Help Dora Keep Her Home

Donation protected
Hi, I'm Andrew, and I'm raising funds to help my friend Dora Drake save her home. I have known Dora since we were kids: Dora is a generous and kind woman who has spent much of her life helping others. In fact, when her financial situation was better, she gifted several friends thousands of dollars to help make their rent payments on time. She even bought a huge trailer for a neighbor to live in when he was in danger of losing HIS home!! In addition, she contributed a substantial amount to the original ONE805/KickAshBash to help first responders in the area get the equipment and resources they need after the devastating Thomas Fire/Debris Flow.  So, if you do know her, you know what a warm-hearted woman she is.

And if you know Dora very well at all, then you know that she and her precious Russian Blue cat, Silkie, wouldn't live anywhere else!

She owns the home outright that sits in the beautiful mountains above Santa Barbara. But loss of funds due to the pandemic has made it difficult for her to find a way to pay her property taxes, fire insurance, and other fees -- all due in the next couple of months -- with no grace period on most of them!! IMPORTANT and FYI: There are no institutional/bank loans available for this property -- mortgages, re-fi's or HELOC's -- due to the fact that Dora owns the building but not the land. 

It's so frustrating for her that she has to ask for help, so I am asking on her behalf: If you can, please donate. Any amount, no matter how small, will help! In this holiday season, in the Spirit of Giving, you could help save Dora's precious home.
