**the goal was increased due to Lee pricing used mobile homes and realizing the need to pay the taxes. The story was changed due to harassment via messages **
Welcome to our fundraiser for Lee Fogarty. Firstly, I'd like to thank you for taking time out of your day to read this story. We are raising money to get a very loving lady and her equally loving dog into permanent, comfortable housing finally.
Lee has physical health complications as well. She lives with daily pain due to acute arthritis in her back and neck. The stress of daily life conditions increased her pain levels, making her feel it was hard to even breathe without feeling hot, stabbing pain. Migraines and headaches became daily companions to this lady.
Lee, for some reason collects less than $300 from Social Security so it was nearly impossible to save enough funds to move out of this mess. After what seemed like forever, Lee had put away a couple hundred towards moving from her checks and birthday monies.
A very special group of friends that have become like a family to Lee, held a private fundraiser and raised $200. These were people from a very tight knit private Facebook Group. One of the members of the group came forward and was working on moving Lee out of the situation and finding housing for Lee and her dog. Lee would be lost with Tinde'. She found her in a kill shelter and brought her home. Lee says "Some say I rescued her, but truthfully...she rescued me!"
Lee can't afford to live in the mobile home she is in after a roommate moved out unannounced on her own. She needs to move soon. She's unable to work due to physical limitations and as I mentioned her disability is less than $300 a month.
Now Lee and Tinde' needs to find their forever home.
Lee does have some goals and good things going on to report on!
*Medical- Lee hasn't seen a doctor in decades and now finally has health insurance and will be seeing one soon!
*Lee is applying for better benefits via Social Security. She is certainly eligible for more than $300 a month and is in the process of getting this fixed.
*Lee wants to buy a fixer-upper mobile home for her and Tinde to call a forever home!
If you've read this far, Thank YOU! Lee really needs our help now. She can't make a move on such a small income and straighten it out may take awhile. Meanwhile she cannot pay the current bills on the "shared" mobile home in Indiana. Lee is a very humble woman and would never ask for this sort of help, therefore friends are stepping in to put together this fundraiser. She has a heart of gold and would help anyone.
The monies raised are going towards the purchase and repair of a mobile home for them to call their own!
Please consider donating to help Lee not be a statistic on the street. Having to send Tinde' away would literally break her heart. We want to keep them together, fed and warm with a place to call home! Every. Single. Dollar. counts. Don't feel awful or silly if you can only contribute even $1.00.. It all adds up. Thanks again for your time. We are sending each one of you out there much love!
Lee
