days. And as if he wasn't already dealing with enough changes, his grandma switched his schools as well. My daughter (6 months old) was placed with my sister. I got to see her about once a week at my mothers. This was all before the covid-19 outbreak. When we had the first lockdown in march, I was no longer allowed to see my daughter anymore. I didn't get to see her other than through video chats until 8 months later. Every day has been agony for me. My daughter and I no longer have a bond like we use to, and it devastated me. I have applied to countless places. I don't have very good credit, and being evicted from my previous place, which I believe are partially why I have not heard back from any of them. I have blown through all of my savings from paying for my hotel room, my storage unit, as well as my phone bill and food and other essentials for everyday living. I haven't been able to afford to pay for my storage unit for about 3 months now, and it is currently scheduled for auction. It has everything me and my kids own in it as well as many sentimental items... I am also behind on my phone bill and it will be disconnected soon if I can't make a payment on it.
What I am hoping for is to find someone who would be willing to lend me the money I need so that I don't lose everything me and my kids own... my storage provider doesn't allow partial payments, and that is a big factor in why I have gotten so far behind.
My hopes are also for someone to see this that owns any rental property (2-3 bedrooms) or know someone that does - and would be willing to rent a place to me for a reasonable amount... any help would be greatly appreciated, and I could pay back anyone that helps me out as soon as I am back on my feet.
