T O P I C R E V I E WballerinaSince October of 21, I have beenlooking for a place to rent! InNew Hampshire the rental priceshave skyrocketed out of control,I was homeless, again. A studioapartment rents for $1400 a month,no utilities included!So, I sought help from SouthernNH Services, for their Covid reliefprogram, that did not help, I couldnot find any landlords who wantedto deal with this program. After 3 months of searching, I still had not found anything! I begged andpleaded, telling them about my mom'scondition and age..So, they said theywould put us up in a hotel..they couldnot find any available rooms inManchester..on February 2nd theyfound us a room, a half hour awayin Nashua. Now, this is crazy, we'rein a Homewood Suites by Hilton, thecost for 30 days is $2452!This program can cover you for up to18 months, they even cover utilities!Here's the problem, the rental prices are still going up, and theamount of homeless people increasesdaily, and now the hotels are filledup with homeless people.The system doesn't work! So many people have lost their apartments,so many people have lost their homes!I've written to the mayor and thegovernor to no avail...The reality of this is so ridiculous!Why haven't they put a cap on rentalprices!?Anyway, this problem is growing outof control!..there are plenty of jobs out there,people just don't have anywhere tolive. Did you know that New Hampshire'sminimum wage is $7.25!?Does any of this make sense?------------------All my love, with all my Heartlotusheartone/EmeraldopalBelageHi ballerina, I am really sorry to hear of your plight. It is terrible to be homeless in the middle of the winter in a cold place like New Hampshire. It looks like on top of that, you also have your mom with you and she has some kind of health condition...?The cost of living in NH is higher than the national average. If you and your mom are subsisting on a fixed income, have you thought about relocating to another state where the cost of living is not so high and you can find apartments at a more decent price? ballerinaGgod day, Belage!We have entertained many thoughtsof relocating...my mom has to dealwith my sister's mental healthissues, and I have my daughter'smental health issues, and need tobe on hand for my grandson. We areall in NH. Also, my alien card has expired,and it's $600 to renew it! Becauseof this I have not received anystimulus payments, can't renew mydriver's license, etc. I would love to move South, so tiredof the cold weather!I continue toEXPECT A MIRACLE!..I'm trying to convince all of themof leaving this state!What it all comes down to isMONEY!------------------All my love, with all my Heartlotusheartone/EmeraldopalBelage quote:Originally posted by ballerina:Ggod day, Belage!We have entertained many thoughtsof relocating...my mom has to dealwith my sister's mental healthissues, and I have my daughter'smental health issues, and need tobe on hand for my grandson.

Having an extended family with mental health issues can make it difficult to relocate. I wish there was a way I could help to contribute to the money you need to renew your alien card. I am happy to donate something to a crowfunding site, as long as it's not GoFundMe because of what it did to the Truckers Convoy. There is a faith based site called GiveSendGo.com, and they do not charge fees to the donors like GoFundMe does. You might consider using it and then let us know so that those of us here in LL who wish to contribute can do so. @ Randall, I hope my proposal is not against forum rules. ballerinaOh my Ggodness, Belage!You have truly touchedmy heart..I have a very hard timeasking for help...I have filled out a waiverfor my alien card twice,the 2nd time was while Iwas at the homeless shelter.Both times they denied me!It just doesn't make senseto me. People have told me I shouldset up a gofundme, but I justdidn't feel right about it. There are so many people, I'msure, that need help more thanI do.I shall give it much thought!I truly need to make somethinghappen!Thank you for your kindness, I have happy tears rollingdown the cheeks of my Soul...------------------All my love, with all my Heartlotusheartone/EmeraldopalBelageYou are welcome, ballerina. I am sure I am not the only one who is willing to help. You have been with LL since 2014. ETA: If you decide to get crowdfunding and you find a reputable one, please come back with the link in this thread, and I will start a thread to ask people to contribute. Again, I will not do it for GoFundMe because of how they have treated the Truckers Convoy funding. But any other crowdfunding is fine with me. RandallOf course, Belage.ballerinaI have a problem..lol.What's new!?Staying in the hotel, leaves me without anaddress. Making it verydifficult for me to createany new accounts! I actually joined LindalandIn July of 2005 as lotusheartone,Then as emeraldopal, and finallyas ballerina..that's the reasonfor my signature!Belage,If I figure something out, I'lllet you know. God knows I reallyneed help!Again, thank you so much!------------------All my love, with all my Heartlotusheartone/EmeraldopalGalacticCoreExplosionV2 Can you get a PO box address?ballerinaI can't get a P O box withouta picture ID ...
