Hello,
I was recently laid off from work on 5/31/2012. Until that point I was a fully self sufficient mother of two, working hard to provide for my children. I was always able to make ends meet and was even able to help others through this and other charitable sites. Now the tables have turned and I could really use some assistance. I have tried to work with my landlord in regards to my current situation and have been told that I must come up with July's rent in full or face a 30 day notice to vacate. This equates to $850. My 12 year old son is a special needs child with Autism. I would hate to lose this house as it is one of the most affordable in this area, and this would have negative consequences in that my son desperately needs to continue to have familiar surroundings and structure in place with his disability. I am confident I will find another job as I have a long work history with a good work ethic, I am just not finding this process to happen as fast as I would like in today's job market. If rent assistance cannot be offered I will humbly take any other assistance afforded such as electric and water bill assistance, gas cards, restaurant and grocery store gift cards, coupons, and mail to brighten up the day of my 11 year old daughter and 12 year old son.

Thank you so much in advance for any help you can offer! All advice is also most welcome.
