Hello, my name is Samuel Jones. I'm in immediate danger of losing my family home of 47 years to foreclosure. This house means everything to me. From over decorating on holidays to family BBQs. It's the house I grew up in and have never left. The back yard is full of my dad's fruit trees and my mom's huge gorgeous wisteria. It's also the final resting place of dozens of pets through my life. It's the house I lay near my father as he passed away. This home is very special and important to me. It's part of me and I'm part of it.
My father passed away in 2018, a year after my mother and grandmother. So the mortgage became my responsibility. Unfortunately I'm disabled and no longer able to work. I have emphysema and it has progressed to me having to use a cane as I can no longer walk more than 20 feet without gasping. Small tasks such as bringing a few grocery bags takes a half hour and then 20 minutes recovery time. I also use the cane for balance as I also have a brain tumor. It's on top of my pituitary and causes problems with balance, swallowing, and eye alignment. In addition I have a bad knee requiring surgery and stage 2 kidney disease. I constantly feel sick and can't do much without getting immediately exhausted.
These issues would make it impossible to pack and move
I also have suffered my entire life from several mental conditions. Anxiety, physical anxiety, social anxiety, severe panic attacks and clinical depression. These make leaving my home impossible. I grocery shop and pick up prescriptions maybe twice a month. This home is my safe place and spiritual base. My mental health caused me to miss so much growing up. Now I pray for a miracle. To be able to stay in my home until my illnesses come to their conclusions.
This is where I need your help. A gap between the end of my savings and being awarded SSI opened and caused me to fall behind on the mortgage payments. Now with SSI I can make my monthly payments however the bank won't allow me to. They require the entire overdue amount to be paid to reinstate the loan. A letter with a sale date could come any day from the bank. Would you please consider giving as much as you can? It's a desperate emergency for me. I need to raise at least 9000 as soon as possible.. Please consider sharing this where you can.
If you can help me make a miracle, I would be forever grateful. I just need help getting back on track. SSI can cover my payments and I intend to go back to being a professional artist. Painting is something both my mental and physical health will allow. I was successful before my family passed away and am confident that selling art would help to bolster my financial situation.
So I have a plan but I need a miracle. I need your help.
Please please help if you can. My mental and physical disabilities make it impossible for me to lose my home. I can't survive without my home.
Thank you so much for considering my plea. Let's make a miracle happen.
