Help Anthony Keep A Roof Over His Family's Heads

Donation protected
My name is Sarah Plumkin.  This image is of my friend, Anthony Velasquez, and his 2 children.  A short time ago, Anthony, and his family, were asked to leave their residence of 12 years.  The house where Anthony, and his deceased wife, had made a home for their 2 kids and 4 furbabies. Their landlord gave them a one year timeline before she was going to sell the house.  A couple of months into that year, she changed it to 4 months.  Thinking they still had four months to find a place to move to, they were very shocked when she gave them 2 weeks.  Suddenly, Anthony and his 2 kids had 2 weeks to move 12 years of things and memories. 

Since that 2 week surprise move, Anthony has been staying in a hotel with the 4 furbabies.  His 2 children have been staying with friends and family.  Between the hotel room, food, gas to search out a new place to live, pet supplies, and helping the friends and family with the room and board of his kids, Anthony is spending around $350.00 a week.  Even for California, that is a whole lot of money.  So, naturally, Anthony is running out of money very quickly.  In fact, he's literally days away from having to sleep in his car with 4 furbabies.  Keep in mind that, on top of this $350.00 a week, he's still having to pay his car payment, insurance, cell phone, etc.  

The amount of money we're currently asking for, $5,000,00, will pay for 6 more weeks of hotel living and house search.  It would also pay deposit and first month's rent on a new house.  They're looking for a 2 bedroom in San Bernardino, with a rent of no more than $1,200 a month, that allows pets.  If they haven't found a new place to live within 6 weeks, we will have to adjust the amount we're requesting.  Anthony is going to need funds immediately.  Because of that, I've set this up so that it goes directly to him.  Keep in mind that your donation is helping a man not live in his car while he finds a new house for his family. 

As an added incentive, if you donate at least $100.00, I will write you your very own story.  This could be a story about Santa getting your kids (or furkids) what they want for Christmas, your child (or furbaby) getting a feature book in my upcoming Jackson Price series, or, if you have no kids or furbabies, I could write you a short story appropriate for adults, anything from PG to XXX.  Just email me at Childrens.Author.Sarah.Plumkin  @gmail.com (take out the space) with proof of your donation.  I will email you back with a form to fill out for your book or story.  These will be autographed and dedicated ebook copies, and may, or may not, become published works in the future.
