<div>Cynara Johnson owns her home. She is disabled. And for ten months she has been living with raw sewage pooling underneath her home, mold consuming her walls, floors so soft they sag and crack and are about to cave in, and a smell that hits you before you even reach her yard.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She is not a renter who missed payments. She is not someone who neglected her home. She is a homeowner who is being destroyed by the corporation that owns the land beneath her.  Sun Communities, a publicly traded REIT worth over $15 billion, owns the property her home sits on.  They have failed to maintain proper drainage, which has saturated the ground under her home to the point that it doesn't even freeze in the winter, caused her foundation to shift and her sewer pipes to dislocate, and then sent her threatening letters telling her it is her problem.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Their idea of cleanup was piling only a portion of the raw sewage behind her home, throwing lime on it, and walking away.  Then they sent letters claiming they have no legal obligation, and that reattaching her sewer pipe was an act of good will.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The same corporation that caused this has sent cease and desist letters to a community volunteer and to Michigan Advance for speaking publicly about what is happening to Cynara. Not a court order. Not a judge. Corporate lawyers sent to silence a disabled woman and the people fighting for her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have documented everything. We have photos. We have video. We have city inspection reports. We have a formal LARA complaint. We have contacted state and federal representatives. We brought Michigan EGLE to her door. We have Sun Communities' own letters denying responsibility. We have their cease and desist letters. A Detroit News investigative story is running sometime the end of March. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And Cynara is still in that home. Because there is nowhere for her to go and no money to get her there.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every service we have contacted has nothing available. Every agency has failed her. The system that is supposed to protect people like Cynara does not work for people like Cynara.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So we are asking our community directly.
</div>
<div>We need $7,000 to move her to safe transitional housing right now, before her home is condemned, before the sewage gas makes her sicker. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar above that goes directly toward the legal fight to hold Sun Communities accountable, for Cynara, and for every other family in that community living on the same saturated land being ignored by Sun Communities. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cynara should not have to choose between her health and her home. She should not be invisible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please share this. Please give what you can. 
</div>
