I'm 73 & Recently Escaped Homelessness. I Can't Afford a Moving Truck to Get to My New Home!
My Story:
I am 73 years young and live alone. I do yoga, Pilates, and long walks every day. I was made homeless after leaving my abuser and spent two months in a homeless camp. It was emotionally devastating to me. Never in my life have I been in that position. Thankfully, I have since found housing.
However, it has been six months since I have seen any of my belongings, as I could not afford to move all of them from Washington to Oregon. I will be working part-time to supplement my social security income until I transfer into a more lucrative position at the new company I'm hired at. Until then, my social security and little employment income will not be enough to cover the cost to move my stuff to my new apartment, especially because it is several states away. I am paying a hefty storage bill right now to hold all my belongings, which is a barrier to affording the movers.
I am asking for this one-time assistance paying movers to bring my belongings to me. I have to pay for the truck as well as movers to load the truck. I would have nothing left if I paid for this, and I want to be able to pay my rent. Thank you for anything you are willing to give, so I can begin the next chapter of my life.
