I don't care if we get kicked off Elizabeth & I need help by noon or we will be on the street

We have worked through our financial problems and can start an emergency funds and savings in June

Elizabeth's Social Security will come on Friday the 23rd. Mine will come on the  1st and the third. However, we have one hurdle we need either $355 today to pay for the week here at   InTown Suites or $150 to pay until Monday at noon to extend our time to work this out

We will repay when Elizabeth's Social Security is deposited on Paypal around 1:30 pm on Friday the 23rd 

Better to be kicked off Zazzle then to be out on the street and not survive

[MarilynR]

If those amounts are too much, small amounts will add up. I will post to stop people from sending if anyone sends in the first place. Keep the email address in case you need help in the future 

[MarilynR]

Will somebody please help? We have been with Zazzle since 2010 and I'm throwing all that away out of desperation. Even though we probably won't be here, you will definitely be able to report on Friday that you will be paid back.

[MarilynR]

Will somebody please help us? You can check my Twitter and Facebook pages. I have been asking, begging, and groveling  publicly for the last couple of days. 

[MarilynR]

This is two human lives. Even if they don't kick us off I will probably leave out of embarrassment even if we are able to pay for the room or survive being on the street,  If we get help you will be repaid on Friday the r.

We are 71 and 73 with no car. This is not the way we have lived our lives to this point.

[MarilynR]

Thank you, you know who you are.  It will not be forgotten. We are paid until noon on Monday which will give us more time to work out  the other four days

[ElizabethR]

I tried to find you on Zazzle so we can promote you. email Marilyn at the email above. We are getting a good number of looks with our Benable lists. Maybe you can be the one Zazzle store we promote on Benable.  Here is our Benable link.

[MarilynR]

Before Zazzle kicks us off or takes this down. We can still use help with the four days from noon on Monday until noon on Friday.  The weekly rate comes out to $50 a night. The daily rate is $77 a night  we need $308 to get through until Friday. We can't get into an apartment because they want your income to be 3 x the rent and we receive a little less than that. However, since we have worked this long and gotten to a little above an even keel, we expect to find the right combination of things to make the sky our limt. So anybody who helps us should keep the above email, as soon as we can it will be just ask and the answer is yes.

📢 Short-Term Loan Needed – One Blog Content Package Available in Return

My sister Elizabeth and I have been living in an extended-stay hotel in Columbus for several years due to income and credit requirements that have kept us out of traditional housing. After years of stability here, we’re finally seeing possible paths forward—we’ve applied to a new senior housing development and found a few studio apartments in our budget.

We expected to move by the end of May, but we’re still waiting to hear back.

Right now, we need a short-term loan to help us stay in our hotel room safely through Friday, May 23rd at 1:30 PM, when Elizabeth's Social Security payment will be available, and we’ll repay every loan in full.

Here’s the breakdown:

🔹 One night = $80 loan (includes fees and taxes)

🔹 Full week = $379 loan (the most cost-effective option)

📬 Send loans to HomeArtsContentandCopywriting@gmail.com

📆 Repayment will be made on Friday, May 23rd, around 1:30 PM ET.

We’re reaching out to friends, colleagues, and fellow creatives—and we’re offering something of value in return to the person or group who covers the full week:

✨ Exclusive Offer: $1,800 Blog Content Package for $379 Loan

(One package only)

As a thank-you for covering the full $379 (as a loan), we’re offering one high-value content package for a small business, solopreneur, or Zazzle seller:

✅ 4 short-form blog posts (each tailored to your brand or niche)

✅ A 3-month blog editorial calendar

✅ Total value: $1,800 (based on my Home Arts Content & Copywriting rates)

This is ideal for:

Building SEO and traffic for your Zazzle shop or small business site

Establishing trust and authority in your field

Creating a content foundation that keeps working for you all summer

If more than one person contributes to cover the full $379, they’ll need to decide how to divide the blog posts and calendar among themselves.

We’re so grateful to the kind Zazzler who already covered part of our stay. Ok gift gave us time to organize this offer and avoid panic. Now we just need four more nights—or one full-week loan—to make it to Friday.

Thank you for reading, for sharing, and for standing by us. 💛

We are still stressing pretty badly.

[MarilynR]

Never think that old friends will help you or I have managed to make the wrong friends. I'm sorry but I have to let this out somewhere.  A couple days ago, a friend from high school contacted me. I thought it was because of the requests I made on Facebook for help. I started talking about it , she cut me off, and said good luck. Believe it or not, it just happened again with one of my three best friends from high school. I really don't need that hurt when I'm trying to solve this problem. I wouldn't do that to them or anyone but there has to be a reflection on you if two of your old friends are like that. BTW, I can show anybody who wants to see it the short conversation.

We at least need $20 to take a cab to one of my other best friends house tomorrow if we get kicked out. She is a retired nurse but she doesn't invite you in and she doesn't have a phone or email.

[Connie]

I know every state is different, but does your state have an "Office for the Aging" that you can contact so they can help you find housing? They also help with stuff like financial assistance.

[MarilynR]

Yes Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging  rent and deposit on an apartments. no money given for hotels even though it is becoming a trend. They can set us up with furniture from the furniture bank and moving. No shelter or temporary housing even for seniors.  We moved into a roommate situation and it cost us $800 to move our stuff in. We had to leave without it.

Several of the places told us about low income senior housing opening soon in south Columbus -- Fieldstone Cottages. Take a look they would be great. No application fee No deposit

20     1 BR units $469 month

20     2 BR units $569 month

Our applications are showing online with no rejection

We are watching roommates.com and roomster.com. You have to be careful. Some offers are scams but if you take too long somebody else got them. We have been try to feed the idea of  anybody in Westerville opening up to roommates to help them pay their bills

delete

[MarilynR]

You didn't need to delete whatever you were probably saying about me or our situation. I think that if people are drowning or are in physical danger, the will holler for help and if bystanders say no, just watch, walk away, or tell the person to shut up, the person in troublé  has the right to be hurt and to vent.

[idraw]

I deleted because someone else had just posted the same info before me.

[MarilynR]

$80 from one or more people would get us one day closer to the 23rd. There has to be one person in my or Elizabeth's class that hasn't become Ebenezer Scrooge and it is a loan to be paid back within days.

[MarilynR · Accepted solution]

Attention Zazzle

I have deleted the products, stores, and collections in my account. We have been here since 2010 if they had done us any good, we would have more money especially for the time we have put in. Elizabeth isn't quit ready to give up. Three stores would not delete.

[Connie]

Why would you delete your products and stores? Even if you aren't getting as much as you would like, every little bit helps when you are hurting financially; and it's passive income so you can just ignore your stores for a while until you get settled.

[MarilynR]

We may not get settled. We will keep Elizabeth's stores for now we think but the only time we intend to spend with them for now is to take things out of hiding unless we come up with something we think is a super idea. If we don't end up lost out on the street in the next four days until Elizabeth's Social Security hits the bank on the 23rd. If we don't make it through that store is one less thing hanging around on the internet with our name on it.  The calendar  didn't work out with the money this month. I have asked, begged, and groveled with  three people, and asked our "former" cousin who was between us in school who we haven't talked to since  96 along with the rest of our father's family, the one who pulled my chair away from me when we were standing in church choir practice, the one whose father told my father (his  brother, " I can't wait to get my daughter married and my mother buried. I was 41 before I realized it was a surface family. and I got hurt then but we are so much more hurt and in disbelief now. Nobody owes you anything but you think that if you ask, beg, grovel, and embarrass yourself to survive that you could get so the help you need to keep you safe. We were relaßted master poor-mouthers. I can tell you that the three ex-friends who said they couldn't help were lying. I have already told one person that I am no longer a member of the Westerville class of 71. Like I said nobodyowes you anything, but when you are so desperate to protect your sister and yourself for just a few days and except for one person, you are .

🚨URGENT: 4 Days Left – Need Short-Term Loan to Stay Safe Until May 23

Elizabeth and I have lived in an extended-stay hotel in Columbus for over seven years. We’re safe here, able to work, and waiting to hear back about subsidized housing and studio apartments that just opened up.

But our room is only paid through Monday, May 19 at noon.

We need a short-term loan to stay through Friday, May 23 at 1:30 PM, when Elizabeth's Social Security payment arrives and we can repay every loan in full.

Here’s how you can help:

🔹One night = $80 loan

🔹Full week = $379 loan

📬Send loans to HomeArtsContentandCopywriting@gmail.com

📆Repayment will be made on Friday, May 23rd, around 1:30 PM ET.
