I am a 70 year old retired senior who thru no fought of my own am now “homeless”:. Recently, I went home to Ohio, to spend time with my mother before she passed away. Though it was a financial struggle, I am thankful to God I went. There is no words for being with her during her transition.
Upon my return, during the “September /October Storms”, I was assisting displaced families find emergency housing. I am a volunteer “Mental Health Coach” in ministry, who leads others to their needs.
What I do for others, I am now in the same situation. In the midst of this, my pipes burst. From the sewage and mold, I lost everything except some clothing. For 2 months now, I have been homeless living in two different hotels.
Two different churches have helped me, one for 9 days, my church for 5 days. The need is so great, both ministries could not help me any longer.
I have been blessed to be helped very short term from pastors, their ministries, friends and family. All my family are not in my state and do not have the room to take me in.
I have contacted every housing organization I have researched or given to me for follow-up.
Such as Section 8 housing (waiting list) and local emergency rental assistance programs. Due to the winter months, housing help is very limited.
There are no empty shelters that I can stay in for the long term. All contacted, you must be out by morning. I am not in a position to keep moving around! Now, I am without transportation.
The hotel I am in has a daily struggle to gather the money before 11am. They put people out on the street.
*Though I am a woman of faith, I must find immediate stable housing asap. Therefore, I am requesting $20,000.00, I am grateful for whatever help I can receive; to acquire low income for housing food, furniture, kitchen items and clothing. I am a giver and it is very hard for me to ask for anything. I am looking for a hand up, so I can continue to help others as I help myself.*
My biggest concern now, daily, the donations I have received are becoming less and less. I pray 24/7 that God will answer my immediate needs.
It is my prayer your grant can help me in my urgent need. Thank you for your consideration in this serious matter.
