Urgent: Help Brandy save her home and all of the memories

Donation protected
Hello,

My name is Brandy.

I am humbled to ask for financial assistance as I am out of options and days away from losing my residence of 20 years.

In 2015, I had everything I wanted. I had my Master's Degree, my dream job, my soul mate, family, friends, and financial stability. I felt grateful and blessed.

Then one morning, Tony woke up with a headache and was gone several days later due to a sudden brain bleed. He passed away at the hospital where I worked, and my whole life changed forever.

Nine months later, I left my job for a new start. I took whatever job I could find to hold on to the place where all of our memories were made.

Two years later, I met someone new. I felt like I was being given a second chance. However, 6 months after that, he was diagnosed with cancer and he passed away two years ago on Valentine's day.

I picked up a graveyard job at a motel when he started chemo and financially, we were struggling.

After he passed, I took whatever work I could find to stay afloat.

I currently work part-time and just had one more month before my second summer job would start and I would be ahead again and able to start putting some money aside.

However, in April, I got Shingles and was sick for weeks. Not long after recovering, I came down with Shingles again. I scraped to keep my home just until the end of July when I would start full-time work again. However, being sick really set me back. I have $23 to my name and have sold everything I can sell (my couch, bed, clothes, furniture, etc). I have nothing left.

I need $2,000 within the next 5 days or I will lose my home, my 20-year rental history, and the memories that live within these walls.

My heart is breaking and my soul is tired. I am reaching out to anyone who can help. Please save the only home I've known with Tony. I am even willing to pay you back when I get back on my feet. I have worked my entire life and am not afraid to work hard. I started stacking wood at 6 years old. For the first time in my life, I am out of options and am reaching out with a heart full of humility.

I never realized how fast life can change and how easily everything can be gone while you're making other plans. I just need a chance to start over. Please.

Sincerely,
Brandy
