Support Donna's Journey to a New Home

Hello. My name is Donna and I live in Central NE Missouri. It's very difficult for me to ask for help, but I've found myself in a situation that requires such action. Please allow me to explain...

3 years ago, my mother passed away and my 32-year-old son Andrew bought Mom's house in Vandalia, and I was living with him. Long story short, Andrew lost his job and the house. It was such a burden on him that he chose to end his life. Andrew was 35. I discovered him upstairs with a single gunshot to his head. It was the single most devastating event of my 62 years, and I've lived in a fog of grief since. My son was greatly loved by everyone who knew him, and he covered his pain so well, it was a tragic shock to all of us. I've been left with his debt and I have to move; the house has been sold. For the first time in my life, I am all on my own. No parents, spouse, or children left to assist or offer emotional support. It's a very strange feeling. It's like, here I am at 62, and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. It's surreal.

And that's what brings me here to plead my dilemma to all the good people reading this.

I am on a very limited income with Social Security Disability and can't find anything to rent that I can afford. After much prayer and contemplation, I have concluded the most reasonable and cost-worthy approach is to buy a nice used motor home/RV and downsize like crazy. Time is critical, as I must be moved out by Aug 31. Honestly, it's only by the grace of God that I've been able to stay in our home this long. This is why I've asked for $8000, to buy an RV to live, work, and travel in, and for moving expenses. With the rental problems here, I'm not left with a buffet of choices. But being a gypsy at heart, it feels like the right decision. It's always been a dream of mine, but I never thought it'd be forced upon me due to unforeseen and tragic circumstances.

I sincerely thank all of you reading this, for your time. I humbly ask you to consider my request and help donate, if able to do so.

With blessings of gratitude and love, Donna J Lowe Vandalia MO
