My name is Matthew Garland. I am an elementary educator in Austin, Texas. On Wednesday, I went to the laundromat and found the following message posted on the bulletin board:

Please read this,

I am an 83 year-old male looking for a place or room to rent by the month. My needs are very few. I will share a bathroom facilities (sic) as is neccesary. I have my own mini-refrigerator, my own oven and the few dishes needed.

I do not own a car and that is my reason to move to a place closer to a bus stop.

Despite my age I am not a burden and get by without assistance. My only problem is transportation.

My social security and my food stamp benefits are adequate. It is the high rents that I simply cannot afford. I need a place at no higher than $400.00 per month. Please call Robert at (512)XXX-XXXX if you can help.

Thank you

This Go Fund me is to help raise funds to alleviate Robert's struggle to find housing. All money raised will be given to Robert to do as he sees fit. At the completion of this fund raiser I will present Robert with a ashier's check for the full amount raised. I hope you consider helping.

Thanks!
