Support Noemi's Family Through Tough Times

Hi! I’m Noemi

I desperately need your help ASAP. Help me save my family's home.

After the passing of my father and dog Dawn, I’ve been sick and struggling to manage basic things like doctor visits, appointments, and paperwork. I tried the doctor on my insurance, and after a lot of back and forth, ended up doing an online consultation just to get the antibiotics I needed. The cycle of chasing care while being chronically ill and disabled has taken a toll and now, after all that, I’m facing something even scarier & uncertain

After needing to put Dawn to rest from a really bad tumor in her nose, I fell behind on my mortgage. I have the money to reinstate my mortgage and make it current, the full amount that is due plus attorney fees but they won’t take it.

Why? Because I’ve been late before in the last 12 months. They are “asking” to give them 3 months of pay stubs or bank statements showing that I can continue to pay for the house.

Because I’m a brown disabled single mom who’s spent the last 20 years taking care of others, my kids, my community, my parents. I’ve worked. I’ve made a living. But my income isn’t a neat line on a spreadsheet so I don't have a neat pdf to send.

They’re treating me poorly for not going in person. But I’m trying. I’ve been trying.

I’m disabled. I’ve been dealing with serious illness, asthma, and what was possibly a kidney injury that nearly landed me in the hospital again. I’ve applied for disability again, a process that can take years, and I take freelance work when there is work. Still, the system keeps asking for more than I have the capacity to give.

The goal is $5,000 to get back on my feet after sending that amount and meeting the reinstatement demands. (if they take it) $35,000 would pay off the full loan and end this cycle for good but like always, they don't care if the buyer is sick or lost a family member; they just want that loan money back

I’ve been told to go talk to this person or that person, email this person. But gosh, this is hard. After fighting for others' rights, my community, and my parents' health. I just want to rest and recover. Still, my kids are holding on, asking me not to give up. So I’m trying and will continue to try despite everything to take care of my home that is a protective bubble that allows me to manage my disabilities, take care of my disabled child and have a place for my family to come back to, and still contribute and work for my community as I once did. But the system wasn’t built for people like me. And I don’t want to be in survival mode anymore. I don’t want to be "resilient" all the time.

If/ have you ever felt like the system was rigged against you, you already know.

If you can help, I’d be grateful.

And if all you can do is share to get to more people

$5,000 will go directly toward recovering from the mortgage reinstatement, legal fees, and catching up on back pay.

$35,000 would pay off the home entirely (60,000 is with interest). This would end the exhausting cycle of instability and give me the chance to heal & grieve properly, care for my disabled child, and continue helping my community as I've done when I was in better health.

With love and hope,

Noemí
