A New Start for My Mom
Donation protected
My mom has not had an easy life. And we've not had an easy relationship. But she needs help, and I can't afford what she needs help with.
On Memorial Day weekend, her husband left to go to Reno without telling her. Because of his progessing dimensia/alzheimers, he ended up driving East instead of West to go home and was picked up in Wyoming going the wrong way on the freeway. After a medical hold, his daughter's step-dad went to retrieve him, leaving his truck in WY. He's now living with them, and they're very hostile and combative, and has no contact with my mom.
This has left my mom with nothing at 60 years old. His pension and Social Security was their sole income. She has made the most lemonade out of this lemon that she can - getting herself some food stamps, some temporary aid, and filing for disability and her own Social Security, which won't start for 6-8 months. She is trying to find a lawyer that will help her to file for divorce and alimony but with no money, it's an uphill battle too. She has been living with my cousin, but unfortunately her husband was paying 100% of their rent, so they've been in arrears with the landlady.
They have finally been served eviction papers and must vacate the house by August 31st. My mom has enough money to rent a storage shed and moving truck to get the stuff moved, but then will have nowhere to go. She lives 90 minutes away from me, and has no car, and I don't have anywhere for her to stay.
I'm trying the last thing I can think of to raise enough money to set her up with a rented room somewhere and maybe even get her a cheap used car.
If you can help with anything, I appreciate it SO much. All of this money will go directly to my mom to help her with this struggle of starting over at 60 years old.
