Help Lisa Secure Safe Housing

Donation protected
Hello, I don’t even know where to begin. My name is Lisa. I’m currently living on the street. I’ve done everything I can to get a place to live. I’ve been through so much in my life, but this last year and a half has put me on the edge. I’ve been through a really bad domestic violence relationship. I got sexually assaulted on the streets. On a positive note, I have a program that is helping me get into housing on April 1. I am supposed to move into an apartment and get off the streets. I already have an inspection date. The only thing that’s holding me back is a broker fee. I don’t wanna be on the streets anymore. It’s so scary in this world. The landlord is not going to wait for the Department of Social Services to maybe approve the broker's fee, and they could take up to 45 days. I don’t have time for that. I’m on a deadline. I can go on and on; I can write a book about what I’ve been through. I’m asking the public to help me get off the street with this one-time fee of $2275. That’s all I need, and then I’ll be off the street. I don’t know where I would be without my dog. She’s never given up on me, so I will never give up on her. My little dog saved my life. I want to reward her with a warm place to live. I want to be able to invite my grandson over to have dinner with his Nana. I miss him so much. I don’t get to see him much because I am on the street. I wanna feel human again. I wanna feel like a woman again. People don’t know the challenges that people face on the streets, especially being a woman alone. Please, I pray to the Lord if there’s anybody out there that can help me. I will appreciate you for the rest of my life. I know that my mom would’ve helped me, but she passed away three weeks ago, and I’m having a really hard time dealing with her passing. I wanna make my mom proud of me. I want her to see that I can get back on my feet ever since I got into this really bad relationship. Thank God I am out of it now. I lost a lot of self-esteem. I closed out the entire world for a long time, and I’m so ready to face the world again. I just need a little bit of help. I have seven days to come up with this money. If I don’t come up with this money, I’m so scared I’m gonna end up stuck on the streets. If anybody has any questions, you can message me. I will answer any questions you have. God bless.
