begging for some mercy and grace

Donation protected
We're asking friends, family or anybody who can empathize to help out financially & pray for our family.

As soon as my SSI and Medicaid kicks in (already on the 3rd hurdle) we should have no problem standing on our own. Until then, I'm begging for support. Here's the latest debacle that has driven us to this position. We also received help from my Uncle and a college roommate of my late mother's. Here goes...

After losing 4 roommates (Great people), we've now moved about 30- 45 mins east of Oakland. Even after using flipp, GoodRX, Etc...All ways to pinch pennies. After this, we knew were still not going to quite make it. We took on a roommate making the mistake of making a deal with an old friend who negotiated her way down to 800 or 600 if she paid weekly. We had to ask her to leave and now threatens every now and then to stiff us. She's 32 and we presumed she was capable of an adult agreement, but after 6 weeks, we had to cut ties.

If she honored the agreement, we only would have to worry about next month while we wait for SSI and Medicaid to kick in and allow us to stand on our own, even in Northern California.

While the money raised through this campaign has remained at 120 for a few days, I'd like those reading to be heartened for us. We've been contacted by 2 people who are putting checks in the mail. Which by the way is 93 Diana way, Antioch CA 94509 for those not technically inclined. No worries.

And, this is so incredible, the honorary Linardy since at very least since 2001 who pushed me to start this campaign, started their own for us and we just received the deposit the day after this fund began. Amazing, Thank you so much for everything. I'm not sure you want to be named, but you know who you are, TYSM.

I also know things are rough all over and I'm sorry I had to resort to this, so we don't have any expectation to reach our "goal". It was set high as not to end the campaign prematurely.

If you've read this far, Thank you so much for caring about my father and I whether or not you're able to support the fund.
Sincerely,
Matt and Leo Linardy
