Hi, my name is Wendi, and I am raising funds for ElLemuel, a registered non-profit organization currently waiting for charitable status. Our mission is to create affordable housing for low- to moderate-income individuals, families, and seniors. Every family deserves a safe place to call home—a space for stability, comfort, and the opportunity to build a brighter future. Unfortunately, rising living costs have made securing affordable housing increasingly difficult, leading to housing insecurity and hardship.
To address this urgent need, we are launching a new initiative to transform dilapidated homes and vacant properties into quality, affordable residences. Established on August 1, 2023, and officially launched in September 2024, ElLemuel aims to give back to society and create a better future for generations to come, with a current focus on Ontario.
Welcome to ElLemuel’s GoFundMe campaign! We are seeking to raise $250,000 to launch the first stage of our initiative, which is essential for getting started. However, our ultimate goal is to secure $1.5 million to acquire and develop properties. Together, we can provide housing and support services for those with low to moderate incomes, helping to create a brighter future for individuals facing housing challenges.
Our Mission:
At ElLemuel, we believe everyone deserves a safe and stable home. With your support, we can make this a reality for the working poor in our community who are struggling to find affordable housing.
How your Donation Makes an Impact:
Housing solutions: With your contribution, we can acquire and renovate neglected homes and develop new properties where families can live affordably and build brighter futures. These homes will offer more than just shelter—they'll provide a fresh start, a pathway to independence, and a supportive community for those in need.
Support Services: We will provide crucial support services, including financial education and mentorship, case planning etc. empowering individuals to break the cycle of poverty.
Why Your Support Matters:
Individuals with low to moderate incomes frequently face housing insecurity. Your donation will provide families and individuals with a stable place to call home, improving their well-being and strengthening the community. By transforming neglected spaces into affordable housing, we’re not only offering immediate shelter but also revitalizing neighborhoods and fostering supportive communities.
Transparent Fund Allocation:
We are committed to transparency. Here is a breakdown of how your donation will be used:
- 70%: Construction and maintenance of affordable housing units
- 20%: Support Services, financial education/mentorship, and job assistance programs
- 10%: Administration and operational cost
Your contributions will go directly toward:
Purchasing Properties: Your support will help us secure dilapidated homes and vacant lots ready for transformation.
Renovations and Repairs: From plumbing and electrical work to insulation and roofing, your support enables us to create safe, welcoming spaces.
Building New Affordable Units: When possible, we aim to develop entirely new structures, offering long-term housing solutions for more families in need.
Staffing for Project and Resident Support: Funds will go toward hiring essential staff, including project managers, skilled trades, and administrative support, to oversee renovations, manage property logistics, and coordinate community resources for residents.
