Michelle Bennett is trying to keep life inside her Waldorf, Maryland, home as normal as possible during Covid-19. Three of her four daughters are learning remotely, while she makes them three meals a day. But outside, the relentless threat of eviction keeps knocking.
She lost her job as a receptionist at a doctors office in March and hasn t been able to collect unemployment because she is waiting to be approved for disability. It s by the grace of a court-ordered stay that she can remain in her home while she fights the eviction through appeal. I m basically living in fear because I don t want to be homeless, said Michelle Bennett. I don t really have anywhere to go without an income during the pandemic.
