GIMME SHELTER - Renee Whaley faces homelessness
I'm Mr. Lobo, a TV host and producer of weirdo projects like Cinema Insomnia and OSI 74. After receiving one of the best gifts ever from one of our biggest fans ever , Renee Whaley. I tried to reach out to her and had great difficulty. She was in a bad place and needed help and starting this fundraiser for her after her years of grassroots support, fan art, guerilla marketing for us...was honestly the very least I could do.
Renee felt the name of the fundraiser was important and she picked "Gimmie Shelter"- and added "I would want wild horses to drag me away. "
Even though she's brilliant, Renee has severe Dyslexia...I asked her to explain her situation as best she can and she wrote these words below.
"Not a hit song for this situation, Facing homelessness is not a hit, its a blow that one takes that reduces to a rolling stone that is aimed for the deepest ocean. Stone cant float, Truth be told neither can I .
THANKS TO MR LOBO : for offering this go fund me opportunity with the suggestion and direction in " all on board " confidence. A few days of thinking it through, I said yes to that offer to be part of a means to generate some monuities this campaign can do for me .
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU READING:- this very campaign at this very moment. Time has a new definition today and to our world in crisis, I want to let it be known, I appreciate you taking time out of own struggles during this pandemic,
WHY I NEED YOUR HELP
Resources are already taken. due to the urgency of Covid19
I have spent my money accumulated for a better plan ahead before Covid 19
I have been able to pay for my shelter with monueties through working 30 dollars an hour as my mothers trustee. She is doing well because she was the one whom has Alzheimer's Disease since 2012. YES , I am her attorney in fact. And because I always lived at home with her, I earned my keep there, I never took a free ride or was a freeloader, that's using people if ones motive is expecting someone to house you if your an adult besides she is my mother and I was the one person all the doctors would go to and I committed to being her Alzheimer's Caregiver after some realistic unknowns. fact was no one else ever cared for her physical needs to maintain good mental and physical health so I knew it had be me to commit and I did. It was successful, I sold her home and payed off her 700 ,000 dollar debt from her reversed mortgage leaving just enough for a couple years UNTIL the Covid19 changed our live dramatically. I had the challenge and I succeeded at saving her but that was with a promise to see her all the time and I wouldn't leave her ever I was going to be there till the end. 3 weeks later THE COVID19 took my mom away from my promises to her , So we were both getting adjusted in our new but separated lifestyles and life for us both became more expensive, costly, isolated and today she also has 2 months before she will have no choice, because no money for assisted living means nursing home. she is not belong in that place. not yet so im striving to also find ways and time for her and myself to have meaning before she dies. and im too busy with all of her things that has to be dealt with , plan for my housing and im now broke and will not have money to continue her end of life trust duties but i am doing it because I love my mom and getting paid or not she is counting on me . I can and will always be someone that invests in the people i love and commitment i make i follow through . I don't use people because I know how it feels and treating others as I would like to be treated is The golden rule and it works.
I cant swim. LITERALY. Figuratively, I have been treading but also getting tired and Today, I am going to sink, I need help to Literally BUY TIME. because " time is of the essence " All my hard work I thought was in progress, has been pulverized and resources for someone like me , (read below ) are none .More time to at least buy a couple more months the more the better. Would you be able to help ? Any amount will be progress. Appreciated as well.
I have been diagnosed with PTSD, on Alzheimer Caregiver to my mom to fireworks and I'm dyslexic and suffer clinical depression. I' m already battling so much , How can I buy time to figure this all out and not be homeless, I wont make it on the streets , I'm no better than anyone I'm not having a pity party . I want to live and in my gut I just know for a fact its more dangerous to be homeless when your first independent year of life is the 50 something year old female that never qualified for one perk from this wonder country America.
Thank You !
Renee Whaley
