HI, my name is Fran and I am raising funds to help my friends Vivian and Albert. (Vivian is a long-time member of Zele, the Kitka community chorus, which is shown in the picture.) They have hit a hard patch and have been doing everything they can to fix their situation. Their landlord told them that they would have to leave their rental home because it is being sold. Vivian lost her long-time job, and Albert is on SSDI.

They have exhausted their savings. Al is looking for some work as a musician, he can't work much or he risks loosing his benefits. Vivian is working at Homes 4 the Homeless as the program coordinator.

They live in Cotati, in the North Bay. They are about to receive a housing voucher, Section 8, but until that time they will have to find temporary housing. They are able to receive one-time financial gifts.

Anything you can provide, job suggestions, or funds to give them a financial cushion would be appreciated.
