“Dear Steve,
I currently owe $1,465 for rent cause I lost my job and now its in collections an my sister wants me and my 2 year old daughter out. How can I get help paying it I’m a full time student in college?
Danielle”
Steve’s Answer:
Dear Danielle,
It sounds like you’ll need to not be a full time student in college and try to find a job to pay for a place for you and your daughter to safely stay. Without a job I’m not sure how you can afford school supplies or to properly feed and care for your little girl.
Without income or additional income you will probably need to check with your local county government for homeless shelters that will take you in. There are many students in college that live in shelters or who are homeless. It is a sad situation but it does happen. Also, check with your student affairs office and ask them for help.

Missy,
It is one of many places and sites landlords could use to list renter information of people that don’t pay.

steve,
the advice u gave that danielle girl that cant pay her rent and is a full time student was completely bullshit. how can u tell someone they shouldn’t be in college when they are trying to better themselves by getting a better job so they dont have that same problem. uve obviously never had problems being a young student.

And this is why I hate the United States; we’re the only industrialized nation on earth that allows the “children of tomorrow” to go completely homeless. why? we just do. it’s shitty but welcome to the USA.
