Our Landlord Sold Our Home, & We Have 30 Days to Move! Please Help!

My Story:

I have four beautiful boys that I'm raising on my own as a single mother. My oldest is 14 years old, and he loves everything about computers from building them to playing video games. My two middle children are twins, and they love playing video games together with their older brother. Finally, my youngest is 2 years old, and he loves cars and playing with toy cars. Raising four children on my own isn't easy, but I'm a proud mother, and I wouldn't trade my family for the world.

Our recent hardship was brought on by our landlord's decision to sell the home that we've been living in for the past five years. The home was recently purchased by a new landlord who has told us that we need to leave in the next 30 days. She didn't give us a reason, and now, on incredibly short notice, I have to move my whole family to a new home. This is coming at a time where costs of living and inflation are at a 40 year high, and now I have to find a way to pay a security deposit, our old rent, our new rent, and for moving costs as well. I just can't afford to do this on such short-notice, so I'm humbly asking for assistance with the moving costs.

I'm doing everything I can to avoid becoming homeless with my four children, but no matter how hard I try, I don't think we're going to have enough to do this on our own. However, with this assistance, we'll be able to afford to move. This is a difficult situation, but I know that we can get through it and find a new home to make memories in. We would be eternally grateful for the help that we receive with that, and I promise that I will find a way to pay this kindness forward.
