Help our neighbors move and STAY HOUSED

Hi, our names are Molly and Stacy and we are raising funds for our elder neighbor and his son in Seattle to STAY HOUSED. They must move to California ASAP during a housing emergency and after the recent death of their beloved wife and mother, Gwen. With the imminent sale of their rental home, this family needs to move urgently. They need help with funds to get their home packed and a truck driven from Seattle to Uplands, California where they have family waiting. The estimated costs to stabilize and move are:

  • $1,500 for this months rent,
  • $15,000 for the packing and moving, and an additional
  • $5,000 for settling in with family.

Thomas Senior is 81 years old and has serious heart issues that need close attention. He has just said goodbye to his wife of many years after caring for her through a long battle with cancer. Thomas Junior is in his mid 30s but has needed help , as long as I can remember, from his parents in navigating jobs and life skills. We have lived next door to Thomas Sr. , Gwen and Thomas Jr for more than 15 years and have always been greeted with kindness, big smiles and invitations to visit their fish tank and indoor house garden with our children. We have shared recipes for fried green tomatoes, tips on growing vegetables and offers of help in the garden and fishing excursions.

Please donate as soon as possible to help this family stay on their feet and prevent them from losing a place to live. If they move and have a financial cushion when they arrive, they will be OK. Their family in California is setting up health care for Thomas Sr. now and will need help getting into a larger apartment once they arrive.

It means the world to them to have an opportunity to move and STAY HOUSED. Please donate what you can today. Every little bit makes a difference.
