I'm Facing Homelessness After an 8-Month Hospitalization & Both of My Brothers Dying!

My Story:

I am a 64-year-old retired educator with disabilities. I contracted COVID after checking in on a 93-year-old neighbor, and it caused me to be put on life support for 34 days before an 8-month-long hospitalization. I lost the ability to walk and couldn't even feed myself.

While recovering from my hospital stay, both of my brothers died within 12 days of one another. I usually have enough income for everything, but since I was the only living family member, my 26-year-old granddaughter and 8-month-old great grandson needed my help. I've had to pay for lodging, airfare, and funerals amongst other things to get our family through this horrible time.

I am asking for help with my rent, so I do not become homeless at my age and after everything I've been through this past year. I will be getting a part-time job in tutoring soon to help me through this, but your assistance will make sure I do not lose my home in the meantime. I will be able to grieve for my brothers and support the children they left behind as they grieve too. Thank you so much for reading and considering me.
