About melj

  My name is Melaney.  My husband is a veteran of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, and was discharged medically a few years ago.  We have four beautiful children, and have struggled to make ends meet ever since we had to leave the military.   He is attending school now and will finish in a year.  He was recently laid off and his previous employer did not send his last paycheck, and the part time job also cut back on jobs and hasn't sent his paycheck, either.  We are now going to be evicted from our apartment if we don't come up with our rent plus some late fees.  We are current on everything else but the car, but we have simply run out of money. My husband has been accepted at another place this week, but he won't get a paycheck for another two weeks yet, and we will be forced to leave in by midnight tomorrow night.   I need some help desperately.  We have gone to DES and they said they will help us but it takes a week or more to process the paperwork.  I am usually too proud to do this, ask for help from strangers and DES, but I don't know what else to do.   We have nowhere to go- we can repay anyone who is willing to help by June for certain.  If you cannot help tangibly, then please pray for us- pray that God will soften the landlords heart to negotiate for a longer deadline, and pray that the checks and funds necessary will come in time! 

  UPDATE!!!

  The money has come in- his work FINALLY sent the money and the rent was paid the DAY THE EVICTION was supposed to take place.  We are so very relieved.  My hubby still needs a job, and we have all the other bills to pay now, but one thing at a time, right?  God does answer prayer- I am living proof!
