Please help! Need to pay for storage before it is all auctioned off.

jjs started this conversation

Well, I haven't been here in a while. I ended up getting evicted from my apartment and moved from Texas to Oregon to stay with a friend. I'm still looking for work (it has now been over 2 years!) but, I have had interviews here, so things are looking up - or at least I like to think so. I find myself asking for help again, as when I left Texas I had to put all my stuff in storage. All my kids pictures and papers, all my school stuff & diplomas, furniture, kitchen stuff, the whole shebang. I was able to pay on it for several months, but now I am behind and I got the notice yesterday that I have until November 20th or it will all be sold at auction. I really don't think I could deal with that. After all that I have been through, all that I have overcome, all the sacrifices....that would truly be a final blow.
I owe about $300 at this point. To me it seems like a fortune. Perhaps if several people sent along parts of it, I could get enough caring people to help me pay it off. Please help me. I am still pushing along, trying to get work, looking in the Seattle area now and hoping that I can get a hand up in the world.

Managed to stave off the auctioning of my household goods, for the moment. I'm still waiting for a decision on unemployment - hopefully that will only be a matter of days and they will decide in my favor.
I want to move up to Seattle. I have been in contact with several agencies up there and they claim that they can put me to work, even if it is temporary. Thing is, I have to be there to work. So, again, waiting on unemployment and hoping for help to move. I really wouldn't need that much, as it is only me at this point. I've been pricing apartments and looking at jobs online, but not actually being there is a hinderance. I'm ready to go, have finished my work here, but I need help getting the funds to move. I figure that about $3000 ought to do it - that would be the actual drive and renting an apartment, getting services turned on and such.
Anybody have any ideas? I am, by trade, an administrative assistant, so I can do paperwork for anyone. I have a degree (masters!) and want to get to work, but where I am right now, there simply are no jobs.
