need help to cover moving expenses
hey y'all - my mom and i recently had to move because she was injured last year and she couldn't handle the stairs at our old place anymore. we hired a local moving company who quoted us $2200 for packing, moving, and post-move cleaning to be finished by the 6th. they've since charged us $2950 and only got us partially moved out as of today, the 10th, and they don't have very open availability right now so we had to hire a second company to finish moving our stuff, plus we no longer have anyone lined up for cleaning. the second moving company is going to cost at least $2000, and we had to use our security deposit at our last apartment to cover our last month of rent so we could afford to move, which means we'll have to either hire a cleaning service ourselves or pay for our old landlord to hire one, plus we owe an extra week of rent on our old place since the first moving company didn't get us moved out in the timeframe promised.
this move has tapped out all of our savings and my last student loan disbursement, and i won't be getting another disbursement until the fall. i can only work part-time right now and my mom is on worker's comp, we can't afford the extra expenses this has added up to be. we're exploring some options, but right now we're not where we thought we'd be financially and we're at risk of not being able to make our second month's rent on our new place.
tl;dr my mom and i had to move to accommodate her disability, and it ended up costing more than twice what we were quoted by a moving company. if anyone's able to donate, we could really use some help covering these unexpected expenses. if you're not able to donate, if you could reblog this i would really appreciate that as well!
