Help Disabled Mother & Daughter Avoid Homelessness

Help a Disabled Mother & Daughter Find Safety, Stability, and Hope

By August 31st, my daughter and I will lose our home.

If we don’t act now, we’ll be homeless — and my daughter will lose her chance to go to college.

I’ve never been comfortable asking for help, but today I have no choice.

Our Story

I’m 46 years old, from Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. I was born with cerebral palsy, and in 2020, I lost my leg after an injury that couldn’t be repaired. I live every day with advanced osteoarthritis, chronic pain, and limited mobility in my shoulders from constant overuse of my wheelchair.

Despite it all, I’ve always been proud of three things:

My independence

Being a mother

Always putting others before myself

In 2019, my husband passed away. We lost half our income overnight. Since then, I’ve survived on $1,091 a month from SSI, with no reliable transportation and no accessible housing options nearby.

Now, after years of doing everything I could to hold us together, we’ve been told to leave our apartment by August 31st. And to make things worse, my daughter owes $5,000 in tuition by August 11th or she’ll lose her spot at Kutztown University.

Why $250,000? (Two-Phase Goal)

We’ve set a big goal because this isn’t just about surviving eviction — it’s about building a future where my daughter and I never face homelessness again.

Phase 1 – Urgent Needs ($45,000)

$5,000 — Daughter’s immediate tuition balance (due August 11th)

$15,000 — Accessible housing deposit + first year’s rent (or start of a down payment fund)

$10,000 — Reliable wheelchair-accessible van (for appointments, work, errands, and independence)

$5,000 — Moving expenses, deposits, accessibility modifications

$10,000 — Emergency buffer for food, medical costs, and utilities during transition

This phase keeps us safe right now.

Phase 2 – Stability & Future Security ($205,000)

Pay off $15,000+ in debt that’s destroying my credit

Purchase a permanent, wheelchair-accessible home

Secure a full college fund so my daughter can complete her degree without interruption

Ensure reliable transportation long-term (van upgrades & maintenance)

Build a $20,000 emergency/medical savings fund so we never face this again

This phase makes sure we’re not just surviving — but truly stable, independent, and thriving.

From My Heart to Yours

I’ve always fought to keep going, even when I wanted to give up. My daughter is my reason for not quitting.

This campaign isn’t just about us keeping a roof over our heads. It’s about giving my daughter the chance to get an education, and giving me the chance to stop living in fear of the next crisis.
