Hello — I’m Justin.
I am a 58-year-old disabled guy, a title that carries with it not just my age or identity, but the rich tapestry of experiences that have lead me to this moment in my life. For many years, I have been living with a severe chronic neurological headache condition that makes my reality in an urban environment both challenging and fraught with medical and emotional pitfalls. It has not been an easy journey, marked as it has been by years of uncertainty regarding my housing situation, the frequent distress stemming from medical emergencies related to noise and other environmental sensitivities, and the challenges of surviving on a limited, meager long-term disability income for over a decade. I have always been resilient, but now, I find myself reaching out for assistance in a way that feels both vulnerable but absolutely necessary. I’m afraid we will end up homeless given rising costs of living for rent, food, etc.
My dream is to purchase a modest eco-home situated in a serene rural setting. I envision a tranquil, off-grid-ready sanctuary that not only helps me to age more peacefully but also allows me to do so alongside my three cherished senior rescue dogs – among them is a devoted blind diabetic miniature schnauzer who requires daily insulin injections, special dietary needs, and diligent round-the-clock care. Providing this nurturing environment is crucial for both my well-being and that of my beloved pets. An animal rescue sanctuary too, for senior and or disabled dogs I’m thinking.
Recently, I discovered a property in Douglas City, CA, nestled next to the breathtaking Trinity National Forest. This lush location boasts nature’s serene beauty and encompasses nearly everything I need to ensure a stable life:
- Expanses of tranquil, wooded land where I can explore the wonders of nature, breathe fresh air, and find solace.
- A set-up for solar energy, a backup generator, a well, a septic system, and a wood stove; amenities essential for an off-grid lifestyle.
- A garage and dedicated fencing that provide a secure environment for my dogs to roam and play safely.
- All of this enveloped in serenity, silence, and that precious space we all need to breathe and thrive.
Although the property is mostly move-in ready, it still requires some important repairs and enhancements to guarantee its long-term sustainability and comfort. My aspiration is to raise sufficient funds not only for the crucial home purchase but also to prepay 3 to 5 years of property taxes, insurance, and essential maintenance.
With this newfound security, I could finally experience the rest I’ve long been denied due to the lingering fears of eviction or homelessness, stemming from my fixed long-term disability income. Additionally, with the rising exorbitant cost of living across the United States, this stability is more vital than ever.
Upon reaching the age of 62 in just a few short years, I anticipate qualifying for a reverse mortgage. This financial avenue could provide me with supplementary income in retirement while ensuring the home will pass back to the lender upon my death. To me, this represents a fitting and dignified exit strategy, especially since I have no heirs to take responsibility for the home after I am gone.
I want to clarify that I am not running a business nor am I offering various perks or services. Instead, I am simply appealing for help — to co-create a life deeply rooted in tranquility, safety, and a sense of stewardship.
Your compassionate and generous donation will support me in the following impactful ways:
- Acquiring the home (or a comparable property), enabling me to secure a foundational place (approximately $400,000).
- Conducting necessary repairs and upgrades such as roofing, insulation, and fencing to protect and enhance our quality of life.
- Prepaying for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance for a period of 3 to 5 years, providing earnest peace of mind.
- Providing a lasting haven for myself and my beloved dogs, ensuring we share this sanctuary together.
This is a singular request, a last-ditch effort to achieve peace and security for myself and my aging, beloved pets.
