Hey, guys...
I hope all of you are well. I really love this community because you have shown such love and generosity to my family in the past; and I've watched over and over again as you've rallied around others in the fandom community to help them as well. You helped me a few years back when my husband lost his job, and you helped my mom last year when she was in the hospital fighting cancer (she's cancer free a little over a year today, BTW!!! <3 <3 <3 ).
Today I need to ask for your help, but this time I'm not asking for a handout. I'm asking for a loan.
My husband and I have been very abruptly asked to leave the house we're currently staying in. It's through no fault of our own, we've faithfully paid our rent here for the past five years, and our landlords would also say that they've had no issues with us. They're having personal issues and need the house for their own use, and therefore have to ask us to leave. They've given us until the middle of November.
On the good side, my husband is working regularly and my work as an independent contractor is going really well right now - but I won't see the money from that for about a month. I have to say we've been very blessed, and our rent at this house has been FAR under market... but that also means that it's impossible to find anything for such a low price now that we need it. :/
So, now instead of needing just $600 for next month's rent, which we'd easily have - we need roughly $700 at least, plus an additional $700 for a deposit, plus an additional $200-300 for the pet deposit so that we can keep our dog. :/
If this was happening a couple months from now, it'd be much easier - but it's happening NOW and we don't have the money for all the moving expenses. We basically have about $900 right now to go towards the move - when what we need is closer to $1700. So that leaves us needing about $800 in order to be able to make the move.
If some of you are able to not gift me, but LOAN me some money via Paypal so that we can make the deposit - I will definitely pay it back. I can't guarantee EXACTLY when, but it'd be within the next three months for sure. If you send me the money via Paypal, then I will have a record of exactly who loaned me how much, and as the money comes in from my work, I can send it back to you via Paypal as well. :)
My paypal address is dreamsofspike@gmail.com.
I feel like you all have given me more than enough, and I hate to ask for more, but right now we're in need and the best I can do is to promise to pay it back. Thanks so much in advance for any help you can offer, I love you all so much.
*hugs*

Update: Looks like we don't have to move after all! SO relieved! It's not 100% certain yet, I won't 100% trust it until the paperwork is signed lol - but we've been told it's going to be written into our landlords' divorce contract that no changes can be made in regards to the property for at least a year - and she's assuring us that means we won't have to leave for that long. But her husband has changed his mind over and over again about so many things - right now my plan is to hold onto the three monetary contributions I've received until the middle of November when the papers are supposed to be signed. Once they are signed and I KNOW we don't have to go - I'm going to return the money to those very generous, kind friends who have helped us! <3
Thank you so much, your generosity has touched us so deeply. I'm so glad it looks like I'll be able to get your money back to you WAY sooner than I had expected!
*hugs*
