Help Mark secure a place to live

To know Mark is to love Mark.
I have been friends with Mark ever since he auditioned for Aithon Theater in Fresno in 2007. The moment he started his monologue, we knew he was someone special. Mark was cast as one of the lead roles in the play "True West" and was wonderful. Mark donated his stipend to Aithon to help fund the theater.
Mark is in need of some help. He's not well and in July he will be displaced. Please take a few moments to read Mark's note:
"Dear Friends. I need help. I have been dealing with a neurological problem in my cervical spinal cord that is progressively getting worse. It's preventing me from working and having much of a quality of life. Just recently I found out that I need to find a new place to live by July 1st. Does anyone have a room or know of a place for me and Joey? I just can't imagine my life without him. Right now I have no income so my ability to pay is contingent on getting approved for disability, which I'm in the process of doing. These days I've been fortunate to live in a room at Lisa Garcia's house, through her incredible kindness, but she is selling her house and that’s why I need to find a place. It's a huge thing to ask of anyone, I know, but because of my medical issues and my inability to work, my savings are gone. I've kept this to myself out of pride and embarrassment and the thought that I would get better and therefore go back to work. Sadly, this is not the case. Please will you help me? Thank you -- Mark"
Recently, Mark has been denied disability benefits, however, he is appealing and hopefully, with the help of a lawyer, he will be able to receive disability in the near future.
Some people believe there is no empathy for others lately; that the world has become cynical. I tend to disagree. I have seen friends and family step up and help out their loved ones and strangers in their desperate time of need.
If you can help out in any way, please look deep into your heart and pockets for our dear friend, Mark. If you know of someone who can provide Mark with a place to stay for a while, he would be ever so grateful. He is currently residing in La Habra, California. If you are able to help with a place to for Mark to live, he is willing to relocate.
We thank you for any support you may be able to provide.
