Please Help This Furry
9 years ago
Onyx's father named him as the executor of his will. That makes Onyx responsible for his fathers debts, including a mass of unpaid utility bills, some credit card debt and $18,000 in unpaid mortgage. His father left a life insurance policy, but it wasn't enough to cover everything, (especially after his estranged mother and brother browbeat $9,500 out of him.) Onyx is disabled, he cannot work. (And yes, of course SSI rejected him.) The bank has already filed with the courts to foreclose on Onyx's house; there's no way he'll be able to keep it now.
Onyx has friends who are willing to put him and his two cats up until he can get his act back together, but not until the end of February. Onyx needs money for utilities and food until then. Hopefully the courts won't decide on the case until February, but if they do, Onyx will need rent money as well.
Onyx believes he will need $5,000 to finish paying off his father's bills and keep himself going until March. Towards that, he has started a GoFundMe campaign. So far he has $315. Please consider helping this house-poor Furry.
I do not have a journal or FA for Onyx, just his GoFundMe campaign. -- https://www.gofundme.com/nicks-fore.....emergency-fund
And remember, if you'd like to help, but can't contribute right now, a signal boost is usually helpful, too. You may copy-pasta this journal, the URL links should still work.
I do not know or watch Onyx myself; he was recommended by kinojaggernov, here.

As an addition, I did manage to get Onyx some help through legal assistance, and we should know soon if the courts are able to stave off foreclosure until things are settled. I'm pretty sure the case will go in Onyx' favor and the courts will delay further actions. ^^

*hugs* You're a good friend, Lani and I love you for it. But please tell me you didn't take it from your own mortgage! You've been fighting so hard for so long to keep your own house! *further hugs* Poor, dear, ol' otter...

No, we contacted a housing assistance program in the area where Onyx is and they were able to file papers quickly. Now we just have to wait for the decision. With luck, it'll enter into mediation and all proceedings will be delayed. ^^

And a month and a half or so is all the delay Onyx needs. *hugs* Clever otter!

People don't realize sometimes lawyers' inabilities to get things done in a timely fashion work to your advantage. ^^
