I need money to pay my rent.

my girlfriend is out of work for two more weeks so I don’t have enough money to pay the rent. We just got this place two months ago. Really not trying to loose it. I do work but with child support and food I don’t know how I am going to make it for the month of september.

If you have a job with a paycheck you can try to use one of those check cashing companies. In effect they give you a loan against your future pay and take a service fee. It’s not a first choice option, but if you are desperate, you might have to consider it…

You’ve been given pretty good advice, even to the point of someone offering direct support. Just take the advice and work hard.

Go to all local churches, County Assistance Office for emergency assistance. They may help with vehicle & repair, rent, child care, food, etc (especially if you have an eviction notice), Community Action Centers, Men’s shelters, Womans shelters, Salvation Army, Red Cross. They all should be able to help with something until your needs are met, they can also provide you with a list of other help centers. Call directory assistance to see if there is a Link Up in the area. Go to or call all of the food pantries also, they will have information on who can help.

Looks like there are a lot of people in the same boat with me! I need to pay my rent by tomorrow (5/20) or face eviction. I paid part of it, but now the rest is due - $1100. I have tried payday loans, with no luck. Apparently, I don’t make enough to pay back the loan. I have been unemployed for over 8 months now, but I do receive child support, unemployment and I work part time, but the lenders only consider my paycheck.
If any one knows anywhere I can get help (I am near Dallas, TX) or if someone is willing to help out, I would GREATLY appreciate it. I can pay back over time.
I just need to get onto a level playing field.

Jules
