Luke’s Homeless Journey

Update:

12/27/23

Luke has been working with Easter Seals for over a month now. They are helping him with his anxiety and depression. They also will be helping him find a job after his medication is working,

He has a therapist and psychiatrist. He even has a great case worker.

He still needs help with where he is living. Easter Seals doesn’t help with rent payments.

We are not able to help with his rental money anymore. He is at MainStay Suites still.

Thank you so very much for your generous donations for Luke.

Hi, I am creating this Go Fund Me for my friend, Luke.

Luke and I met over 5 years ago.

His mom was seeing a neurologist at the Memorial Neuroscience Center in Owosso.

I knew her neurologist from Yoga Moves MS. I had also just started seeing my new neurologist there.

Luke was his Mom’s caregiver.

Living with the disease of Multiple Sclerosis and hearing about everything his mom was going through really touched my heart.

In 2021 Luke’s Mom needed to move into a nursing home.

This left Luke homeless.

Fortunately he began staying with a good friend of his. He had a place to live until August, 2023.

Today he is staying at Mainstay Suites in Auburn Hills.

We paid for his first week. He received help from Church of the Advent in Lake Orion for another week.

Luke has been making calls regarding food, clothing, Doctors and housing help in Oakland County. He is also looking for a job. He has learned that he can use Smart Lift for rides since he doesn’t have a car.

It takes time for everything to come together.

My hope is to help him stay at the Mainstay Suites while he gets settled and finds his way in Oakland County.

Luke is a very kind and thoughtful friend. He has offered me kindness, humor, and prayers for everything I go through with multiple sclerosis. Even during some of his hardest days.
