Meet Jerry and Trish.
Jerry is blind and autistic, and Trish is bravely fighting cancer. For years, life has been incredibly hard on them — but despite all the struggles, they’ve shown incredible strength.
Six months ago, they made a life-changing decision: they got completely clean and free from drugs. Every single day since, they’ve been fighting to stay sober, and they’ve succeeded. Their resilience is inspiring, but now they need support to take the next step toward stability.
Right now, Jerry and Trish are facing housing insecurity and the daily struggle to afford basics like food and transportation. What they truly need is a second chance — the opportunity to live safely, focus on healing, and continue proving that recovery is possible.
That’s where we come in.
Jerry and Trish have asked me to help manage the funds responsibly, due to their past addictions and the difficulty they’ve had accessing the right support. They want to make sure every dollar raised goes toward housing, essentials, and a fresh start.
This fundraiser will:
• Provide safe housing immediately. If we raise enough, Jerry and Trish will be placed in a hotel so they don’t have to worry about where they’ll sleep.
• Cover daily essentials such as food, clothing, and transportation.
• Support them in moving out of Utah if that gives them a better chance at stability and a brighter future.
I’ll be traveling to Utah on October 25 to meet Jerry and Trish and personally deliver support.
Until then, if enough is raised, we’ll ensure they’re already in safe accommodation while they wait for longer-term solutions.
Beyond donations, we’re also seeking practical help. If anyone has access to rentals, job opportunities, or computer equipment that could help Jerry and Trish rebuild their lives, a financial advisor etc
Please reach out directly at [email redacted].
Every donation, no matter the size, is a vote of confidence in Jerry and Trish’s future. It tells them: “You deserve this second chance. We believe in you.”
*I believe this will be in AUD, I will be surprising them in USD* *please note this*
If anyone in Salt Lake City, would like to be involved in assisting them off the street while I’m not there. Please reach out. I also need the community’s help ❤️
