Help Disabled Veteran Avlon & Her Teenage Daughter Reunite – Urgent Need for a Home to Qualify for Liver Transplant
Hello, my name is Avlon. I am a disabled female veteran and a single mother to a teenage daughter. I am humbly asking for help during the most difficult time of our lives.
I am a disabled female veteran living with PTSD, depression, and anxiety.
- I need to be placed on the liver transplant list due to long‑term damage from severe pancreatitis, not alcohol use.
- I am currently in a nursing home/rehab facility, about 2 hours away from my family, because I am too weak and I do not have a home to return to.
- To qualify for the liver transplant list and receive palliative care, VA in‑home care, and county IHSS services, I must first have a stable home address.
- My teenage daughter has been in therapy for years and struggles with PTSD, depression, and anxiety after being abused by her father while I was hospitalized.
- We still have nightmares of him “finding us” and “killing us,” based on threats he made. Even with therapy, those fears still linger.
- I am asking for help with:
- First month’s rent, last month’s rent, and a security deposit for a small home
- Moving costs and storage fees
- Basic household start‑up supplies (bed, basic furniture, kitchen items, cleaning supplies, etc.)
- My out‑of‑date vehicle registration, so I can get to appointments and see my daughter
- Help for my daughter to get her driver’s license, so she can be more independent and able to visit me
- My goal is to raise around $8,000 to cover these needs.

About ten years ago, my life changed completely. I became very sick with severe pancreatitis and spent about one full year in the hospital. I almost died. The damage from that illness has now led to liver failure, and I need to get onto the liver transplant list to have a chance at surviving.
My condition is not from drinking or alcohol use. It is the result of that pancreatitis and the long‑term complications from it.
While I was in the hospital back then, my daughter was only about 5½ to 6½ years old. When I finally came home after that year, she told me that her father had been molesting her while I was hospitalized.
I left him immediately—the same day she told me. I reported him to the police, filed for a restraining order, and then filed for divorce. Over the years, he violated the restraining order multiple times, but I fought back each time. I eventually secured a permanent restraining order for life, and I was able to get my daughter’s last name changed so she no longer has to carry his name.
My daughter has been in therapy ever since, and she is still in therapy today. She struggles with PTSD, depression, and anxiety, just like I do. We both still wake up from nightmares of him “finding us” and “killing us,” because those were the threats he used to make. Therapy has helped, but the fear and trauma are still very real.
Today, I am in a nursing home/rehab facility, trying to get stronger with physical therapy so I can qualify for a liver transplant. The only thing keeping me from going home is that I have no home to go to. I am about two hours away from my daughter and my elderly mother. They both call me crying, telling me how much they miss me. It breaks my heart that my daughter, after everything she has been through, can’t even have her mom nearby.
To qualify for the liver transplant list, and to receive palliative care, VA in‑home care, and IHSS (In‑Home Supportive Services) from the county, I need a safe, stable place to live. Right now, that is the biggest barrier between me and the medical care that could save my life.
I am humbly asking for help to:
- Secure housing: first month’s rent, last month’s rent, and a security deposit for a small, safe place for me to live
- Cover moving and storage costs so I can bring my belongings out of storage
- Get basic household supplies so my home is livable (a bed, basic furniture, kitchen items, bathroom items, cleaning supplies, etc.)
- Fix my vehicle registration, which is out of date, so I can use my car for medical appointments and to see my family
- Help my teenage daughter get her driver’s license, giving her some independence and a way to come see me more easily
My goal is to raise about $8,000 to cover these needs and finally have a safe place to call home, so I can:
- Get onto the liver transplant list
- Receive the in‑home care I qualify for
- Reunite with my teenage daughter and elderly mother, instead of being two hours away in a facility
I am not asking for luxury—just a basic, stable home, a chance to get lifesaving medical care, and the ability to be a present mother to my daughter during the years I still have.
If you are able to help in any way—large or small—it would mean more than I can express. Even sharing my story is a form of help.
