I had a death in the family over the weekend. My 26 year old cousin was killed in a car crash on her way home from the beach. So, please forgive me, if my response to your crisis is not as is it should be.

You do not need to become homeless. There are several alternatives open to you.

Unless you have already had a judgment entered and a writ of possession entered, you are premature in your assumption that homelessness is unavoidable.

You may feel hopeless. However, until the Lord calls you home, there is always something to be done.

Do not give up! You control your destiny. So you have to take charge.

Your lender does not want your home. It is in the business of making money on money, not of owning real estate. Call and talk to the lender. You may be surprised at alternatives it has for you.

However, be aware that it may not be in your best interests to try to hold onto your home. How much is your home worth? How much do you owe? How much equity do you have?

Once you are able to separate yourself from the emotion of the potential loss, you may find that your life could dramatically improve without the home in which you currently live.

Where could you be living and in what lifestyle, if you were not saddled with the payments to hold onto your home?

Think it over and do not panic. You can come out of this in a better position than you think!

Good luck!

Oh sweetheart if only I could help you. I have been so guilty of doing this I almost got kicked out by my whole family! I had trailers moving in on the bottom of our property! And things are far worse than they were then. The only thing I can do for you is pray and pray, I will. You are such a darling here and I have never even seen your face. But that's the beauty of this website. You can actually 'feel' other people's energy! I know in my heart that the Lord will take care of you and your family! Sometimes it is at the very last possible moment, when you are sure you're a gonner, He comes through! But you must pray also! He must hear from you that you want His help and sure as the sun dawns He will deliver! It will be okay! Just wait and see!

Evidently you didn't take in a stray cat, you took in a LOST cat. How do you know they neglected her? She wasn't in good shape when you found her, but what happened to her? How did she get lost? Did you do anything to try to find the owner? Unless there is more reason to believe that the cat was neglected, I think you need to give her back to the owners. Yes, they could call the police and keeping something that doesn't belong to you is stealing. If you are concerned about neglect, call animal control and make a report and they can investigate. I do think the owners should reimburse you for the medical costs.

Your so cute. Homelessness is going to be so common in the next 10 years you won't notice that people set tents up in city parks.

If you go on the welfare role you get shelter allowances and personal needs money. This gives you enough to have a tent over your head and food for two weeks. The rest of the time you'll be hustling for money and food. Sound fun. Well Johnny you also get 24/7 police harassment and the worst medical care not available. What they don't tell you is if you have no money you will die 25 years before your life expectancy should for your age. Fun uh?

We had that problem, damn mortgage!!! We sold our house and bought a double wide manufactured home, in other words, a trailer. It's nicer, and bigger, than our house was. Lot rent is $400 a month and we have free trash pick-up and free water service. I bought a fridge magnet that says, Trailer Trash and the economy can take a suck of my sweet @ss!!! And, yes, we have taken in people before. We have two rooms we don't use, plus, a bathroom we don't use. So, before you take such drastic measures, $200 will get you half a trailer and half of a two stall garage ♥ Doesn't it make you want to grab a stick and hit something? ♥

I think that hotels are too expensive. Maybe you could rent two rooms on a flat? It will be cheap! Your idea is quite creative by the way. I still think if we are homeless, we continue to work hard. It is better to be living in a home than homeless right?

Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry that you are having these problems. It wasn't too long ago that I watched entire families be put out of their homes. It breaks your heart. I know how scary financial problems are, and even tho I can't offer you a home at the moment, I can offer something better; Prayer. I will start a prayer chain for your family that you will be blessed with financial stability once again. Have faith and be courageous. :)

No one should have to live with the fear of losing their home, job, car or source of income if they are doing all they can to make ends meet. It is getting harder everyday, everything going up. People should be more than willing to lend a hand to those in need. Come on over, we will make room and work on how to make it beneficial for all of us. If you don't mind living in Kansas, you are more than welcome!

Take heart and watch your parents find a solution with local organizations.

The American People have overcome challenges before and we will survive even the Republican Party but...we do need to rid our government of most of them for this to happen.

Get positive and work things out; you can do it.

i don't believe anyone takes in whole stray families...i know i've had random stray single people stay with me before but i don't think i could take in a whole family
