74yr old homeless lady needs a home

Donation protected

My name is Mychael Michelle . I am writing today to inform you about a horrible sad situation that has come to my attention. A 74year old Nigerian lady recently walked into my business that I own downtown Atlanta (hair salon). I immediately discovered that she was homeless because of the way she was dressed and also she was carrying a very heavy bag with clothes. My staff and I decided to do her hair for free and gift her with food.For almost 4 months now she has consistently traveled to my salon wanting food and somebody to help her!.. I sat her down to ask her about the situation that she was now in and what happened for her to be in this mess.. she then explained to me that her daughter and son in-law put her out leaving her to Rome the streets of Atlanta ! she has now been homeless for 10 months. She is very weak and getting older and can not survive on her own !! I have recently had a meeting with her son-in law begging him to get her off the street and he's suggesting that she go back to Africa and not stay with him and his wife. They do not want anything to do with her! I recently found a citizens home for the elderly, but she can not get approved because she does not have her citizenship or funds to get it! only her green card !! Shes a very smart lady, very sweet, and does not deserve this treatment!

I AM HOPING TO RAISE THIS MONEY TO PLACE HER INTO A SMALL COMFORTABLE APARTMENT FOR 1 YEAR, WHICH SHOULD BE ENOUGH TIME FOR HER TO GET HER CITIZENSHIP AND GET APPROVED FOR A SENIOR CITIZEN HOME

Please help me so that I can help her !!
