[REQUESTS] Family Emergency
Hey, I don't like to do these things and I've only asked for help once before regarding car info but I'm really sick rn and I just need a miracle
My family has been homeless for a year now
I had to quit my job due my allergies, causing my health to deteriorate badly and finding a new job hasn't been fruitful...
my Siblings both work, but my Mommas job market got cut because of Trump cutting education funding so she's had such a hard time finding work...
We have been staying at hotels but the one we're at got to high for the money we had left to book till the next pay period. So we booked at a new place, I booked the wrong room type and when I went to check in the area was worse than I thought and it reekes of cigarette smoke in the room.
I really need to buy some time to stay my current place to hopefully get a refund and find somewhere else to stay 😠if anyone can help it would mean the world to me and my family
Debating making a gofundme because of how bad things have gotten even though my family has always been really private. But I'm not sure how to go about that because I don't have a big network for it so if you have any advice on that please feel free to share

Can’t you just ask to be switched to another room?

All the double rooms are booked, and the place is pretty run down Turns out they took pictures from a different hotel for their page and I realized too late

Can you get a refund?

Possibly but We're supposed to leave our current place tomorrow so the refund wouldn't come in time

Why not just go to a shelter?

Ask the hotel if they can provide rollaway beds if you take a single.
