My marraige has been falling a part for the past 5 years, and because of this I have been forced to go thru some very rough times. I am raising my 14 year old daughter and this has all been very, very hard on both of us. Last January I lost my job and was forced to go on state aid while looking for another one. However it was not enough to pay rent. My ex helped with the difference until he lost his job in June. So in July and August I was unable to pay the full amount of my rent. At the end of August I started working again, I love my job and I am very good at it. The pay is decent, however no sooner did I start there, when the Franchise Tax Board of California started garnishing my paychecks for back taxes. I was asked to move out of my apartment by the end of September. But my landlord did not evict me. I stayed in a motel for the first month but it was too expensive and I could not afford it. A friend said my daughter and I could stay there and my cats could stay in the garage. So we have been there since. On January 31, my last check will be garnished and by February 15 I will be at my full pay again. My friend lives in a house his mothers owns and she has now said my daughter, my cats and myself have to be out by this weekend January 20,21. I am so close to being able to stand on my feet and make a life for my daughter and myself. Just 1 month, after 5 years of hell. But I now find myself with no where to go for that month and no where to keep my cats, I don't have enough for a down payment on a place yet and my credit is not the best so I cant just move in anywhere. I am asking for one time assisstance to be given the chance to start again. Something to help this last month, somewhere to stay, and somewhere to keep my cats, they were there for me when I was at my lowest and I hand raised them since birth, I have 2. Can someone help me, advise me, get me into an apartment that allows pets in Castro Valley Ca? Give my daughter and I a chance for a happy life starting over. Thank you,
