Urgent Help 80 yr old retiree in jeopardy of losing home
Donation protected
I'm Roberta an 80 yr old Retiree in jeopardy of losing my home. As a last resort I am humbly asking for help, but I have also decided to go back to work. I aim to raise funds for immediate expenses for unexpected ongoing medical follow up expenses, and emergency Condo Special Assessments as I look for more work. I realize that there is so much tragedy going on in the world and not everyone can be helped but if you can spare $5 it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again.
I have been struggling for the past 2 years, having had 4 surgeries in the last four yrs. I also developed a rare condition (Brachial Plexus) after getting a flu shot directly after my last surgery while in the hospital. I will need ongoing medical care and PT. I was recently unexpectantly hit with a $250,000 condo special assessment (to be shared with 30 other owners), for an underground burst waterpipe, under our outdoor driveway, which happened in February. We had no water for a whole week. I would like to find remote work that is lawful and pays a decent wage.
I am currently working remote market research surveys which unfortunately is not paying much.
I have always been generous with my time, funds, and volunteering to help others in need, and causes that are dear to me, especially Homeless children. I was always taught to work hard, save my money, and pay my bills and to help and be compassionate to others. I am sorry to now be in this position. Unfortunately, at my age I don't have a social media presence, but I have reached out to family and friends independently. I understand this is a hard time for everyone, but would appreciate any leads on jobs, or donations no matter how minimal. Thank you so much for your time.
