Assist Debbie and Niece in Starting Fresh

Hello, my name is Debbie. My niece and I are from Southern California and will be moving to St. Louis, MO this summer. Given recent extenuating circumstances, we feel this is the best solution for us financially. My niece recently joined a local ballet company in St. Louis. She loves her job and the city and hopes to stay quite some time. I hope to join her.

Our family is just the two of us, and it is important for us to be together to support each other. Unfortunately, about 12 years ago, I suffered a brain bleed from an AVM (arteriovenous malformation) and two massive strokes that have taken away my abilities to read, use my left arm, drive a car, and work. I am 74 years old, and I get $1600 a month from Social Security, my primary source of income. When we settle down in St. Louis, we intend to split housing costs.

I have a moving estimate from a moving company and the total cost is around $5000 for a cross-country move. This sum of $5000 includes all the essential components for a move.

I understand that I am asking for a lot of help, but any little bit would be greatly appreciated, and my niece and I would be forever grateful!

Thank you for your kindness,

Debbie W
