Testimonial
This person has left the following thank you note:
Ive researched the best thank you speeches and words of gratitude and Ive read letters written by appreciative authors who are much better spoken then I am because I really wanted to find the perfect words for thanking you but what i found is there are none. What word describes what its like worrying throwing up because its winter and if my 2 best furry friends are too cold living in my car i ll have to give them up and they re all i have in this wor ld they keep me smiling and getting up having a reason to .. i wouldnt keep them with me if they were cold and shaking and needed a home. that very real possibility has made the minutes of my days so sad i couldnt see myself keeping going if i had to give them up. i wasnt talking much to anyone i kept the tv and radio off cause becoming homeless and friendless during christmas and the new year is pretty hard on the heart - i kept the media away and the memories of past holidays at bay. that dark impossible hopelessness - that barely hanging on - the alone ness with only it getting worse in sight.. went away. in a blink of an eye. because of your helping me a stranger to you my tomorrow is waking up to the alarm getting dressed taking the dogs to the park next to my apartment then dropping them off 'at home' and going on to the job i was able to secure when you helped me from being homeless. Around 5 ill return 'home' and my buddies 'll hear me pull into the parking lot and be ready at the door for me to take them to go play some more. and in alittle while they ll get under the blanket with me and watch some tv and sleep. nice and sound . warm and safe. and we ll wake up to do it again in the morning. Shower here in my home. Curl my hair and make my lunch in my home and pile all the dogs toys back in their bin for the new day while im away from my home for alittle while. and do it again just the same tomorrow. Probably sounds pretty boring to some folks but ive never been so joyful and grateful to stay home as i am now. Did you know you helped me find hope again. and my self worth ? Because of you I believe the worlds not so bad and I want to stay in it. there are no phrases of thanks and gratitude for what your help has meant to me. I hope i was able to convey some of how much it meant to me here in. I wont let you down. I thank God and you for this chance and i plan to pass it on. with all my heart i thank you .
A Medical Emergency Cost Me My Job. Even Though I'm Working Again, I Need Help Keeping My Home!
My Story:
I'm a 57-year-old woman, and I live on my own, but I'm never alone thanks to my two best friends, my little dogs. They're cuddled up beside me as I write this, and they rarely ever leave my side. I've faced a lot of peaks and valleys this past year, but through it all, they've been right there with me.
Last year, on a journey across the country, I had a medical emergency on the side of the road. I was traveling with my dog, Leo, but I woke up in the hospital a few days later after recovering from sepsis, and Leo wasn't there with me. I panicked for a while, but two weeks later, I was able to locate him by phone and got him when I was discharged from the hospital. During that time though, I lost my job, and it took a long time for my health to get back to where it was, and in all honesty, I've never fully recovered physically. Things got so bad that at one point, I was living out of my car. However, I've managed to get back to work since then, and I've been able to keep up with my bills and find a home, but I've had trouble keeping up with my rent due to the gap in employment that I had. I don't have anything to fall back on after using my savings to find a home, so I'm humbly asking for assistance with catching back up on my rent.
Currently, I'm about a month behind, and there's nothing stopping me from being evicted if I can't catch up very soon. I've been homeless before and can't go through that again, and I definitely can't put my dogs through that. This assistance would get me caught up on my rent, and I could take it from there and slowly begin to rebuild my savings. I'll be able to keep my home and keep pushing ahead after a year of seemingly endless hardship. For that, I would be deeply appreciative, and I would like to thank everyone who takes the time to read my story.
