urgent rent assistance for a grad student <3
hi everyone, i am in a tough spot right now. and in need of $180 due to unexpected fees being added to my rent. it was added after i was told my fees would be waived. the apartment complex told me they "miscommunicated," and the fee remains. they will not budge on it.
i've been urgently looking for off campus housing, since i wasn't able to secure off-campus housing (which would've eliminated any issue im having right now).
however, money overall is tight. i have a graduate stipend that would allow me to afford most standard student apartments, but the issue is it doesn't disburse until after my first month of rent is due. so i've been trying to budget as best as i can. i have a part-time job as well, which is somewhat helpful but nowhere near sustainable on its own.
i was able to search for a lease takeover that was affordable enough. i found a lease to take over from someone who gave me a partial discount of $300 on the first month, thankfully. My rent is $990. I have asked for an emergency student loan with the financial aid office at my university to cover $500, and my stipend and scholarships can pay that back. so that would cover $800, and my part-time just can just cover the rest to meet $990. however, as i mentioned earlier, they added that $180 fee back to my balance.
i have tried various options including asking for leniency in paying rent since i have confirmed financial aid on the way (since it's a student apartment) but they won't allow it. the best they've offered is moving in after i receive the finances so my lease and room is secure but i won't receive keys until i have the money, but that would leave weeks without a place to stay. but that would honestly just end up costing more than paying the fees and completely paying the rent.
i have tried numerous other options, for example, the emergency student loan but it only covers so much. i have tried freelancing as a writer and web developer to help, but i've had no luck. i've also, of course, tried explaining the situation to this apartment (as well as about six other before this) and haven't been able to have anything resolved.
i would truly appreciate any help. i really need to pay this off or i will have nowhere to live in time for school which would lead to not even receiving my stipend altogether (my income for the year). it's an unfortunate domino affect.

i am thankful for any help, and thank you for reading this post regardless. if you can't support, i would appreciate a reblog.
i've also attached the charge on my resident portal (with personal information obscured):

How to Emotionally Destroy Readers
✩ Gut-punches are about timing. You don't say “I love you” during the sunset. You say it in the middle of a burning building or right after they stab you.
✩ A single line of dialogue like “you were supposed to come back” hits harder than an entire page of poetic mourning.
✩ Don’t just break their hearts, break their sense of identity. Make them question who they are, what they stand for, and if it was ever worth it (That’s premium pain.)
✩ Let someone be forgiven… but not trusted again. That's the kind of heartbreak that lingers like smoke.
✩ Sometimes the most devastating line is the one they don’t say. Silence is a character too.
✩ Give them a moment of joy. Right before everything falls apart. Hope makes the fall hurt more.
✩ Someone saying “I forgive you” through tears? Powerful. Someone saying “I still love you but I can’t stay”? Absolutely soul-shattering.
✩ If they die, don’t describe the death. Describe the aftermath. The coat left hanging by the door. The mug still on the table. The dog waiting.

fr i need help… me and my mom need help, we got $30 in our bank acc, or lesser. we almost are gonna have our bank empty. maybe asking for help feels impossible for me now, but… i tried getting a job, I did have one but it was temporary and they laid me off quickly because they dont 'need me' anymore. i did 2 interveiws last week, but man our utility bills, cable, and credit expensives are coming this week… and we pawned almost all of our jewlery. you dont have to, but yall can donate or do art commissions with me- but if anyone doesnt want to,,,, please share. sharing is p much all i ask rn . I feel bad for asking again but,,, yeah. the commission info is in my about me and the other post in there.
if commissioning, the password is Halley's Comet... just to clarify if you're a human and not a bot
