Hello everyone,

This isn’t an easy message to write, but I’m reaching out for some help as I go through a major life transition. After living in my home for 10 years, I was recently asked to move out. I had a three-bedroom place that I could no longer afford, so I had to downsize to a small one-bedroom apartment. Unfortunately, storage costs were high, and I could only keep a limited number of my belongings—many things had to be sold, donated, or left behind.

I chose to move to a new city to be closer to my grandkids and to find a place that fit my budget. This also meant leaving my previous job, since the commute was no longer possible. I’ve been working hard to find steady employment here, and I’ve recently started a part-time position. However, during the past few months, I’ve been relying on my Social Security income, small day jobs, and the generous help of family and friends just to make ends meet.

I’m doing everything I can to get back on my feet, but I could really use some support during this transition. Any donation—big or small—will help cover moving costs, essential household items, and basic living expenses until I’m fully re-established.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read my story and for any help you can offer. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this page would mean the world to me.

With gratitude,

Lorrie
