Help Get Penny and Her Pets Off the Streets!

The Story

Life has been extremely challenging for our dear Penny, a loving grandmother who has tried to keep her family together at all costs. Unfortunately, following a nasty divorce during the pandemic, her landlord sold her home out from underneath her. Even after a lifetime of customer service in the food industry, Penny is now disabled and struggling.

Unable to afford a new place for herself and her pets, Penny's been forced to couch surf, sell personal belongings, and even endure elder abuse and identity theft by her own cousin. Now, she and her furred and feathered family are forced to live in her car on the hot Vegas streets. However, through it all, Penny never gives up on finding a safe haven for herself and her beloved pets.



The Hope

Thankfully, Penny's family has found her a room with a private bath and a refrigerator in her grandparents' old neighborhood. But there's a catch - the $650 monthly rent is nearly $300 more than what her Social Security covers for housing. That's where you come in, our generous and kind-hearted helpers!

The Impact

Your contributions will have a direct impact on Penny's life as well as her pets' well-being. Here's a breakdown of how your donations will be put to use:

$50 provides a day of gas and food for Penny and the animals
$75 covers the fees for surrendering ONE animal to a no-kill shelter, if they can't stay together
$150 covers a pet sitter so Penny can attend self-help and medical appointments
$650 provides one month's rent
$1,300 secures the room, with the first and last month's deposits
$7,800 ensures a year's worth of rent payments
$10,000 houses and feeds Penny and her animals for an entire year while she waits for Social Security disability subsidized housing





Our Gratitude

Every contribution means the world to Penny and her furry companions! As a token of gratitude, we will send out personalized thank-you emails for donations of any size, as well as public shout-outs on social media for donations over $150. These acknowledgments will highlight your generosity and inspire others to join our cause.

Spreading the Word

We humbly ask you not only for your financial assistance but also for your help in sharing Penny's story. Please share the campaign with your friends and family on social media, through email, or any other means that will help spread the word about Penny's plight. Together, we can make a difference in Penny's life and give her back the dignity she deserves.

Transparency and Updates

We understand that trust is key, and we pledge full transparency in regard to how your donations are utilized. We promise to provide frequent updates on Penny's situation and accomplishments as she and her pets get settled into their new home.

With your support, we can get Penny and her pets off the streets and give them a chance at a brighter, safer, and more stable future - one in which she can see and enjoy time with her children and grandchildren rather than fighting to stay alive.

Please donate today and let's shower Penny with our love and "Pennies from Heaven"!
