Application Details

Mom's Finally Gonna Get Freedom | Cost to fully fund this application: 418.00 Modest Needs Points

The figure above includes the cost of fulfillment.

I am a 61-year-old female, who is currently receiving SSI and live on a very tight fixed budget. I am asking donors to assist me with the remaining 20-year-old balance that was left on an old housing bill. Since breaking my lease, it has been an absolute nightmare!

Being disabled, people have taken advantage of me and have charged me enormous amounts of rent. Over the last 20-years, I have lived in approximately 50 different households under other peoples rules and living under filthy conditions, which are unhealthy for my physical condition. Just to name a few of my disabilities, I have diabetes mellitus, hypertension, congestive heart failure, lupus, depression, obesity, etc, and I just got out of the hospital for a total knee replacement.

I would benefit greatly if donors would assist me with this bill so that I can live in peace and harmony, alone, with me and my pet. With this balance being paid, it would release monies so that I could finally live more independently, and enjoy my remaining years.

I am getting along in my years, and I really need a place to call 'my own', and a place to call 'my home'. I promise if I get this assistance, I will keep up with all of my bills and never break my lease again. This has been a very moving and emotional experience that I hope nobody ever has to endure. Thank you and God Bless all of you. Thanks again.
