Teresa's Housing Fund

Donation protected
This is my friend Teresa.  We've been friends for many years, and I have watched her struggle to keep body and soul together for most of that time. Recently she was approved for housing through the Calvert County Housing Authority. This is a wonderful blessing as she has not ever had her own, stable housing. Always renting a room here or there, staying with various friends and even a couple periods of homelessness. Teresa does have a job and works close to full-time hours, but her cashier's job at Walmart does not provide a living wage, without the help of things like subsidized housing. The Housing Authority will cover most of her rent, and she can afford the balance, as well as her utilities and food, even on her Walmart salary. The only hurdle is the security deposit. The Housing Authority does not provide help with this. Her's is $900.00. She applied for help through our church (Emmanuel), and several others almost two weeks ago, and just found out the churches are unable to help her. It has been a tough year in our area, and they have helped many people, there just aren't any funds left available. Teresa was supposed to move into a one bedroom apartment in the Silverwood complex Saturday November 1st. Her housing vouchers will be ready then, and she has her portion of the rent and utility fees saved, and we are now appealing to friends and family for help. If you are able to help by donating any amount, no matter how small, it will be a great blessing, as every penny adds up. Please private message me if you need more information, or donate here. Above all else, please keep Teresa in your prayers, this is an extremely stressful time for her.

Thank you for reading and considering my request,

Donna Smith— feeling hopeful.
