Hi, my name is Tracy Waltenburg, and I was laid off from my job in April 2025. I also started to have health issues that have made it difficult to successfully job hunt.

I had two interviews in May that didn't go anywhere. I wasn't able to get on unemployment.

I need the following in order to avoid becoming homeless along with losing my cellphone and everything that I own.

My rent is $850.00 per month. I currently rent a room in a townhouse which I share with two other roommates. I'm currently paid up until Sept 1st.

My cellphone is $70.00, which is paid up until Aug 13th, and I will need money to keep it on.

My storage unit is $265.00, which is paid up until Sept 1st. There will be a $55.00 late fee added if I'm not able to make the payment on the 1st of the month. ***(As of Nov 1 there will be a rate increase to $316.00 per month with a late fee of $61.00 if payment not made on the 1st.)

Anything extra will go to food, water, and toiletries.

Now, I ended up going into the ER/hospital at least four times between Jun 19th and July 23rd, and it took that long to figure out that I had gallstones, which resulted in getting my gallbladder removed on July 24th. I'm now currently recovering in a nursing home.

Not sure how long I will be here to recover since I need to go through physical therapy to get back all my strength that I lost due to being sick for so long.

I humbly ask if you can donate any amount; it would be helpful. If you can keep me in your prayers and share this fundraiser, it would also be helpful.

Thank you for reading this.
