This is about an old friend of mine, yet I am positive there are many more in the same situation and worse. She was an ex-husband away from living on the streets or in her car because she has four pets and poor credit. No one wants pets, and no one wants someone with poor credit. There are so many extenuating circumstances and no one wants to know. She still works full time and also receives a pension.
However when her son and husband died two years ago, life took a downhill spiral. I always knew her as a prideful person, who paid her bills and took care of the family. Suddenly with two tragedies, and enormous funeral bills to pay, her credit and her life took a nose dive. No one would or could help. Everyone has their own problems. I offered her to live here, but I too wouldn't not accept the cats, mainly because I'm kind of afraid of them. They are all clean animals. She takes very good care of them.
She would not leave her mother anyway who will be ninety three this summer. So she was evicted from her rental in Staten Island, a six day legal eviction. She needs if the smallest of anything a studio apartment that will allow pets in Bay Ridge for about 600. a month, hopefully out in the 70's, 80's etc, a nicer area.
Where is she living now you wonder. Just about all of her possessions went into storage and her ex-husband and his wife came to the rescue with a room, a room about the size of a kennel. She sleeps on a piece of a sectional, so very uncomfortable, but it's home for now. She wants to paint, but a real bed, give that box in a house a face lift. I won't describe the house but if I were to give it a name as a whole, I would simply called it, DEPRESSION. Nice people, helpful, but...
Can anyone out there there me how I could possible help her get her own studio when her credit appears stained to the hilt, all due to by the way, her helping others, being conned a very long time, paying for funerals and more, helping others buy a new car and now, almost seventy...she is a box away.
