My name is Marvin E Allen, and I am a veteran who has faced many challenges in recent years. After leaving my mother’s home due to her struggles with managing bills, I found myself homeless for four years. During that time, I battled addiction, but I made the decision to seek treatment and successfully graduated from the program. My journey has not been easy, but I am committed to building a better future for myself and my family.

After completing treatment, I returned to Gary, IN to care for my 84-year-old mother. She is in poor health and can barely walk, and her home has become infested with mice and roaches. On top of these difficult living conditions, we are now facing a large utility bill with a disconnection date coming up soon. Without help, we risk losing power and heat, making our situation even more desperate.

Your support can make a real difference for us. The funds raised will go toward paying off the urgent utility bill, helping us secure a safe and stable place to live, and addressing the unhealthy conditions in our home. Any help you can offer will bring hope to our family and give us the chance to start over. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
