Been laid off over 1 1/2 years ago, and struggling to keep the apt we rent. Son is 10 w/severe Bipolar Disorder. I get daily calls from school, have worked with officials and social workers to help him. He's on Lithium, Zoloft, and Strattera and becoming immune to the meds fast, his behaviors falters so often. Psychiatrist keeps increasing meds. This costs a fortune. I'm still waiting for his Medicaid to go through to help with those costs. He's also in therapy weekly and becomes so depressed that almost weekly or more he talks about killing himself and just cries all night long! I've hid knives on more than one occasions. He continues to have bizarre behaviors that are dangerous and he has no concept that he could suffer severe consequences because of this behavior. The problem is I need money for finding a new place to live. We have been evicted, and have to be out next week. I was finally offered a job last week, but have no savings, credit cards, etc. I declared bankruptcy immediately after I lost my job. So, I don't qualify for sect 8 housing even. I have spoken with many people at the county assistance office. I don't think that makes sense, but because it is, I have a real problem finding decent housing. We may have to stay at a friend's, but there is no room for us, and I don't know how my son will act while there. It is a grave concern to me. He's capable of everything. I want to NOT remain living with anyone for too long. I start my job next week, and don't know how long it will take to come up with enough money for first rent and security deposit, let alone finding a landlord who would be willing to take a chance with my credit history. I desperately want to be able to keep my son in his school, as I fear a sudden change would only make his condition worse. If anyone can help me out with money for rent and deposit, it would be greatly appreciated. I am not apposed to paying it back, very soon. It is just bad timing with the eviction and a new job. I don't have the money upfront. Thanks for listening, and for any help! It won't ever be forgotten!!!
