What led up to this problem is long, and I have about 2 hours to get a great deal done, so this will have to be a very quick plea for help. I can explain more fully later, after I have a place for the night — likely a motel room for now.
As of noon, TODAY, I and the cats are homeless once more. My landlord is insisting that I leave, and given me about 2.5 hours to get my personal items out. As I’ve mentioned before, this rooming house operates under hotel/motel laws — which means they can evict you “on the spot” for any reason. The short answer for their reason right now is that they’ve decided that I am a bigger problem than the tenant who beats his girlfriend (who shouldn’t even be there), or the drunk who bangs on doors in the middle of the night, or the numerous safety issues here, etc. Instead, “I” am the problem because for all the money he’s been paid over the last year and more, I apparently “complain” too much. Or I expect too much — like peaceful sleep without lunatics at my door or listening to some gal screaming for help at 2am. Then there’s the fact that when she screams for help, and I can’t reach the landlord at that ungodly hour, I tend to call 911. Apparently they don’t like that either, because it makes them look bad.
I have all the medical supplies that were sent so far, but please do NOT send more until I have a new address for it all.
What I need help with right now is a motel or some similar setup that I can stay in at least for a week while I figure out what to do next. For tonight I’m going back to that motel I stayed in after the eviction, since I know they’re ok with the cats. I got a rate of $44/night because I’m in AARP, but I can only afford one night at the moment.
They do have wifi there, although it doesn’t work well. But once I’m there I can log back in and check on this diary. Until then, PLEASE send whatever help you can, to at least get me a few more nights there.
If anyone wants to pay directly to the motel, I’ll provide the info once I’m checked in. Meanwhile, any donations sent via Paypal should get to me tomorrow morning, so I can put them toward the bill to get one more day. (PS — the weekly rate may be a bit cheaper overall, but it’s still costly, so we can discuss which option is better later).
What really scares me right now is that I could end up being there long term once more, as I still have a problem finding a place due to my lack of verifiable income. Worst case, warm weather is coming, so I could live in my car for a while, but I’d have no way to connect online like that (no tablet — just a desktop pc), and I still can’t even charge my phone in the car due to the lighter/dc outlet not working. But it’s a last resort if necessary, I guess.
Please help in whatever way you can. This came up all of a sudden, so I’ve had no time to plan at all, and I need at least a couple of days to decompress and figure out what my next move is. Thank you!!
