My name is Anthony and I am a Minister. I receive SSI and I've always paid my rent. I have an interview to be my own rep payee, but since I couldn't get an appointment sooner (covid-19 issues) my benefits have been temporarily suspended. I have two cats and what little I have I've offered to sell but I don't really have anything anyone wants. My landlord isn't a very understanding person, I've tried begging. My rent, phone bill, and cats food are the most important items on every months expenses. I can't go back to being homeless. I spent 17 years (starting at 14 years old) being homeless without anyone to turn to. It's more traumatizing than I can really express. I don't want to find out what that's like in my late 30's. I have a daughter and her mother already refuses to give me visits. If I lose my place to live she'll definitely never let me see my daughter. I'm so desperately praying i can raise any part of $800 for my rent so that I can offer any of the rent to my landlord. I know I can get to be my own rep payee, and I'll be able to pay my rent on time every month without fail but with the current circumstances I could lose my benefits as well. I don't have anyone in my life to turn to. No family, no friends, no known services. This was all very sudden and I try to never have to ask for anything from anyone. I am a minister and will always be there for others, and I'm praying this one and only time I can get this help I need so incredibly.
(you may notice that my account is currently over drafted and that's why it's not an even amount I need to raise, God bless you for your considerations)
