Funding sources?

Question

Okay....let me rephrase my question.
1. My husband has not left for basic training yet.
I just want to know if anybody can provide any resources for emergency rent aid in PA. That's all. I'm not begging for money anymore. I'm not asking you to send me money anymore. I just would like to know of resources so I can get rental assistance in PA. Thank you.
PS. Being sarcastic is fine. But if you suggest I sell you my baby, I will report you.

Answer 1

If you contact his recruiter they can put you in touch with the Department of Defense's family/civil resource dept. Also the American Red Cross also provides assistance to military families.

And if that doesn't work, you can contact your congressman and they can expedite you through your states assistance dept.

Good Luck

Answer 2

I am sorry to hear you are having money problems. I didn't see your previous question. Can your husband get a temp job until he leaves for basic training?

Do you have a budget? Can you sell things on ebay or craigslist to help come up with the rent money.

Do you have a church you belong to? Maybe speak to the pastor for assistance?

I don't know if this link is helpful or not http://www.caring4u.org/RentAssistance.html
