Brianni Bonner, a 23-year-old single mother working to raise her 4-year-old son in Dallas, came back to her apartment after work on Saturday and found that her locks had been changed and her belongings were thrown in the dumpster.

“The maintenance man pulls up, and tells me I’m going to go to jail because it’s against the law for me to get into my apartment,” Bonner told WFAA. 

The single mother, who works at Walmart, was then told by management that the eviction was a mistake.

"They meant to evict the apartment underneath me, but they evicted me by accident,” the Dallas resident, who recently moved from Chicago, said.

The mother said management attempted to make up for the error but the effort felt like an even bigger insult for the tenant.

“She told me, all they would be able to do for me is to give me a $200 visa debit card. It was definitely a slap in the face,” Bonner said.

Along with her son's teddy bears, the mother found her medication for PTSD and anxiety in the trash. 

“I can’t even explain to you the depression it’s caused,” she said. “I feel like everything was taken from me. It doesn’t feel like home anymore."

Now back in her apartment, the 23-year-old has launched a fundraising campaign online to at least buy toys and other necessities for her son.

"My apartment complex told me that they had trashed my things by mistake, they meant to trash the apartment under mines, but did mines by mistake," she wrote. "This is so heartless and I can't believe this had to happen to us. I came here to change my life. My son and I are 13 hours away from our family and now we have NOTHING left. I have to start over again and honestly anything would help. Please help us."

On Wednesday, a federal judge struck down the CDC's nationwide moratorium on evictions, Reuters reported. The judge, however, agreed to put a temporary hold on her ruling as the government attempts to reverse the decision on appeal.

The Justice Department, which sought an emergency order to put the decision on hold, said "evictions exacerbate the spread of COVID-19, which has already killed more than half a million Americans, and the harm to the public that would result from unchecked evictions cannot be undone."
