Donate to Secure a Home for Stacey and Her Son

Hello everyone.

My name is Stacey Devine. My 15-year-old son and I live in Marquette, Michigan. We have been living in an apartment here for close to two years.

Our rent is entirely too much for me to pay on my own. I did have help before from my mom and my grandmother, but they have since both passed away. My grandmother was just old; she died at home in her favorite recliner at the age of 95. My mom died three months later from esophageal cancer that eventually spread to her lungs.

My uncle has since sold my Gram's home that both my mom, myself, and my son grew up in. And now I'm struggling so hard with trying to pay the rent here, as well as trying to find another place to live by the middle of June. It's almost impossible for one person to financially do all this themselves, especially when you're just a hotel housekeeper at the age of 54.

I know that there are thousands of people who desperately need help, who are way worse off than us, but I'm absolutely terrified that we're going to end up homeless.

All we need is just enough money to find a place to live. Just to literally get our foot in the door.

I sincerely am completely embarrassed that I have to beg for money. I really am. But I'm considered old now, on my own with a teenage son. There's nobody left to ask for help.

That being said, any tiny bit helps. I really appreciate in advance any donations from anyone who can help.

This isn't easy for me to do, but I just don't know how else I can find a way out of this situation. I know I could have made better life choices, but yet here we are. I have to be able to make sure my son is safe. He's already been through entirely too much in his 15 years on this earth than needed, and it's not his fault.

Thanks so much for reading. I really do appreciate the people out there who still experience empathy, support, and compassion.

Thank you.
