Hi, my name is Nikki. I've been stranded on the west coast with my dog. He passed away right before we were supposed to move into a home after years of homelessness; then multiple unfortunate events occurred. MY service dog got sick and passed away in my arms. Then the truck quit working. Then after having a donated vehicle, a mechanic misdiagnosed the problem 4 times after a simple hose broke; he destroyed my engine. Below you will see the tragic situation we are in but also how the money will be used to get us landed home where we can start our life again and believe me when I tell you: You will ALL be a part of this journey and get pictures and wonderful stories of what you have done to bring someone's life back again. Finally having a home after years of homelessness and loss and never a drug user or alcohol abuser is simply an amazing accomplishment in and of itself. But I have No Family so all of you will be extended family and I hope will rejoice in this accomplishment.
Four days after my dog passed I stood on a corner trying to earn money to pay for the $3-4,000 I spent attempting to save his life. I had to raise that money back to move, with two vehicles not running. The only safe place I had to park left me with warnings - the day after my birthday - that I'd have two days to move before having the cars impounded. Then my broker who sold us the house, our very first home, came down to Monterey 6 months later, he had said he would bring people to load my things, drive to the new home and unload. I was going to pay them to load and move everything up to the state and then unload. After getting paying for the trucks and filling them and taking care of their motel room, this man left me stranded with full moving trucks and no ability to drive them; he stole my generator which I was going to use to open up a business. He took it across two state lines; the sherriff has my generator up in Idaho and I have no ability to retrieve it. This man and people he brought were very abusive and I was concerned. It had cost me everything trying to recover from what they did. I have raised some of the money back and am taking what little I can out of my social security each month above bills. I've since gotten a home in another state to move to; I've gathered some savings from standing on a street corner even in the pouring rain, cold wind but my health is not up to this. Local homeless trying to run me off so they can make money for bad purposes but I wouldn't budge. But this is also taking a toll on my soul - and being threatened with bodily harm is not good either. Im taking every thing I can gather from social security for my injuries. Neither vehicle runs properly for me to continue to travel down to where I need to fly a sign and I can no longer afford a rental truck trying to stay warm at night. Both automobiles will have expired tags this year and they will soon be impounded indefinitely. I will soon be without shelter. I have my dog's remains and simply wish to get home and give him the home I promised him. I am not exaggerating I cannot survive out here in these conditions much longer, with constant pain and fatigue from standing out all day and with health issues at my age. I need anyone's help, please. I don't believe God left me here to finish my life like this. I'm sorry to those who've helped me and believe they failed. Truly I feel I have nothing left to live for; a big part of me passed away with my medical service dog. I've had several life threatening attacks since he passed over. If/when possible, I'll look for another service animal to adopt into the family. Please help me and forgive me these circumstances which compel me to ask for your help. We just want to go home and start life over again. Thank you and God Bless.
If it wasn't for my tow truck I had paid to put everything back into the storage, we would have lost everything we own. We're packed and ready to go; we just want to go home.. we need Help or I will not survive in this situation. I want to live!!!I still believe in The American Dream - please don't give up on us; I cant. Please share us like the wind. I have people that want to help drive and to load. The money here will go for the trucks and maybe some of the gas. I am standing on a street corner literally being harassed by local homeless drug addict panhandlers that are trying to stop me and threaten me with bodily harm. My drive is too strong; I stand in the cold wind, rain and this because All I want to do is get me and my pup's remains home and start over - start a business and be safe inside our 4 walls, join a local church, grow real friendships that are good people like my drivers. Look forward to rejoicing with all of you. Thank you
