Dear K'lal Yisroel,
Hi everyone. It is Shaya from Queens, NY. I sent out an e-mail yesterday telling you about my eviction notice. I want to make my situation clear. This is not an official or legal eviction. It is just the fact that I owe 3 mo. rent at $700 a mo., for April, May, & June, which totals $2,100. I've been asked to leave before, but somehow I bought some time to stay longer. Yesterday, June 8th, I was asked by my landlord to pack up and be out by Friday, the 12th.
I rent the basement of a house. My landlords are very nice frum people. I feel bad by putting them in this predicament.
I would like to thank everyone so much for taking the time to respond and for offering me wonderful advice, recommendations, and encouragement. I am following through with your advice and recommendations.
I have contacted the Met Council and The Queens Jewish Council and the are trying to help me with one months rent ($700) in order to buy myself some time. As I have mentioned yesterday, I have Asperger's Syndrome, which makes my situation even more painful and difficult. Due to this, I will be following the advice many of you gave me to apply for disability. I will be leaving soon to go and apply. If I can get disability, then I will be able to see the Dr,'s that can treat me and perhaps I can go back to work and keep a job.
And now I'm going to do something I never had to do and I really dislike doing. It's very humbling and perhaps humiliating to ask for money, but at this point I have no other choice. Can each and every one of you give $1.00 to help alleviate my situation. If each of you can give $1.00, by the end of the day I should have $1,000 and that would be such a help. My landlord told me if I can pay $200 a week, they will be willing to work with me.
I have a blog and on the top left of the page their is a DONATE button. All the money that is donated there goes directly to me.
So once again, I am asking each of you to please donate $1.00 to help alleviate my predicament. Here is the link to my Blog: http://jewishmusicarchive.blogspot.com
If every single one of you gives $1.00, you will be helping me tremendously. You have no idea how much pain and stress I am in right now. $1.00 will go a long way to better my situation.
I would like to thank everyone again for your kindness and for caring about me and my well being.
Tizku L'mitzvos! May Hashem repay you for your kindness a million times.
My Love & Thanks,
Shaya
