Leslie Wylie

My name is Leslie, and I never thought I’d find myself in this situation. Not long ago, I was on life support, fighting for my life. When I woke up, everything had changed—I had lost my home, my car, and suddenly, I was left with nowhere to go. Now, I’m homeless and staying in the woods, doing my best to stay safe and hopeful each day. It’s just me out here, and while I have faith that things can get better, it’s been incredibly hard to keep going on my own. Having a car would change everything for me. I wouldn’t have to walk in the rain or ask strangers for rides just to get to my doctor appointments. I could look for a place to live and start rebuilding my life. Even something as simple as a tent would help me feel safer at night. I’m not used to asking for help, but right now, I truly need it. Any support—big or small—would mean the world to me and help me get back on my feet. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I am grateful for any kindness or support you can offer. With your help, I hope to find safety, stability, and a chance to start over.

I recently came off life support in September after a stroke. Since then, my life has been turned upside down. I lost my home and my car, and for the past two and a half years, I've been living in the woods and on the street. Every day is a struggle just to find a safe place to sleep or something to eat. Sometimes, I have to stay in parks with bathrooms and lock the doors just to feel a little safer. It's scary, and I never imagined I'd be in this situation. I need help to get back on my feet. Donations will help me find a place to live, even just a one-bedroom, and give me a way to get around so I can go to the doctor. I also need food, shoes, hygiene supplies, bedding, and even a tent to help me stay safe. I don't like asking for help, but this time I really am. Anything will help, and I appreciate any support to help me start rebuilding my life. Thank you so much.

My name is Leslie, and I am reaching out for help to get back on my feet after losing everything. I became homeless when my daughter and her boyfriend got me kicked out of my apartment, where I had lived for 22 years. Since then, I have been living in tents, walking everywhere just to find food, showers, and a safe place to sleep. Life has been overwhelming, and I recently came out of a coma with ongoing heart problems. I have no family to turn to, and my daughter is now in prison. Every day is a struggle, and I often feel alone and exhausted. I am not a drug user or alcoholic—I simply lost my home and have nowhere else to go. My hope is to move back to my hometown, North Myrtle, where I can start over and rebuild my life. The funds raised will help me get a reliable vehicle so I don't have to walk everywhere, secure a place to live, and cover moving expenses. I know that with a little help, I can move forward and leave the past behind. I'm asking for support from anyone who can help. It doesn't have to be anything fancy—just enough to help me put things together and get back to a place where I feel safe and hopeful. Your kindness will give me a chance to start over, move back to my hometown, and find happiness again. Thank you for considering my story and for any support you can offer.
