Hello,

My name is Bill Floyd/but many know me as Gwyllm Llwydd, which I have used for my art projects for over 3 decades.

This past year has been very hard for me. In 2024, I had two falls—one injured my right hip, and the other, in late November, left me with a cracked rib. Soon after hurting my chest, I got a chest infection that led to ongoing lung problems. I was bedridden on and off for six months. Because of this, I couldn’t support my wife and myself as I used to. I lost work, and when I did find jobs in the summer, I could only manage half days or less because I was always exhausted.

Since then, things have become even more difficult. Right now, I can’t pay rent. bills

or afford to move somewhere cheaper. On top of my health problems, I also need a lot of dental work, which I’ve had to delay because I can’t afford it.

I am hoping to get us moved to a less expensive place, hopefully with a small backyard where I can regroup and recreate a business that is less arduous (I have been running a painting business since the late 1990s). I am looking for gainful employment as well.

Our SS doesn't cover rent, so work and selling my art have been our support. At this point, no one is hiring 74-year-old artists/painters.

How the Funds will be used:

The money raised from this GoFundMe will be used to help course-correct and establish a more sustainable living condition for my wife and me.

Currently, we are paying $2,600.00 a month for rent, excluding all utilities. To stay housed and to move in the next couple of months, we would need.

5200.00 2 months' rent at the present home to organize

4000.00 moving deposit (estimate based on first month and last month's rent.)

12000.00 Dental (Hopefully could be done in increments)

Funds raised here will help tide us over the next couple of months. This time will be used to find local support programs to assist with future rent and living costs, seek out a new home, and establish a new source of income that is more sustainable with my health and age.

Thanks Ever So Much:

Gwyllm/Bill
