Hello, my name is jackie.
I am a 31 yr old female living in the bronx. I have been living here since march 2009. In may 2009 I was injured at work and since then have not been able to work full time. My doctor says my back is not healing properly so she requested that I stay out of work for a month. Unfortunately building managers don’t understand or care to understand the difficulties I am struggling with. I know they cannot allow me to live here rent free but there is nowhere for me to go for help. I owe $2,500 towards back rent and $300 in electricity bills. I have tried applying for public assistance but was rejected due to the fact that I’m not a drug addict or a single mother of 3 or an abuse victim. I am just a hardworking woman, I have worked since I was 13. My tax dollars help support so many people who are on welfare and now in my time of need the very same people who appreciate my tax dollars can do nothing for me. I’m part of this public, why am I not being given some assistance. I’ve never been through anything like this before and I am extremely nervous that I will be evicted if I can’t make any kind of payment by the end of the month. I can’t work for another month so I have no income right now and I don’t know how long worker compensation will take to reimburse me of my lost wages so I am turning to this website for any kind of help. Please I am in dire need of some help. I thank you from the bottom of my heart any help is greatly appreciated.
