Dear community and friends,

My name is Savyy.

Today, I’m writing to you all from a very vulnerable place in my life and heart. It was with very careful thought and deep consideration that I have decided to reach out to you for something I have not asked for ever before: A significant financial support from others to save my home.

Please allow me to rewind to the path that has led to this moment -

I was adopted when I was a little girl by an amazing person - my father Ali. His presence was full of light that lit my heart with so much joy - he made my life rich with love and care.

Then one day 3 years ago the heavy storm began. My incredible dad Ali passed away unexpectedly and tragically in my arms from a stroke. In an instant my bright filled sky turned gray. Not only was the most important person in my entire world gone - I was now also alone to keep afloat financially.

For years I was working multiple jobs because I believe in being a hard working person and holding my own weight. Then my second hardship arose - a year ago I ended up being physically unable to work due to a terrible and damaging skin disease and a severe hand and back injury.

Almost a year in trying to solve this with EDD - with no end in sight and not a dollar received. Now my mortgage company is no longer being flexible with my payment options and have told me they have started the foreclosure process.

Ali was not only my father, he was the pillar of our household that he so selflessly welcomed others struggling at little to no cost to ensure they had a safe place. Prior to his passing he warmly opened the doors to our home to a lovely family of a husband, wife and 2 children (ages 1 and 6).

Now all 12 of us are at great risk right now to lose the roof over our heads… myself, the family that lives here, my two other tenants that are also kind, selfless, safe and tremendously hard working people as well as all of our rescue animals (4 cats & one Pyrenees dog). Our five precious little angel animals can also end up homeless and in a shelter if this house is lost. I am devastated and my heart breaks into a million pieces at the thought of the possibility of this happening to all of us. It keeps me up at night in tears…

With your support we have the possibility and hope to not become homeless. Your generosity would mean the world to us. Thank you so much for reading my plea letter. Your support both financially and emotionally can help save us and carry us through this time.

With love and gratitude,

Savvy
