Cindy is a dear friend and former coworker who is facing a heartbreaking situation that has become all too common for seniors. After an injury forced her to leave her job, Cindy tried to get disability but was denied. She managed to find lighter work, but her health continued to decline. The home she lives in was left to her by her father when he passed away, and without it, she would have been homeless years ago.

Cindy had to take her Social Security at 62, which meant a lower monthly amount than if she could have waited until 65. Now, at 71, the cost of living and mounting medical bills have made it impossible for her to pay her property taxes for the past four years. She is now on the edge of losing her home—the one place that has given her stability through so many challenges.

I have tried everything I can to find programs or assistance for Cindy, even reaching out to government offices, but so far, nothing has worked. The only thing standing between Cindy and homelessness is the property tax debt. While the amount needed may not seem like much to some, to Cindy it might as well be a million. Every dollar raised will go directly to paying her property taxes and helping her keep her home. Your support would mean the world to her, and her gratitude would be endless.
