My name is Ann, and I’m 61 years old. My husband and I, along with our small dog, are currently living on the streets of Reno, NV. Life has been incredibly hard for us, especially as the weather gets colder and our health isn’t the best. I am disabled and receive SSI, and my husband, who is 54 and has diabetes, does his best to support us by working for DoorDash. Despite our efforts, it’s just not enough to get us off the streets and into a place to call home.

We dream of having a safe, warm place where we can rest and our little dog can play without worry. The biggest challenge we face is coming up with enough money for deposits and first and last month’s rent. We simply can’t afford it on our own, and every day out here gets a little harder. It’s dangerous, and we worry about our health and safety all the time.

We are reaching out to ask for your help. Your kindness and support would mean the world to us and could truly change our lives. If you are able to donate, we would be so grateful for any help you can give. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to read our story and for caring about our journey.
