Help the Nelson family Secure Housing

Donation protected
The Nelson family needs your help secure the deposit of a new place after receiving an eviction notice on their current housing. Jennifer (mom), Ron (dad), Veronica and Ben are asking for their community’s help. This is urgent as they will be homeless in 10 days. 

The Nelson family have experienced their unfair share of heartbreak and tragedy in their time as a unit. 

Shortly after moving to Colorado, in 2013, they lost their oldest daughter Wiyanna at 19 in the historic Boulder floods. Because of the relief limits, the Nelson family received no grief assistance. Jennifer lost her job in healthcare due to this and is now maintaining a family of 4 on her minimum wage income from a local coffee chain. Just months after the floods, dad became disabled and is in the long, tedious process of attempting to receive disability. 

It’s been 10 years since the floods and they have caught no breaks as a family.  We are hoping the community can help get them to a place that they are able to breath again. 

This GoFundMe was started by Wiyanna’s friends in the hopes we can help our friends’ family.
