At 83 years old, this devoted mother has worked her entire life to remain strong and self-reliant. Since losing her husband in 2012, she has continued living independently in the home they shared, carefully stretching a single Social Security check to cover her expenses. Through discipline, sacrifice, and determination, she has managed to make it work year after year.

She is not seeking ongoing assistance—just a one-time helping hand to get through this difficult year. Rising living costs and several unexpected expenses have created a financial shortfall she cannot overcome on her own.

She lives in a very modest mobile home, and the annual land lease payment. She remains mentally sharp, physically capable, and fiercely independent. Her deepest wish is simple: to stay in the home she loves and continue caring for herself.

With no close family nearby, even the most basic alternative housing would cost far more than her current annual lease, creating a hardship she could not sustain.

Any contribution—large or small—or even sharing this fundraiser would make a meaningful difference. Thank you for taking the time to read her story and for helping her remain safe, independent, and at home.
