UPDATE on my horrible situation
I've been as low as the underbelly of a snake for awhile that's gotten so much worse day by day since I'm playing a rigged beat the clock game with the stinking court. My slumlord/scumlord/landloon/Satan's spawn of a beast got an attorney and filed a Complaint against me in the same county court as my appeal but the Complaint doesn't even mention her eviction in district court or my appeal both of which she new of before the Complaint was filed. Not only that, she blames all the damages here on ME! I'm writing the Answer myself though I'm going to need to get no-cost attorney help since I'm not sure how much I should be saying about everything (including VERY interesting things about the scumlord that a couple of particularly fantastic DUer's ferreted out for me!) in the New Matter part or if I should be doing a New Matter with a Counterclaim. I'm familiar with these Answers since I did tons all those years I worked as a legal secretary and paralegal though I never knew a thing about landlord/tenant legal disputes, and all the ones I did were mostly boilerplate or the attorney would dictate what to write on a dictaphone machine.
I also have to make a ton of copies since there's a HUGE amount of exhibits that go with it, and I've now got VERY little money to my name, and I know I'll need to get both color and black ink for my printer to do this. Yesterday I counted out what was in my change jar and was over the moon that I actually have about $35 whole dollars!!! Duer Texasgal was so great and donated money to my paypal account so I can get a bag of chow for Yoshi since he now only has a few days of food left.
I FINALLY got a case worker and met with her for hours yesterday, so I'm feeling much better about things. Together we still have to come up with $1250 by May 5th (just found out from the court that my last day to pay them is the 5th rather than the 6th that I've been thinking for so long because they count 30 days from the day I filed the appeal with the day that I filed - April 6th - as Day #1 and count down 30 days that way - UGH!) I HAVE to pay the court or the appeal that's been at least keeping a roof over my head, keeping Yoshi, and my stuff and also give HER time to dig up every resource she can find to keep helping me to get the hell out of here before I'd have to pay the court again. So, I'm REALLY scared that no matter what we do together we still won't be able to come up with the amount I have to pay the court or my whole life is just over... I lose a roof over my head with a bathroom, I lose Yoshi, and I lose every damn thing I own that I worked like a dog all my adult life for including all those things like personal papers, sentimental things from as far back as my childhood, my Dad's photographs that are almost all the artwork on my walls (my dad passed away in '98 and he was my hero), and on and on.

10. OMG!
I wish I could help you! I am in a similar conundrum--59 years old, and unemployed. I cannot find a job. No one will hire me. I have had to ask for help, and I asked Skinner if I could post my need as you have done, but I haven't heard back from him.
There are so many of us hurting and in need. I try to hold onto my optimism, but it's hard.
If I can proofread or do anything labor wise that could help, please let me know.
I wrote this post to K&R, since that's about all I can do. I hope you get the help you need!
Another beggar,yet smartest of the smart in the wings.
Be proud mongrels.
