Dear Diary,
I don't know what to do. Today at diner, Papa told us some bad news. He just got layed off from his job that barely pays our bills now. Now, the bank said if Papa doesnt come up with $500 in three days, our family is going to get evicted from our house! I don't want that to happen! I saw people's houses get evicted before! All those people's belongings on the street! But Papa doesn't have $500 right now. Well I guess our house is going to be evicted either way.
Love,
Julia
