Flood victim in Kentucky please help Lost everything

️ Peggy Lost Everything in the Kentucky Floods Help Her Find a Safe Place to Call Home ️

Hello, my name is Peggy some people call me Lulu.

I never imagined I’d be in this position, but here I am walking the streets of Kentucky, homeless, hungry, and soaking wet in the rain. I lost everything when the flood hit: my camper, my belongings, and the little bit of peace I had. Now I have nowhere to sleep, nothing to eat, and no money to survive.

Every day I wake up not knowing where I’ll go, what I’ll eat, or if I’ll be safe that night. I’ve tried going to local help offices, but I’ve been turned away. Sometimes I get small snacks from kind people, but it’s not enough. I’m emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I’m still holding on to hope.

That’s why I created this fundraiser to ask for your help in giving me a chance to live again.

Someone was kind enough to offer me a used camper, but the city gave me just two weeks to find land and move it, or they’ll take it away. This is my one shot at getting off the streets and into a safe place. I’m trying to raise money to buy a small piece of land so I can legally park the camper and finally rest without fear.

I’m not asking for luxury just for the basics: a roof over my head, a warm place to sleep, and a little bit of peace. I’ve been through so much, and I’m just trying to survive. I also deal with mental illness, which makes it hard for me to work or stay focused, but I’m doing everything I can to keep going.

If you’ve ever wondered who you could help, what they’re going through, when they need it most, where your donation would go, and why it matters this is it.

WHO: Peggy, a real person trying to survive

WHAT: She’s raising funds to buy land for her only chance at shelter

WHEN: Now the city has given her two weeks before they remove the camper

WHERE: Flood-stricken Kentucky

WHY: Because she’s lost everything and just wants to live in peace and dignity again

If I’m able to raise more than what I need, I will use the rest to help other flood victims here in Kentucky who are still struggling like I am.

Please, if you can donate even a little it would mean the world to me. And if you can’t donate, please share my story. You never know who might be willing to help.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story.

With love and hope,
Peggy (Lulu)
I could really use help in need of a place to live Lost my camper to the flood and everything I own I have nothing no money no food please help me kindly share my GoFundMe me anything helps

Hello, I'm Peggy. I was out walking looking for a place to stay please help me raise money so I don't have to worry about where I'm sleepy or eating, I'm tired of walking around looking for a place it's raining today I'm hungry and wet anything you can do to help me out I would be really appreciate of anything you can give thank you all

You probably heard about me; people keep making fun of me and sharing stories about me on the Internet.

Yes, I'm homeless, but I had a home. My brother kicked me out; it was my home.

Now I sleep wherever I can. I go without food most of the time because I have no money to eat. I was so hungry yesterday. I ran into my sister; she didn't have much but got me a Coke and some snacks. We have a town help office, but they said I'm not allowed in there. Sometimes people put stuff on the sidewalk; I'll sometimes get some things if I can use them. I don't think it's stealing because the help office is free. They shared my video and said it was stealing. Why can't they help me? They are a free help office. I don't have a phone; my sister let me have this to use. I got a camper given to me, but the city said if I didn't get it in two weeks, they were going to take it off. I really need a home. I'm so tired of always being outside; it's so hot today. I don't know where my food is coming from. Nobody in this town wants to help. I can't get a job because my mind doesn't focus right. I am mentally ill, used to get a check but have to keep signing up again. I also used to be on medication that helped me a little. I just got back on medical support but not sure if I still get it. I don't have anything. I don't even have a place to go. Please help me, please.Please thank you. I made this for me Peggy to get help for me. I didn't have account so I asked my sister to allow me to use hers please I'm so tired of being outside and wondering around all day looking for a place to rest and eat I think if I can raise enough money to put my camper on them things will get better the city said I had two weeks to move my camper but I don't have no place or money to move it.so I trying to raise money for myself to buy a small land for my camper then I want have to worry about a place then I can live better and focus more on eating whatever else I need thank you all my name is Peggy some people call me lulu
