Ann Emsley

My name is Ann, and I’m 61 years old. My husband and I, along with our small dog, are currently living on the streets of Reno, NV. Life has been incredibly hard for us, especially as the weather gets colder and our health isn’t the best. I am disabled and receive SSI, and my husband, who is 54 and has diabetes, does his best to support us by working for DoorDash. Despite our efforts, it’s just not enough to get us off the streets and into a place to call home. We dream of having a safe, warm place where we can rest and our little dog can play without worry. The biggest challenge we face is coming up with enough money for deposits and first and last month’s rent. We simply can’t afford it on our own, and every day out here gets a little harder. It’s dangerous, and we worry about our health and safety all the time. We are reaching out to ask for your help. Your kindness and support would mean the world to us and could truly change our lives. If you are able to donate, we would be so grateful for any help you can give. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to read our story and for caring about our journey.

My name is Ann, and right now my husband, our dog, and I are living in our car in Reno. I’m 61 and disabled, and my husband is 54 and living with diabetes. He works hard delivering for DoorDash, and I receive SSI, but together it’s just not enough to get us indoors. Our car doesn’t have heat, and the nights are getting colder and harder to handle. We’re doing everything we can to stay safe and hopeful, but the challenges of living on the street are taking a toll on our health and well-being. My husband’s diabetes makes it even more difficult, and I worry every day about what the cold is doing to us and our dog. We’re reaching out for help because we want nothing more than to find a safe, warm place to stay and get back on our feet. We’re asking for support to help us get off the street and into a stable home. Any donation, no matter the size, would mean the world to us. If you can’t donate, sharing our fundraiser would be a huge help. Thank you so much for caring and for being part of our journey to a better, safer life.

My name is Ann. I live in my car. I can't seem to get into a place with just my SSI. My little dog has nowhere to play. It sucks living this way. Is there anyone willing to help with a small donation, please? Thank you and God bless. I'm 61 years old and my dog is 3. Her name is Sadie. We live in Reno, NV.

My name is Ann Emsley. I live in my car on the streets of Reno, NV with my man Kevin and our little girl dog, Sadie. We've been together for twenty-seven years. We've had our ups and downs. We are trying to become better Christians, at least we believe we are. Anyhow, we only have one steady income at the moment, and it's just not enough to put us indoors. We are asking the community to please help us with a small donation so we can get a place that's safe and warm. My little Sadie needs a place to run and play and have some security, and all of us can be stable. Never knowing where we are going or what we are doing is so tiring. We are so tired of living this way, so can somebody please give us some help by donating to our cause. Thank you all.

Help please, it's getting cold outside and I just can't get enough money at one time to get into a place. I'm 61 and have my dog, Saddis, and my husband of 27 years. We just need a small donation from the people of Reno, NV, or anyone that can help. Thank you and God bless you. Please send donations so we can live indoors.

I'm 61 years young and living on the streets in Nevada. I just can't do this alone. My money isn't enough to get us into a place. Please donate; anything will help. Thank you so much. I plan on getting into a place so my little dog has a place to run and play. She can't do that on the streets. We need help, please and thank you all.
