Hi, I'm Chuck Lowe. Just three weeks ago, my world was shattered by the sudden and tragic loss of my oldest son. On top of this unbearable grief, an unthinkable second tragedy struck: my home of many many years burned, a total and complete loss.

At 68 years old, and living with significant medical issues that require me to be in oxygen, I'm now facing the task of rebuilding my life from scratch. Everything I owned and every memory is gone.

I'm reaching out for urgent help to secure a safe plane to live, live a valley or small modular home, so I can begin to heal and navigate my medical issues without the constant stress of homelessness. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in helpings me get back on my feet during this incredibly difficult time.

• Thank you for your kindness, your compassion and willingness to help.
