My name is JeanMarie, and I am reaching out during one of the most difficult times of my life. Due to recent changes in HUD funding, I am losing my housing subsidy and now face the very real threat of homelessness. At 62 years old and living with a disability, I am doing everything I can to find appropriate part-time work so I can eventually manage full rent on my own. Despite these efforts, the sudden loss of support has left me in a vulnerable position, and I am deeply worried about what the future holds for myself and my three beloved dogs.

The funds raised through this campaign will help me cover rent while I search for work, providing the stability I need to stay in my home and avoid homelessness. This support will not only keep a roof over my head, but also ensure the safety and well-being of my dogs, who are my constant companions and family. Your kindness will give me the breathing room I need to get back on my feet and continue working toward self-sufficiency.

I've always believed in paying it forward and have tried to help others whenever I could. Now, I find myself in urgent need of help. Facing homelessness with my disability would be catastrophic for both me and my dogs. Any support you can offer—whether through a donation or by sharing my story—would mean the world to us. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering a gift of hope during this challenging time.
