<div>Help a 102-Year-Old Grandmother Save the Home She Has Lived in for 37 Years
</div>
<div>Mamie Hansberry is nearly 103 years old and facing the heartbreaking possibility of losing the home she has lived in for 37 years. Instead of living her final years in peace, she is living in fear and constant stress inside her own home. Mamie should be enjoying peace, not fighting to protect her home.
</div>
<div>Mamie owns a small two-unit duplex where she has lived all these years. The only other unit in the building is occupied by a tenant who has refused to pay rent for years, taken over part of her property, and refuses to recognize her as the landlord. The situation has left her feeling intimidated, overwhelmed and unsafe in the home she worked her entire life to keep.
</div>
<div>Mamie has tried to get help. Sadly, different lawyers and eviction services have taken her money, but once the tenant requested a jury trial they required tens of thousands of dollars more to continue, leaving Mamie with no legal representation.
</div>
<div>She survives on a small fixed income while bills continue to mount and the tenant is receiving publicly funded legal aid. A jury trial dramatically increases the cost of the case and makes it nearly impossible for Mamie to continue the legal fight on her own. There is no legal aid available for landlords.
</div>
<div>Over the past few years, Mamie has also endured devastating personal loss, including the disappearance and recent death of her only daughter, while facing financial and elder abuse during one of the most difficult periods of her life.
</div>
<div>Now, at nearly 103 years old, she is being forced to fight just to stay safe and remain in the only home she has.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to help cover the legal fees, court costs, expenses required to complete the eviction process and address the enormous bills that have piled up due to years of unpaid rent.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation helps give Mamie the peace, safety, and dignity she deserves in her final years. If you are able to give, your support will help protect a nearly 103 year old grandmother from losing everything. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this campaign so others may help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised will go toward:
</div>
<div>• Legal representation required to represent her at the trail
</div>
<div>• Complete the eviction process
</div>
<div>• Court filing fees and trial preparation
</div>
<div>• The significant legal costs associated with a jury trial
</div>
<div>• Costs related to enforcing the eviction order if it occurs
</div>
<div>• Bills that have piled up after years of unpaid rent
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am Mamie's granddaughter and will be handling the funds on her behalf.
