So, far we've been Blessed to come up with $1,427 of what the needed $1,665.
We still need $238 bucks by Wednesday (13th) to stop the eviction!
I also had my appointment yesterday to get help with the utility bill, so hopefully we'll get approved for that! God is working everything out! I'm Grateful and extremely Thankful.

Starting Over
Initial Post â 7/29/2025
My name is Qiana. My son and I were homeless in Rock Hill for two years, and by the grace of God, we are still here.
We are in need of help right now with rent and utilities.
So this is what starting over means to me. Starting over in a new place has been one of the most difficult transitions I've ever had to face. Uprooting my life and leaving behind everything familiar was not something I took lightly, but it was necessary for my growth, safety, and peace of mind. While I hoped this move would be the beginning of a better chapter, the reality is this: it has been filled with unexpected financial and emotional challenges.
We need furniture, beds, a vehicle, and I need a job. It has become very emotional.
It's hard to build stability when you're starting with very little. Every day feels like a balancing act between survival and trying to move forward. One of the biggest struggles has been covering the basics, especially utilities and rent. Despite doing everything I can to stay afloat, including seeking work and cutting back on expenses, I find myself falling behind, which has caused a lot of stress because if I don't pay the rent, we're going to be evicted. Back home is where we just came from, so that has been one of the very emotional parts of starting over.
The cost of living in a new area has been higher than I anticipated, and without a solid support system in place yet, it has been hard to catch a break. It's just been a little overwhelming, but I know that God's grace is sufficient for us as well. It's not easy to ask for help, but the truth is I'm in a position where I truly need it, not just for today, but to lay the foundation for a more secured and hopeful future for my family and me.
I'm reaching out now because I believe in the power of community and compassion. Everyone goes through seasons of hardship, and this is mine. With support, whether it's help with rent, keeping the lights on, furniture or employment, even encouragement, I know I can keep pushing forward. I'm determined to rebuild, and every bit of help brings me one step closer to stability and healing in our new beginnings.
I'm determined. I'm asking you guys for whatever you have.
If you know someone with furniture who is willing to deliver it to us, that would be great.
If you know someone who has employment, that would be great too.
With my son starting school, I'm not able to get the things he needs for school: clothes, book bags, shoes, school suppliesâit's just a lot on me.
I'm also disabled and receive disability, but it's not enough to cover everything, and I have been diligently looking for employment since November of 2023. For some reason, I'm not able to really find anything, and I just really need some help right now to get us through August to pay the rent and the utilities.
So anything will do. Thank you for your consideration of helping us, and I really appreciate it.
