I would help, but I’m in SoCal...
Looks like moving from suburban Tulsa.
Wish I could help, but I’m in Florida. I do wish you luck though.
I’m so sorry to hear you’re struggling like this. I do hope you and your family know though compassion of Christ in your life. I might recommend post to the next door app the same post here, as it will all be local in your neighborhood and you’ll find a much more available source of help. I am praying for you and your family and again, I’m really sorry about the loss of your son.
** Ping for one of our DJs who needs help. **
I am very sorry for your tragic loss.
Worst case, it at least sounds as if your landlord isn’t immediately handing your place over to a new tenant and, given all circumstances, could presumably bend a bit if it takes you a few days to marshal your resources.
Wow, I am so sorry, that is absolutely horrific. What was causing his heart to race? An infection? What a nightmare, my condolences. I’m in New York unfortunately. I would ask people in your church/temple for help if you go to either. Do you have any friends/neighbors who can help?
Wow...
Prayers Up FRiend.
Perhaps some looking for a couple guys
Moving thing that might be flexible for

Sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss and your situation, overall.
Are you on the Nextdoor app, for your area?
I see folks reaching out for help, all of the time, in our area....and, the response to help others is always so overwhelming.
I like the suggestion to call your church.....what a wonderful mission for them to have, helping you and your dear family resettle, during this very sad time.
Prayers up, for you, all.
I’m too far away to be of any help. I am truly sorry for your loss and your circumstances and hope things work out.
What terrible news. I am in MA, so physically helping is not possible. I will keep you in our prayers.
So very sorry for the loss of your son. This is a tremendous cross to bear, but with God’s grace, you will make it through your grief.
Consider refusing to move.
If your landlord wants to remove you, he can bring an action in landlord/tenant court. But he will need grounds to do so. The allowable grounds will typically be spelled out in great detail in the wording of applicable statute (look up the law). If you were a tenant in New Jersey instead of Oklahoma, and your landlord merely wanted to renovate your unit but subsequently continue to rent it out, he would most definitely not, solely on that fact pattern, have grounds to evict. He would probably also not have grounds to up your rent beyond a certain point, which point might be a whole lot lower than the point he’s thinking of raising it to.
Check Oklahoma’s applicable eviction statute. You may find that what your landlord is trying to do does not comport with the law.
Also, don’t put up with an illegal lockout. If Oklahoma is like New Jersey, that’s an easy remedy. Just make out the proper affidavit, fill in the blanks on a court-provided complaint form in an Illegal Lockout Packet, and file it promptly with the proper county court. The Court will evaluate your papers, and if you have made out a proper prima facie case, immediately issue an order obliging your landlord to let you right back in.
So sorry for your loss.
If I wasn’t hitched to a job, I’d road trip the 28 hours in a couple days and get you moved, afterwards go visit my boy down south. But I am, and I can’t.
I hope you get a local response and I hope my comment motivates others.
My deepest condolences regarding Andrew.
I’d love to help, but I live in Pennsylvania.
How tragically sad. Our church members pull together in similar situations. Is that possible for you?
You said you live in a house.
Once again, if you were in New Jersey, and you are renting a unit in a multi-unit house, and the owner does not occupy the other unit, landlord-tenant law restricts grounds for eviction.
If its a one unit house or a two unit house in which the landlord occupies the other unit, the restrictions mentioned don’t apply.
FYI, once again check OK law.
I’m in Florida ... but here’s my suggestion (I had a friend who really did this) she called a Christian nonprofit that accepted donated furniture and sold it at a thrift store. She told them her situation and offered to pay what little she had, and they moved her.
Also, prayers for you and your wife... what a horrible loss... may God comfort and hold all of you.
You can arrange 2-3 workers at uhaul. Set up a give send go page and we’ll chip in.
So very sorry for all your trials.
