“On December 27th, they were evicted (padlocked) out of their apartment. TRA (Temporary Rental Assistance) was secured for 24 months previously and expired October of 2023 which brought the two-bedroom rent up to full market rate,” Nevin Perkins, of Build More Unity, wrote in the GoFundMe page description.

“With children, and unable to find stable, reliable, and compatible work, the family struggled to meet the new rent costs and were subsequently evicted. They have moved their stationary belongings to a storage unit.”

With the mother of the family, whose identities are being kept anonymous, expecting to give birth in January, they are seeking financial assistance for 90 days.

They are seeking affordable housing in Hudson or Essex Counties, alone with necessities such as diapers, laundry detergent, and food.

Created three days ago, the page has raised $3,444 from 66 donations as of this writing, with an overall goal of $5,000 set.

  1. I’ll b homeless tomorrow because my house is full of mold and my kids are sick. The state will not help us because I have “income” which isn’t even enough for a motel room.

  2. How about move to a cheaper place knowing you can’t afford the rent? Who’s going to compensate owners’ loss? Should they also open a gofundme due to the finance loss during Christmas?

    • Real Talk💯 and I bet they drinking and smoking though. How R they teaching their kids responsibility. I need a engine for my 2019 Kia Sorento and u don’t see me Trying to milk nobody because that’s a me problem💯and I know God will bless me one day to come up with the money2fix it trust me ❤️🙏🫡

  3. Why is she get pregnant knowing they’re poor also knowing a dead line they had a whole year to get act together! How’s 90 days gonna help ? If rent was free for 2 years why didn’t they save 90 days prior ! Why do reward adults who behave like children

  4. Wow welcome to the USA! Immigrants get special treatment, telephones, etc and these citizens ( I’m guessing) are out in street? Why jump to negative conclusions? This country is in rough shape and who knows where we will be tomorrow? Any of us this can happen to so please try to think positive and give them the benefit of doubt! Happy new year!

    • No one has nothing nice to say. Until you find your ass yes in the same fix. Have a little empathy. There but for the grace of God go I ok. Remember this. God bless you guys the family 🙏

    • How R people being negative towards these healthy adults that’s still able to have sex to make kids they can’t afford. R u a black American🤔??I’m a immigrant and I’m not looking for no hand outs from nobody. I’m 🇯🇲 and I came here legally in 1994. Have a bless new year my brother🫡✌️❤️

    • STFU you’re what is wrong with NJ ie America. Who gives a sh$t if its Christmas?. Tell that guy to get the f on your feet , find a 2nd or 3rd job and tell that bitch to close her legs. 2 years isn’t enough time to go to another county where rent is less than half?. They wanna live large eating Chilis?. That $80 or $90 could have paid for essentials… Were doomed…

  5. From the pictures they don’t seem to be struggling they looks to me they eating somewhere that cost money from the amount of plates they have on the table???

    • People are always assuming the worst in people. Any obstacle or situation happens in lives. The picture shows a family eating out but it doesn’t show when and where. Facts are most important. Don’t be apart if the problem be the solution. If you can’t or won’t donate then it is not for us to judge any person or families for whatever reason help us needed. Look at our homelessness most are our Veterans who fought for our country to be free yet they are in the streets in the freezing 🥶 temperatures in the winter and suffering from heat waves in the summer heat sun ☀️.

  6. Exactly!! They needs to WORK!! NO EXCUSES there are jobs out there, people just want hand outs !! I never ever give money, no one ever helped me I bust a&_ for everything
    No way should they get any money.. there was plenty of time to get a job !! Plus use birth control if you can’t afford to support the kids.

  7. You should have paid the rent these people are lazy and I won’t take care of kids that do not belong to me !!! So be a man and get a job!!!! Stop being lazy and your wife should get a job too!! So stop asking people for money you lazy fucks!! People have there own bills to pay without you asking for money!! GET A FUCKING JOB!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 no one slept with that busted looking wife of yours you people are nothing but SCAMMERS!! DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY TO THESE SCAMMERS!!!!

  8. They had 2 years of free rent. The also had another child. Why would I give them a cent. They are adults and they need to deal with the choices they make. Not sure why they are eating out. They should be saving every penny.

  9. No need for negativity leave it in gods hands !!! These landlords are so greedy the government allowed the increase and people are fallen behind it’s a shame however as soon as an individual needs help or can’t afford certain things or rent they don’t help and if they do help they want to know your whole life and back but as soon as you owe something they’ll be knocking on your door or sending you 1000 letters Ridiculous

  10. Avery ur a hundred percent right. Because they’re looking for hand outs. They got time to make babies but no time to find jobs, please make it make sense 💯🫱🏾‍🫲🏽

  11. Family of 4 and one on the way?!? … If you can’t afford your rent then why have more kids?!?
    And, looking in Hudson & Essex counties, it’s expensive to live that close to the city. Maybe consider moving further west or South where it is cheaper to live.
    Can’t keep living high on the hog and having more kids for free. People need to be responsible and live within their means.
    Plus, the picture of them eating out?!? Please, if you are broke who eats out like that?!?
    Call me insensitive but, don’t feel bad for them at all.
    Why I hate fo fund me! Bunch of losers looking for a free handout!
    How about some free advice … Stop having kids you can’t afford and live with in your means!

  12. Rewarding bad behavior seems to be the norm. I worked my whole life to keep a roof over my head, bills paid, groceries purchased and now I’m supposed to use MY money to help them keep making bad choices? No thank you! Let them move in with the Bidens!

  13. Was thinking the same thing!! I am a single mother with embarassing income, but I work and have health insurance and have never asked for a dime. I never even had state assistance. Pull yourselves together, STOP making more mouths to feed and work!

  17. How irresponsible to get pregnant knowing you cannot sustain your family? If you can’t afford to live in NJ, move elsewhere cheaper. Downgrade to a studio if need be but get your act together.

  18. Two years and can’t find a job , I call bullcrap , my husband down sized his business because he can’t get/ find workers – and the cherry on top is prego again. Sad part is the people giving to there go fund me lol .

  19. How about getting off your fat ass and getting a job and supporting your family like a real man. Living on hand outs and now wanting more handouts. Hell no I wouldn’t donate a dime to these people. I have tenants who haven’t paid rent in six months and the continue to give sob stories to the court who keep pushing back dates on my dime! What is this garbage??!! Never again!
