    <title>About to be evicted - please help</title>
    <link>http://www.pledgie.com/campaigns/265</link>
    <description>I'm a nineteen-year-old girl, and I'm in desperate need of help.

I've been living on my own for the past four years (my parents were abusive drug addicts, and I figured I was better off without them and haven't heard from them since moving out). Lately it seems that I just can't keep up with my bills no matter how hard I try. I've tried finding a job, but as a student with absolutely no experience and qualifications, it's proven nearly impossible. I have about $1500 worth of unpaid bills, and as if that weren't enough, I recently received notice from my landlord that if I don't come up with two month's worth of rent ($750) within two weeks, I'll be evicted. I've been homeless before and I don't want to have to experience it again.

I never imagined I'd have to resort to this as I've always believed in being self-sufficient, but I can't see any way out of this and have no family or friends to turn to. If anyone would be willing to donate some money to help get me out of this predicament, I would be grateful. Even the smallest amount would be appreciated and of great help.

God bless you,
Maria</description>
