Help J & kids avoid eviction and bridge to stability
Donation protected
Dear Friends, I'm raising funds to help our dear friend and community-member J and her children "bridge over" to a place of financial stability after recently emerging from devastating health issues which also drained her financially. If you are able, please consider giving to help a community member avoid impending eviction and its devastating consequences.
J has been working hard, with a positive mindset and healthy lifestyle, to rebuild her life. She has already successfully found part-time contract work, and a new apartment. She is gaining ground.
Unfortunately, because of the recent significant moving costs (multiple months' deposit), irregular timing of contract income, and with no savings or family support, she finds herself in need of bridge funding that will give her time to regain solid footing until she is able to catch up through her work income.
I have been helping her explore all viable options, but unfortunately with a short time window with her housing situation, we've come to the conclusion is that the only realistic option at the moment is to fundraise from our community.
In the longer run, she is of course open to professional opportunities, if you know of something (she is a super can-do professional with skills in sales, event production, networking, people management, writing, consulting, and more).
Without additional immediate funds, she and her kids face eviction within weeks, and lose a lot of the gains she's made over the past few months. If you are able, please consider giving to help her family get to the other side. Thank you in advance for your love, support and discretion.
