You may already know this or this may be the first time you're hearing about it. Sam (fondly known to all of us as Sam O or S'mo) has been in a battle with cervical cancer over the last year. She has been doing her best to stay in good spirits and crack jokes along the way.
That is until she got a letter in the mail on Monday. Sam has been served with an eviction notice. She has to find a new place to live by February which will be significantly more expensive than her current rent. With the uncertainty about her ability to be able to return to work and an already heightening struggle to make ends meet financially, this has been very stressful and upsetting news for Sam.
This Christmas, I don't want any presents, nor do I expect to receive any. If you do have any amount of money to spare at all, I would like to ask you to please donate to the Go Fund Me we have set up for our amazing friend Sam to help her with a rent deposit, Uber rides to her weekly treatments, and future rent payments she will have to make. Every dollar counts and I thank you for even taking the time to read Sam's story.
FYI - Sam has no idea about this and we want it to be a surprise. She would NEVER ask anyone for help EVER, especially financially so we wanted to step in and try to rally up the troops! By no means are we hoping to upset her, but to let her know how much she is loved and cared for. Feel free to discretely pass this along to anyone who may know and love Sam, or just generally be interested in helping an amazing person stay on her feet while she faces her most challenging year yet. Merry Christmas!
