Hi @MissGremlin how are things over there?

@NightFury really not ok (I'm safe for now), i just got my lease extension. I'm freaking out and I'm going to be homeless. They are putting it up by $70pw to $500pw. I can't cover it, i just can't 😞.

That's a pretty big rent increase @MissGremlin I can hear how anxious you are about being able to afford it. I can see you're thinking worse case scenario of being made homeless and that is really tough.

It's horrible when that fear creeps in, and you have to face uncertainty over your living situation.

Oh, @MissGremlin It's huge and I can totally understand the fear! It may be the worst-case scenario, but it would be my first thought too! The increase is ridiculous!! I'm sorry you've got this to deal with this as well! 🥹💜

@MissGremlin just came by to say hi and see how you are. See your rent is increasing - how stressful! 😰 That's a really large percentage increase in one hit! Have they said why it has gone up so much so suddenly?

Are you in a private rental? (as opposed to a government one or a community-program-reduced-rent one?)

I wonder if there are any community orgs that can help you by saving money in other expenses, so you can prioritise the rent? I know my local YWCA have some supports for people to provide food and clothing, so that people can put more of their money towards rent. Even if YWCA in your area doesn't have the equivalent, there may be other Orgs who can help instead?

Sitting with you in it. I know how stressful it can feel and how anxiety can easily take hold and catastrophise.

@MissGremlin oh sweetheart, that is awful. I hope you find a solution, I'll be praying in earnest for you. Hugs and love xoxo

Thankyou @ENKELI sweetheart ❤️. It's a really scary time.

Hi @MissGremlin thinking of you, my friend.

Hello @NightFury my sweet, thankyou ❤️.

How's things for you sweet?

I've not long gotten home from work @MissGremlin so I'm pretty tired.
