HELP OUT A FAMILY IN NEED - A sign of the times...

I spotted this on Brittney Gilbert's Eye on Blogs, off Craigslist and thought it worth a share... here is a family who are victims of job loss, a home one day and homeless the next.  Read their post beneath the image below. If you can help the address posted on the top should be good for about 10 days until Craigslist erases it. 

"Two years ago, he was a Chevron fraud agent, paying off a student loan and working toward a teaching credential, he said. The company laid him off and they soon burned through their savings, then lost their Antioch apartment. They wound up in their Mitsubishi Gallant — the couple in front, their two young children sleeping in back. They swapped cans for cash and lay half-awake at night, he said. Police would point them to safer spots...For A.B., his wife and their children, sleeping in their car and now searching for hope from a shelter has lent new meaning to the nuclear family, he said."

I am looking for a place for my family, which is comprised of me, my wife, our two kids: Son, 8, and Daughter, 4. We were both laid off from our jobs, tried to stay above water, and fell underneath, a common path for so many today.
We are now starting to get back on our feet again. Our credit is bad; we have had an eviction from our last place. The savings was depleted as we tried to stay afloat. We just need a break. If you are a landlord, private renter, etc.....that has a place to rent around $800, and is willing to give my family and I a chance, please email the link above.
And if you wondered, yes, I am the one who was interviewed in the Contra Costa Times about homeless families, I am AB, that should be enough to tell you about my situation, if not, please read the article for clarity. Thank you.
