I lost my house and we have to be out by September the 18th 2011, We have been blessed with another home to move to, but after I pay first months house payment and lawyers fees, I will not be able to afford moving expenses. We receive Social Securtiys Survivor Benefits as I am widowed with 3 boys with special needs, FASD, Tourettes and Crystal Meth with FAE. I have tried to find a way, even trying to sell my personal possessions, to make the money we need for moving. I need help, or we will lose the rest of everything we have left. Ps I am a covering and modest dressing Christian woman.
I am also a diabetic with onset of Osteoporosis, so I cant lift a lot of heavy things. Our new home is 5 hours away in the UP of Michigan near Marquette, I have only two options, have someone rent us a truck and drive it for us, or have a self move company bring a trailer here and we can pack it ourselves and they will move it, either way we are talking $1500.00 with a Uhaul or Budget Rental (including gas) or $1780.00 with the Upak from UPS Freight. I have called everywhere, churches, salvation army, St. Vincent De Paul, DHS, I am at a dead end, Please , Please, Please, can someone help us! We just want to get out of here and into our new home.
