I am a native New Yorker presently living in ABQ New Mexico I am also paying $168.00 a month to a storage facility in Queens, New York that is holding all of my personal belongings for me. Four years ago in 2015 I had to fly out here from New York to ABQ New Mexico to take care of my mother as she had stage 4 cancer. My mother died a year ago she was 85 years old and a widow for 20 years. I also had a sister who had cancer I had to take care of her also she died of cancer as of last year. I devoted four years of my life taking care of my mother and sister. Presently I am still living in ABQ, NM and my other sister helped my to acquire a studio apartment in 909 Apartments on Tijeras Avenue NW ABQ NM 87102 ( Apt. # 323 ).

I am 51 in 2 months and disabled (one arm and one leg)... I have been living in Gallup NM since approximately March 15th 2019. I just moved into my new apartment on March 17th 2020 and because of the Covid-19 Pandemic I have been laid off. I won't be able to pay my internet bill on May 6th of $53 and I would like to know if you can help in any way?
Single father of two children. I had a section 8 brochure stripped from us due to their lack of professionalism and concern for family's in this pandemic. We are currently facing eviction and nobody in this city is helping us. If this state recently acquired 1 million dollars for eviction assistance and we are here looking for help, where are the funds going to?
