Help Keep her off the streets

I'm trying to remain in my (mobile) home, where I have lived for the last 28 years. 

[To those of you that received my campaign notice last year, this is an update.]

My name is Kathleen. I'll be 78, January 20th. (I can't believe it either!) I've struggled with left side paralysis (hemiplegia) since 1992, after a major CVA, followed by brain surgery (with equipment failure!) I was only 49 and in "perfect" health and  physical condition.  You never know.

When I was finally discharged from the hospital, with help from good neighbors and friends, I moved to a more secure, safe place. A quiet, clean, 55+ mobile home park, on the Kings River.

Here, I bought cheap, an older, single wide, mobile home which was a mess but I could see its potential. I've put 6,000 into fixing it up and I'm very comfortable here. The rent then, was only 200.00 per month with utilities. (PG&E, phone +Internet and space maintenance are separate.)

Now, 28 years later, after many rent and utility increases, it will be approx. 850.00 per month to live here (come February2021). I own the house so that's just for the space and utilities. But this will take well over half of my Social Security, my only income.

I've became somewhat ambulatory over the years but I have my care-giver do all the driving.  I can still drive but no longer feel comfortable doing so.

I can't afford to move or to stay here either! I'm trying to avoid living in my car with my tiny dog and two kitties, should it come to that. They were each rescued and are spayed and neutered. Parting with any of them is not an option, we are family.

I wish there was a little studio apartment or cabin somewhere for us.... should you know of any.


A friend suggested I start a GoFundMe campaign so I did. 

Those of you that have made donations, I am extremely grateful for each one of you. Your kindness and compassion made it possible to get the leaky roof repaired and to continue paying the rent these past months.


The money figure above this story is only an arditratry amount to fill in that field.

I'm hoping again, my home-community-acquaintances or even total strangers, will help me, by at least spreading my campaign (URL) on social media platforms like FB, Instagram, Twitter, etc. (I'm not on any of these for need of mental rest). But this is supposed to be how this works, by spreading the word far and wide. (I assume there's a place, here, to help you do that).

Thank you all  for taking your time to read this. I'm so sorry to be seeking your undeserved kindness and compassionate consideration of my need, yet again.

Thankfully yours,

Kathleen
