Well I never thought it would come to this. Me begging like Oliver. Except I do not need gruel. What I need is grueling labor. My name is Katrina. Many of you know me as that weird cat lady. But friends, relatives, I could use some help. Though I know these things never work (lol) I am trying to raise some money for the following:

1. Desperately needed home repairs. (See those pics!)

2. Costs for an exterminator (assessment fee $140 before service costs) because my house is full of mice. And there is a large animal stuck inside my wall and I need to pay to have rescued.

3. I need to pay to fix the heat in and under my trailer. Apparently there are no ducts going to the back of the house and these need to be purchased. And the place where it comes out under there needs repair because someone put a tarp under there to try to push the heat back up under the floor instead of actually fixing it leading to a dangerous fire hazard.

3. I need many supplies to block off access to the mice and bugs as well as keeping the cold from coming in through theany many cracks, gaps, and holes. Almost the entire trailer is missing its trim and some rooms need to be repainted. The master bedroom and bathroom, disgusting hallway, and two other ros need to have the paper flooring peeled off and redone with something better, re trimmed with hardewire mesh and trimmed with metal to keep the mice from eating up through the floor. There are also some large holes in the walls that need to be mended.

4. The broken washer and dryer need to be removed so the floor beneath it and wall around it can be repaired and cleaned.

5. A new (to me) low energy washer and dryer. The gas and heating bill have grown to nearly 400 dollars due to age, improper repairs and installation.

6. My car needs break repairs and possibly some tires before it can be driven again. I am not quite ready yet with my memory loss and anxiety issues but I will need it available when I go back to work.

I am truly sorry and ashamed to bring my burdens to you. I simply don't have the mental or monetary ability to resolve all of this alone. Circumstances in my life have led to a bit of a slow down in the financial department. I will try not to do a whole sob story thing but mental illness forced me to temporarily quit my job in the fall. I am still recovering and trying to get on the right medications before spring as I plan on working again then. I do receive SSDI, however it is just enough to cover my bills and I have been trying to make do with what I had. However now there are a number of issues that need immediate address. I am slowly working to make the house a place for living and visiting but a heart condition prevents me from being able to do things like stand for too long, sweep or mop with an elevated heart rate, and even get out of bed sometimes. That and my mental health has been a rollar coaster as I adjust. So while I would like to do a lot of the work by myself, I cannot.

So please if you have money which may easily parted with or even advice, skills, or supplies, please consider donating. Maybe just sharing the link on your page! I do hope to compensate anyone who asks in any way I am able. I am hoping soon to produce all natural, low allergy dog and cat treats. So maybe you would like some of those. Maybe I could help you non monetarily with something you are in need of. I am open to discussion.

To cut costs I may be also inviting someone to live free for a few months in the guest bedroom and pay rent through helping me do repairs. So if you have someone in mind please let me know. Thank you

Thank you so much anyone who even just takes the time to read this. I know times are tough and money is tight. I appreciate your friendship, love and guidence and, as always, extend the same to you.

(BTW I also have a vnmo if that works easier)
