RENTON, Wash. -- Lately it's been headache after headache for Danielle Gentry.

Gentry is a single mom who is recovering from brain surgery. She's also just been served with an eviction letter from her landlord. The terrible combination of medical issues and money problems has left her wondering how much more she and her family will have to endure before things start looking up again.

"There's no hope," said Gentry, who underwent surgery for brain aneurysm.

"I take care of my mom, my son and myself, and how am I supposed to do that like this, with an eviction notice?" she said.

Gentry said it's not clear where her family will go. The only thing that is clear is the fact that they have to go. Gentry owes two months' rent, but isn't yet healthy enough to return to work. Her 16-year-old son has already begun boxing up their belongings.

"I'm sad and numb because there's nothing I can do to make money like everybody else, and I wish I could," said Gentry.

The single mom admits she was often late paying rent this past year, frequently turning to unemployment and her mother's social security to cover bills. Even her old dad helped as much as he could.

"I have nothing. At the very end of everything, I have nothing," said father, Al Gentry.

Gentry has a job waiting for her as an ultrasound technician. She can start as soon as she heals but until then, she can only hope for the best.

"I'm scared I'll go in a home and that somebody will take my son away," she said.

KOMO News contacted Gentry's landlord at Montclair Heights Apartments to see if they could give Gentry a break on her rent. The manager said he's bound by fair housing rules and regulations to treat all tenants equally and must move forward with the eviction. The King County Sheriff's Office is expected to get involved next week.

KOMO News put Gentry in touch with Common Ground, a tenant advocacy group which is now providing Gentry with some advice that might buy her some time to find an alternative to eviction and also to recover.

Gentry said she has also made an appointment to try to receive disability payments, but that may still be weeks away while she could be thrown out any day now.
