Help Me End My Homeless Journey
Donation protected
Hi:.my name is Shari.
Thank you for stopping by My Page & I truly hope you'll find it in your heart to donate:.any amount:.to help me end My Homeless Journey after you read My Story:..learn what I'm in dire need of & I tell you a lil about Myself.
My Homeless Journey began in November 2011, when I injured my back:.I have a bulging disc:..I had to quit my job which in turn caused me to lose my home of 3 years in January 2012.
I tried staying with friends but that only lasted 6 ½ months & unfortunately we are no longer friends.
With no family & friends willing & able to help:.I found myself living in the woods in a tent in the city of Wilmington, NC for close to 4 months. It was extremely rough & somewhat dangerous situation.
Then, by sheer luck:which doesn't happen often:.I got a part time job in September 2012 with the Mercy Homeless Shelter:..it's a men's only shelter here in Wilmington, NC.
Soon afterwards, a woman offered me a room in her house:.which is where I presently stay. Altho I am truly grateful to her:..I can no longer stay here. I have been here 6 weeks without electricity & the house has become moldy & mildew & is making me sick. For reasons only known to her:.she won't give me the consent to put the electric in my name & with some of the other problems this house has, I can't continue staying here.
So, I plan to move out by the end of the month.
I have no place to go!!! But back into the woods & the tent::I can't live like that again!!! So I am in dire need of a stable quiet safe place to live.
But in order to do that you have to have money & that's something I have very little of.
Altho I work part time, I only make $168 every 2 weeks & that's not even enough to rent a room weekly.
I can't stay at any of the area shelters because I have a 10 year old cat that has been with me thru thick & thin:..she has never abandoned me so I can't do it to her.
I have applied for Disability & a year after my attorney filed the filed the appeal:..I got a Disability Hearing in October 2013 & I will receive a Disability Settlement in November 2013:.at which time I will pay those back who donate $500 or more.
I'm not asking for a Handout:..I need a Handup.
Now, for a lil about myself::
I am a 50 year old SWF with children over 18:..which is why I don't qualify for many of the area's programs for the homeless. I am down to earth:.kind & generous. My Homeless Journey has humbled me & taught me to take nothing for granted. I don't lie:.cheat:.or steal:..I have been known to be brutally honest & unlike most in today's society:.I mean what I say & say what I mean:..I don't judge people by their appearances:.only by their actions. I am a lil eccentric & have some quirks but that's what makes me:me.
I have a 21 year old son who I have recently been reunited with after 13 years apart. Without thinking I asked him to come live with me:..he will be here within the next 3 months.
So you really see the reason I am doing this. I want a home for my long lost son.
Please help me raise $2500/$3000 so I can rent a place for me:my son & my cat for the next 5 months until my Disability Hearing.
If you can help me in other ways:.please email me at [email redacted].
Thank you for taking the time to read My Story & your donation:.when I reach my goal, I will post pictures.
