Richard McCabe

My name is Richard, I'm 72 years old, and Ive never felt more alone in my whole life. I'm now the sole survivor of my family, having lost my 3 siblings and parents over the years and most recently. My only closest friend and neighbor passed away a few years ago. I was able to work up until a year ago. Now, I can't physically, due to ailments that arise in someone my age. I now live in what was my parents home. I'm being threatened with eviction from my home for not being able to pay past due property taxes. Over 2,500 dollars. I collect social security, but it barely covers all monthly expenses and utilities. I'm scared because of what might happen to me. I live in the Blue Ridge mountain region of Virginia. Very remote and with distant neighbors I barely know. This home used to be a gathering place for holidays, birthdays or just for visiting. That's all over now. So quiet and empty. I have my four cats, which I love dearly. They are like family to me now. I had others which I lost in the past year and half to blood diseases, cancer and old age. A joyful little dog named Buffy, also left me. The pain of all the ones I've lost can't be measured. There's no one to share it with. I have about a month, maybe two, to pay the 2,500 dollars in back taxes before I lose my home. I need about 600 dollars to replace my water heater that burnt out 2 months ago. Need about 400 dollars for surgery for one of my cats to have bladder stones removed or he'll die soon. I can make decent money and work at home on my computer. I need about 400 dollars to get started doing copy writing. Please donate today to help me reach my goal. It would be a great help to share this fundraiser with others. I've been an animal lover my whole life. I suppose its their innocence, curiosity about people and non-judgemental demeanor are a few of their qualities that make them Gods gift to the Earth. One night driving home, I saw a baby fawn on the side of the road standing by its mother. Looking confused and lost. She had been hit by a car and was killed. Today, I feel like that baby fawn. I urgently need help. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to hear my words. I openly invite your support. A contribution of any size would be greatly appreciated. God bless you all.
