257. She did reach out to her family

They definitely aren't close, and if they did anything for her, it wasn't enough to save her from being evicted.

She brought a maintenance complaint against her landlord which caused her to have to put a certain amount of rent in escrow, whereas she thought she wouldn't have to pay rent until all the problems were fixed: this is part of what caused this to happen. She managed to collect enough for the escrow, but, because she was unemployed, she then had to come back here asking for help with rent while she was looking for a job. She couldn't collect enough money because there were naysaying toads sitting on the thread who kept poking holes in her story instead of listening to all the factors involved. It was more difficult for her to move quickly because of her dog. The "dog rescue" places people suggested weren't going to let her have the dog back.

Anyway the job she got didn't earn enough money for her rent. She was evicted. She tried to raise emergency money here to avoid the eviction, but no luck: people said she would just keep coming back here for her rent money. So she was evicted. She managed to find a friend that let her couch surf and this "doggie daycare" that took the dog. It's unclear to me whether she managed to hold on to her job or not while she was being *evicted* and in fear of losing her dog, etc.

At that point another DUer who was in contact with TTW wrote up the situation about how she had had to leave Yoshi in the "doggie daycare" situation, and Yoshi wasn't doing well in it Msanthrope kindly stepped in to lift that one burden from TTW.

Hope that catches you up. If you know of a cheap apartment in the Philadelphia area that takes dogs, I believe TTW is looking.
