Help Rhonda and Jackson Stay Warm

Hi, I'm Rhonda and this is my dog Jackson.

My furnace needs replaced this winter and I can't afford to buy a new one. I have a lot of health problems, which is why I lost my job and am now disabled. The disability check I receive every month just barely covers my ability to meet basic monthly needs and pay medical bills.

When I lost my job, my house needed a lot of repairs. The roof leaks, there is an unfinished space that needs drywalled. The main problem right now is the furnace. I have not been able to find a shelter that me and my dog can go to. My whole life I have tried to helped others, but now there is no one I can ask for help. I want to finish my house, so that it feels like my home. I have had Jackson for 12 years; he is all I have.

I have always been a very independent person. Since I got sick, almost two decades ago, I've been doing what I could to finish this work. Currently I'm not able to do any thing more because I no longer have the financial means to.

I have been struggling to survive. I would truly appreciate any help that is given.

Thank you so much for helping me to see there is still reason to have hope and there are still people who care about others.
