Another Chance?
They had a decent income with monthly government checks. No one would rent to them. Do I take that chance?
Well, I did.
That was three months ago. I have yet to receive any money of theirs. The first month because of the address change, the check for the kids from the government was rerouted. So, they went and got partial help from the county. She begged me to let them stay. Next month the checks would be there and they would get caught up. She assured me.
Than comes September. Oh yes, the money orders are in the mail, rent plus some. Two days go by, nothing comes. Unbelievably the truck gets stolen and the money orders were still in the truck. Grandma never mailed them. Grandma didn't even fill them out. Like cash sitting there for the taking. (Looking back, I bet grandma kept the money orders and spent all of it)
But hey, trust us. Next month will be different. PlEASE
It is now next month. I personally stopped to pick up their rent this time. Grandpa looked at me with a big smile. I gotcha. You will be happy tomorrow when the mail comes. I said, "are you sure? Were they filled out this time? Were they actually dropped in a mail box?"
Oh yeah
Yesterday Grandma wanted to talk to me. Oh, I knew just what was coming. She pulled the money out of the account but instead of getting money orders for the rent, she spent it all. Every penny in a days time.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was so upset. A grown woman with two babies to take care of and spends all of their money on....what?
The begging continued. She is getting counseling. She wanted me to be in charge of her bank cards. She wants me to come on the first each month, take her to the bank so she can withdraw the money and hand it directly over to me
Seriously, how do people get to this point?
I can not believe I am giving them another chance
