A Worthy Charity. Helping a Retired Lady Living on Social Security Make Ends Meet. The Rent on Her Trailer Space Just Increased... For No Reason...

Greedy Landlords... 


My name is Kathleen.  I'm 77 years of age and have struggled with left side paralysis (hemiplegic) for the last 28 years. I am now facing eviction from my (owned) Mobile home where I have lived for the last 27 years because I can no longer stretch my monthly Social Security income to cover yet another, space-rent increase.

I have no family or close friends to which I can turn for help in this frightful situation and am getting closer to eviction every day. I'm in the process of selling all I can just to meet monthly financial demands and I'm preparing to live in my car with my tiny dog and two kitties which will be a huge hardship, should it come to that. I hope to outlive my pets so I can take care of them for the duration of their sweet little lives. Parting with any of my little animal companions is not an option, we are family.

A friend suggested I start a GoFundMe campaign so here I am now trusting that kindness will show itself through the benevolence of even total strangers to help me cover the rent increase on my mobile home, space.

My primary employment the last 20 years I worked, was as a CNA.  Ironically, I cared, daily, for several stroke victims and always enjoyed helping those that need it most.

I've written to the (Provo, UT) mobile home park owners about possibly "grandfathering" me--by not continually raising my space-rent. Especially, since I’ve been here longer than they have own it, any other resident or various managers. Plus, at my age with physical limitations, how much longer can I live? However, they’re curt reply confirmed their only concern is their own bottom line and market values.

The money figure above this story is only an arditratry amount necessary to fill in that field.  So far, a few long time cyber-acquaintances have donated to me, for which I am extremely appreciative. However, eviction still looms closer every day and now my leaky roof is causing the ceiling to fall in. And, before Summer, I hope I can also get the AC working in my old car. So with no other alternative, this is my GoFundMe, campaign.

I'm hoping home-community-acquaintances or even total strangers, will at least help by spreading my campaign (URL) on social media platforms like FB, Instagram, Twitter, etc. (I'm not on any of these for need of mental rest).  But this is supposed to work by spreading the word, far and wide. (I assume there's a place, here, to help you do that).

Thank you for taking your time to read this. I'm seeking your undeserved kindness and compassionate consideration of my need.

Sincerely yours,

Kathleen
