Restore Hope for Uncle Jesse's Future

A Heartfelt Plea for Help: Uncle Jesse's Story

Dear Friends, Family, and Compassionate Strangers,

My name is Casey, and today, I find myself in an incredibly personal and heartbreaking situation that compels me to reach out to you for help.

Let me tell you about my Uncle Jesse Jones. At 64 years old, Jesse is a kind-hearted man who has faced unimaginable hardships. He is illiterate and has depended on family to care for him throughout his life. Tragically, he has lost nearly everyone he loved. In 2015, my grandmother passed away from bone cancer, leaving Jesse vulnerable and alone. In 2020, my aunt succumbed to Covid, and just last year, my cousin was killed in a tragic accident. Each loss has deepened Jesse's isolation, and now he faces the terrifying prospect of losing the only home he has ever known.

Jesse lives in a modest house in Plainfield, WI, which was left to him and my late aunt by my grandmother. This home, once filled with laughter and love, has become a source of despair. Due to my aunt's hidden struggles with addiction, unpaid property taxes and a lien have accumulated, totaling $19,500. Jesse, unaware of the financial turmoil, is now at risk of losing everything. He has no idea that the home he cherishes is slipping away from him.

Currently, Jesse receives only $450 a month from a roommate, which barely covers his basic utilities. He relies on food stamps for meals, but the house itself is crumbling around him. The roof leaks, damaging the walls inside. The plumbing and electrical systems are outdated, and he has no working stove or oven to prepare meals. The thought of Jesse being evicted from his home, the only safe haven he has left, fills me with despair.

Time is not on our side. We have just 90 days before eviction proceedings begin, and I am terrified that we will lose him. I have exhausted my resources, contributing $3,000 of my own savings and working tirelessly to help him apply for SSI benefits, but I fear it may take too long for him to receive any assistance. As I care for my elderly mother-in-law and my own parents, I feel overwhelmed and desperate to save Jesse from this devastating fate.

I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, asking for your support through this GoFundMe campaign. We need to raise $30,000 to cover the back taxes, the lien on the property, and essential repairs to make Jesse's home safe and livable once again.

Every dollar counts, and your generosity can help restore hope to a man who has faced so much loss and hardship. Imagine the relief on Jesse's face when he realizes that he will not be evicted, that he can stay in the home that holds his memories and provides him with a sense of security.

Please consider donating and sharing this story with your network. Together, we can make a difference in Jesse's life and ensure that he has a safe place to call home.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my Uncle Jesse. Your kindness and support could mean the world to him and to our family.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Casey
