2 days from Homeless
I'm gonna try this as short as I can....
This all starts with my mom. She has M.S. and cancer in her neck. I moved in bout 6 months ago to take care of her and help with the bills. I have been giving her bout 400.00 a week and also grocerys. Well last Sunday she tells me "I'm sorry but they have foreclosed on the house and we gotta be out by the 9th of May"... Holy SH**!! That's in 2 days from now. I've got 3 grand in the bank and 3 kids looking at me. I've been up late at nite packing and calling about houses like a mad man. I was soo o.k. before this on my own now I'm screwed and totally stressed out. I wanna be mad at my mom but I just can't. I feel like the whole world is crashing all around me.. THIS IS THE WORST FEELING EVER... Sorry guys I had to vent... I will post back when everything gets worked out.. Any (positive) comments would help....

>.< That really sucks...I'm kinda in a similar situation as well. I'm supporting my mom and giving her 200 bucks a month, then she told me the landlord's kicking them out of the place this May. I don't know where she'll be going though, as she lives in a different country. It's stressing but I know things will get better soon.
We were in a situation like that over a year ago too and had to move out of the place (Cali) in three days time. So now here we are in Ohio living with my dad and his family. It sucks, but we saw a way out of our problem, and so we took it. Try to look in different angles too, even if the situation's not as appealing.
Also, don't view it as the worst feeling ever...things can get worse, but fortunately, there's always still hope at the end of the day. You just have to think straight and act accordingly to each situation as possible. Be positive, as trite as that may sound. I don't exactly know what to tell you that may help you out, but hopefully you can find a place for you all in time. If you have to, borrow money from friends and family. =/

My mom is always telling us how poor we are, and if we get kicked out of the house or something, I'm screwed, because I'm old enough to move out, BUT I don't even have a high school diploma, so job-hunting will be a real pain in the ass.

You moved in to your moms house 6 months ago. Did you sell your place before moving there, or rent it? Or niether? If you rented it or just left it, you could always go back there, though I'm not sure how renting works really....
Or you could rent an apartment for a bit until you have enough to get a new house or pay off any loans you got.

I was renting and the house I was renting has since been rented out.. Though there is a court date tommorrow that I plan to go to in order to try to get an extention on the date we have to be out.. Another thought was get a storage unit (really big one), pack all my crap in there and get an apartment/something. I have a couple of leads for houses and still pounding those out.. Well I'll see how it goes it just is soo damn nerve racking. |

Hopefully you can get that extension date. Hmm, just in case you can't afford a down payment for a house yet (for I know it'd probably cost you a lot), try looking for a condo. I know usually you pay the same monthly as you do an apartment...but with a condo, you can at least pull some equity out. You'll just need a down payment, but at least the down payment wouldn't cost as much like the one for a house... |

... what the hell happened to human decency? I'd certainly not kick out a sick person, especially if they were paying a reasonable amount. Naturally I wouldn't put up with it forever but... that landlord's a dick for giving such short notice.
If you have no place of residence by the time you're removed, I suggest hiring a storage container for your things. At least then you can possibly stay at a friend's house for a few days while you get yourself and your mother somewhere to live, without wondering where the hell to put your stuff. You'd be better off looking for flat for now. Finances don't seem to be serving here, so getting somewhere as small as possible would be ideal... for your pocket.
It sucks to hear about this. I hope things turn out alright for you guys.
