To every one that helped me:
Thank you so very much. I know I thanked everyone on twitter, but thank you again and again. I've gone to court now for the house I've been living in and got lucky. The judge did not hold me responsible for any unpaid money. I have also found a place to live at least temporarily. Its a very small room in a very small duplex that I will be sharing with someone else, but it is a roof and I'm very happy to not be worried anymore. Without all of your help, I wouldn't have been able to do this. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I will never forget the kindness you have shown.

I decided a few months ago that I was going to take a big leap and move to New Jersey from Charlotte in hopes of finding something better. I was working at a bar hosting karaoke and teaching after school programs for elementary schools in Charlotte. Money was always tight and I got tired of not being able to find a more stable job. I heard about a room opening up with @shamelessplug in Jersey and thought it was my meal ticket. It was a great deal. Only $500 a month and jobs on craigslist every day plus tons of pharmaceutical companies in the area that I thought would jump all over my bio degree and 9+ years experience in the pharmacy. Plus, I already made a group of fantastic friends in the area so I knew I wouldn't be alone. I arranged all I had to arrange to move north. Right before I was supposed to move, I got robbed for $800. Instead of backing out of my plan, I borrowed money from friends to make up the difference I needed for rent and food and got up here.
Everything with @shamelessplug and I was fine. We worked well together as roommates and we partied and had our fun. I got two jobs within the first month of moving here. Both teaching. I don't make much money, but it was enough to cover rent and bills. We got a notice a week or two ago that we were being evicted at the end of April because our third roommate had failed to pay rent for quite some time. Now I've only been here three months and I already have to look for another place to live. Unfortunately, $500 a month is extremely rare up here. I have less than a month to find a place to live as well as collecting the security deposit and first month's rent. I was also stuck with an electric bill for almost $900 that is in my name and that I'll probably never see money for since we're all being evicted. Since I've been here, I've had to go to the hospital with no insurance and been left with an $800 bill from them. One of the new tires I bought just before leaving Charlotte is nearly ruined and in need of replacement. Also, my wheel bearings and brakes need to be replaced but I don't have the money to do it. I'm just starting to get used to New Jersey and I really like it here. I'm not ready to come back to North Carolina yet. If I leave now, I'll move back to the same problems I had before with no job market and no hope for income. I probably couldn't even get there since my car isn't up to par. Don't get me wrong, I miss my friends there dearly, but this is a change I desperately needed in my life.
If I don't find a place soon, I'm so set on staying here that I'll go back to living in my car. Again. I would prefer to not have to do that. So here I am, making a call to twitter, asking for some financial help. I have a lot of followers and my followers have tons more followers. If people just paypal me a dollar, I could raise enough money to not be homeless. Anything at all helps. Seriously, if you've got some change left on your paypal account from months ago, send it my way. I appreciate anything that anyone can do.
Thanks twitter,
