Hello, I’m a 66-year-old facing an uncertain and increasingly difficult future. After a lifetime of hard work, my declining health has left me unable to continue working. I live in an average rent home but it still drains my very limited resources. I am in constant fear of eviction for not having enough to pay rent.
With no remaining savings or assets, I’m turning to you for help through this GoFundMe campaign. My only hope to secure a stable, dignified life where I can visit my children and grandchildren and spend whatever time is left with my family. I’ve worked since I was 14 years old (my parents signed their permission for me to do so) and so many of my later work years were spent working two and often 3 jobs at a time. There was no time for my young family because we needed to survive financially. I was deprived of so much because of the financial pressures. Medical challenges (e.g., aortal aneurysm, “respiratory/pulmonary issues” (I’ve never smoked) and inability to walk more than 5 minutes now due to severe hip issue) an inoperable hernia and the inability to work as I used to, have left me with nothing to fall back on.
The fear of losing my home and being homeless at this age and condition is frightening and depressing. I cannot stand long enough to work at jobs I used to work at. My health issues on a daily basis have been difficult enough to make me think about whatever future I have left. Your support can help change that. I’m humbly ask for as many contributions as possible. I would place any funds into an interest-bearing account that could provide a regular income to supplement my small social security income. If I receive enough donations, I intend on purchasing a mobile home on land of my own to avoid monthly payments.
Every dollar can bring me closer to security and peace, which is something I have never experienced despite long, hard work all of my life. I have NO addictions – I never use alcohol, illicit drugs nor do I gamble. If you can’t donate, sharing my story would mean everything. Thank you for considering giving me a chance to live my remaining years with hope and stability.
