Help Joni Rutledge
Donation protected
My name is Evan Lafford, and I am collecting funds for Joni Rutledge, and her housing complications. I worked with Joni for 4 years at the call center, and I keep in regular contact with her since then. I knew that there was very little I could personally do, but to set up this fundraiser in hopes to raise some funds to get her off the streets. Any money raised will go into an "Emergency funds" account and be spent according to her needs.
Joni unfortunately became homeless in June after medical complications made her unable to return to work. She was fired due to this, and currently has $277 per month to live off of, out of her car, in winter.
Let's help get Joni off the streets for a few months, while we get other arrangements set up. An address would allow her to potentially receive assistance from the Department of Community Services. We could all use a break sometimes, and Joni deserves one more than most.
