I need help paying for my storage unit. I had two surgeries in August, a tooth extraction and a strangulated hernia fix that put me out of commission and unable to work (I do mostly freelance work, but also supplement my income by helping with odd jobs, mostly handyman type stuff and helping people move) for close to 7 weeks. With especially the the hernia surgery, I was unable to do any of that until basically right now. I had a phone call with a caseworker that I connected with through the hospital that might be able to help me with my phone bill/food/hospital bill, but she is not sure if it can cover storage units. I have a follow up call on Monday
I have a storage unit because I am essentially homeless. My mother is in HUD housing and I moved back up to be her caregiver, but the building will not allow me to live there until I am officially her caregiver, which is a process that we started in May and are still waiting for me to be certified (I've completed all the tasks, the company just has not responded to our calls or emails). So I have all my stuff still in storage until I officially can move it in, and have been sleeping in various places until it gets sorted out.
The total amount after convenience fees is about $484 for September and October, but I have $260 after fees that needs to be paid before the 18th I believe before they add on a lien fee of $110 to my account. They do not accept partial payments or payment plans, even with documentation from the hospital that I did have the surgery.
So either $260 or $484 would be a massive help.
I have paypal, venmo, and cashapp.
Please help if you can.
