Help a disabled vet from losing her home. Please.

Donation protected
I have a friend that needs a little help. 
Her name is Jan Downs. 
My friend is a disabled veteran.
She’s feeling beaten down by the universe. 
My friend is a disabled veteran. 
She had a job lined up but then it lost its funding and her VA claim she was counting on has been denied. 
My friend is a disabled veteran.
She no longer has access to reliable transportation. Having to use public transport in Austin is hard enough—we know what a mess the public transit in ATX is—having to use it to get to job interviews on time is extra difficult.

My friend is in real danger of being evicted. 
My friend is a disabled veteran.
She won’t ask for help herself because she feels undeserving and unworthy. 
She’s in a really dark place right now and simply trying to do the right thing by finding a job to pay her bills. 
My friend is a disabled veteran. 
So I’m asking for her. I know times are tight for so many of us. I know that feeling of being behind the 8 ball and not seeing any way out of a scary situation. Because I know these things intimately and because I’ve been lifted up and helped by the kindness of family, friends and strangers--I feel the imperative to help someone that is hurting and scared and broke just like I have been in the past. 

My friend is a disabled veteran.

Plus she’s a really cool person and if she gives in to the darkness, the world will be a less beautiful place.

Jan Downs needs your kindness.
She could use a little mercy now.
