Time Is Running Out

Donation protected
I only have a few more days for this campaign. I made this Go Fund Me account in order to help a truly good person who has always helped others her whole life. Not much is happening. We've only managed just a few donations. Don't get me wrong we are GRATEFUL for our donations but we are not even close to our goal. Good hearted people, I know you're out there, please take a look at this. She is such a loving and dear person. She deserves a break. If you want legitimacy just message me on Facebook. I'll call you and answer any questions. PLEASE help Marla $3 from everyone, can you imagine?

Please share this link. Thank you

Hello, my name is Marla. I am a very nice, middle-aged lady. I live in Hypoluxo, Florida. I need help in the worst way. I can't believe that I'm here on Go Fund Me but I honestly don't know what else to do.

I have a long story which I will gladly type out for you. I will start with the bare facts, short and sweet for those people that don't want to hear another long story.

I am raising money to move to a new apartment after several years of insane hardship. I ran away from a horrid, abusive relationship and have lost everything that I own.

I have been working and have saved $1800. I have to find a place and have it rented by May 17. First, last, security, electric and some food. I have a bed and dresser. I need to be out of where I am by the end of May.

If I don't find help I will lose everything that I've worked so hard to achieve since I got away from him. I will get stuck in an expensive cheap motel and most likely eventually worse than that. I will lose my cat who keeps me going when I feel like giving up. I am really scared.

If any kind people will help me I PROMISE to pay it forward. I always have. My whole life I've been helping other people and animals. I'll never stop.

I am a very strong person. I'm saying this first because although my present circumstances are bad and I feel so scared, I am not a victim. I have had a very nice life before all of this happened. I am trying so hard to get my life back. I'm a good woman and I'm absolutely begging you for help.

My story:

For the last few years I have been clawing my way back from being a victim of an extremely violent relationship with a cowardly and horrible man. I lost everything that I own and have had to start over. Surviving the last few years and staying a good person has been the hardest thing that I haver done. I'm still here!!!!

Being a woman with no money, on the road going from one small town to another, looking for work. You can only imagine the badness that I've seen. Negative people are out there and they are drawn to people who are having problems. I stayed to myself. I was even in a homeless shelter. Mostly, I traded housekeeping for lodging or when I found work, rented rooms in other peoples homes from Craigs List. I have seen so much BADNESS. Look though, I'M STILL HERE and I'M STILL A GOOD PERSON.

(Please, before anyone takes offense, I am not saying that being homeless makes people bad people. Not at all.)

Again, I am strong and I have survived. I am actually very proud of myself for making it to the point that I am at now. I am so close to being normal again OR, I could wind up losing everything that I have accomplished so far. I could wind up in a homeless shelter. I don't think that I would survive that. I would lose my cat. That may sound funny to you but honestly, I am here today because of that cat. She is a dear little thing that God sent to me eight months ago when I started being more stable and she keeps me going. She is my best friend. Animal people will understand that.

I have no family. I could not carry children. My mother passed away in 2001 and I buried my father three months ago, no brothers or sisters, aunts and uncles are all deceased as well. My father suffered from dementia before he died and left his estate in a shambles. There was no estate. I am truly alone.

Four months ago Dad said that he needed me and invited me to come to his house to help him. Little did I know that I was coming home to say goodbye. Dad and I had always been very close but due to his mental issues he was very angry at me and the rest of the world and his help was not available to me in any way all during my ordeal. As I said, he is gone now. I trust that when my time comes that we can pick up where we left off before he got sick. He was my best friend my whole life. I miss him terribly. I can't express how much.

After Dad died Immediately got a decent job. His wife has allowed me to stay here for only $200 per month until the lease is over at the end of May. She also gave me a bed and dresser and some sheets for the bed.

I made friends with a realtor who said that as soon as I have cash she will find me something in Broward county where things are cheaper.

That's my story. I'm so close. Please don't let Milly (cat) and I fall through the cracks. I have nobody to ask for help. I promise to be grateful and pay it forward. I will never forget this experience. I have learned so many lessons about life and the human condition. I have gained a new understanding for others.

Thank you so much.
