"We are made to persist."
[ EDIT ] https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5548130/ You guys, you did it. My home is safe! Thank you all so much for the response in my time of need. I really cannot thank you all enough <3
My mom lost her job back in August of last year. By virtue of my having a birthday in that month and one or two extraordinary people ( you know who you are) helping me out, we managed to keep food in the fridge and the lights on. Then September rolled around, and somehow, I still managed to get enough help to do that. Then mom got another job, only to be furloughed for three weeks because of the government shutdown in October.
The upshot of this is that the Mortgage company, in all of that time, wasn't getting their share. Mom explained to them what happened. They didn't listen. She asked them to not automatically withdraw payments from her bank account. They said they would, didn't stop, and blamed it on her for not changing her account preferences online, which no one told her she had to do. So were were shuffled over to another company for some reason I'm still not sure about. They didn't have a correct phone number for mom. All they did was send several vaguely menacing letters. When mom called them about them, they verbally abused her over the phone and told her that the only reason they would hold off on foreclosing that very day was because of her circumstances, since they didn't have any way to warn her. They demanded a back payment of three thousand, five hundred dollars due by February 28th.
We've been trying to raise the money. It's not working. We have one thousand, eight hundred dollars to go.
I'm also sheltering a homeless friend at the moment.
All is not lost. I have good reasons to believe we can make it. But if you can help make it a sure thing instead of a maybe... Please. I am begging you.
I helped build this house. I literally put blood, sweat and tears into it, and it and its acre of land may be the only thing I inherit from my mother when, hopefully many years from now, she passes. It has extreme sentimental value and in practical terms.... it beats a tent in the woods.
tl;dr
I need your help to save the house that Nomi built. I have to send them the money ON the 28th of February, which is this Friday. Please donate, signal boost, whatever you can to help before then. Please.
If you want to donate to me all I know to do is list my paypal, na.artisans[at]gmail.com , or contact me via notes or IMs which I'm going to make sure I have listed.
[EDIT] Someone asked me why I'm not opening for emergency commissions. There are a couple of reasons for that.
1) I actually owe some people some work that they've been waiting... well, a lot longer than I'm really happy with.
2) I am extremely fucked up. I mean that in no uncertain terms, my confidence in my ability to produce work, especially in exchange for money, is basically gone. There are a lot of reasons for this, most of which revolve around semi-crippling mental illness which is only being exacerbated by my current situation. I am learning to manage. I'm slowly getting to a point where I could competently work for people again. I know I'd get a lot more hits if I did that. It wouldn't be fair though, to anyone, for me to start promising out art that god knows would likely take forever to see the light of day for money to save my ass.

Message someone in the mods for immediate support and signal boosting. Only just now seeing this. You can also post in the shouts for help, of course.
Good luck, I hope you get what you need!! *offers hug*
Another thing is dept collecting companies don't have anywhere the legal standing to force payment as the original creditor does. There best weapon is scare tactics. By no means ignore this but don't let them scare you into doing things.
There are organizations out there to help people out that are in your boat. Just watch out for scammers!!! A lawyer can help here also.
Its free to talk to a lawyer to see if you might have a case.
