Gordy Needs Our Help
Donation protected
Hi everyone!
We all know that Gordy would do anything for anyone at anytime. He is the first person to send a birthday or anniversary card. The first person to say wonderful things about people on social media. The first person to promote the businesses of those he loves. Gordy is just one of the greatest guys most of us have ever met. The flip side of all the love that he shows to everyone else is that Gordy is also not in the best of health and not in the best financial situation. He is still living in the house he grew up in, which is 64 years old and still all original, and it is in DIRE need of repairs. Gordy is dealing with a rat infestation, as many areas of Old Town are, and he cant afford to get the rats handled and have his house sealed. His sliding glass door is original and doesnt close, allowing the rats to enter at will. He lives on a very meager fixed income and is unable to handle these issues as well as other issues.
We are hoping to raise enough money to have the rat issue remediated, have the house sealed, replace the sliding glass door and maybe have enough left over to do some other repairs for him. Also, I am very concerned about his property taxes getting paid. On the months that they are due, if he pays them, it leaves him only $40 to live on for that month. I dont want to see him fall behind on the taxes because someone will buy the debt and potentially they could take his house from him. That house is really all he has. It would be wonderful if we could raise enough so that his future taxes could get paid in full as well and maybe have enough left over for an emergency fund.
If anyone knows someone who can donate their time and possibly the items needed, that would be wonderful. Looking for a contractor who can replace the slider and a pest company who can seal the house and remediate the rats at the VERY minimum.
Gordy has been so good to all of us and he needs help so PLEASE donate whatever you can....$5, $50, $100.
