Hey people. Months ago I was accepted into the rapid rehousing program through Helpmate. They are willing to pay rent and utilities for a period of one year as long as it's in buncombe county and within their budget of 1549$. I'm being denied by alot of apartment complexes because I do not qualify on my own. But just to clarify, it is direct payment, it is NOT any sort of voucher. Please pm me if you are a property owner willing to work with this or if you have any kind of lead for me to explore. TIA 😊 🙏 The only tenants would be me and my 7 year old. No pets is okay because I dont have any with me but I wouldn't mind a cat

Hello. I'm not sure if you can help me but I've exhausted all other resources. I've contacted many, many churches and organizations across WNC. I'm a resident at my sister's place(DV Shelter) in Marshall and this isn't my first time here. I've been here several times over the last 10 years because of the same abuser that I share a child with. In January 2025, after getting into an argument with my abuser and walking near Patton Avenue late at night, I got into a car with a stranger who kidnapped and sexually assaulted me for 5 months until I was able to safely get away. My biggest struggle right now is lack of transportation. Living in Marshall with no vehicle and trying to get a job is almost impossible and while I did get to spend time with my daughter this summer, we were just stuck at the shelter for the most part and unable to go out. I'm grateful for time with her but I feel guilt and shame for not being able to do more with her. And once school starts back I'll go back to only getting her on the weekends, if I'm lucky. If I had a car though, I could maintain our one week on one week off schedule that we've had throughout the summer months because I could get her back and forth to school. As far as employment, I have a pending claim for disability on a mental health basis due to the PTSD from the kidnapping. But if I had a vehicle, I could at least door dash to support myself somewhat, I have an active dasher account, but no car. Please if anyone has a cheap beater that runs I have a few hundred saved and maybe we could work something out on the rest, regular payments. I can't go to a dealership with my beat up credit and unemployed...and I can't get a job or make any income without one. I know i sound desperate, because I am. But i hope not to offend anyone, I know everyone struggles and I'm not special. Just a fellow human who could really use a helping hand. I hope whoever this reaches stays blessed & protected. TIA!
