Dear friends, family, and community,
I am reaching out today in a moment of urgent need. My name is Jessica Tayeb, and I have proudly called Savannah home since 1996. Right now, I am facing the terrifying reality of a 10-day eviction notice. Over the past year, I have been dealing with severe PTSD, which has made it incredibly challenging to work and has created a compounding financial hardship that has finally caught up to me.
The good news is that I have a clear path out of this—I just need a bridge to get there. I start a new job in exactly two weeks. Additionally, I am a caretaker for my sick mother and am legally owed back pay for this care, which is scheduled to arrive on June 24th. Because of the strict 10-day eviction timeline, I am facing homelessness just weeks before my financial relief arrives. I just need help surviving this final stretch.
Every dollar raised will go directly toward stopping the eviction process, including back rent, late fees, and basic living utilities to keep the lights and water on until my first new paycheck. As a small token of my gratitude, I would love to create a personalized painting or drawing for each individual who donates, made just for you by me. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this link. Spreading the word to the Savannah community means more to me than I can express. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my story, for your empathy, and for helping me stay safe and housed.
With deep gratitude,
Jessica Tayeb
