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

I wish I Had Paid More Attention in High School English Class. Now that I'm Retired, I Write a Lot and Publish on a Blog/Social Media...

It would be really handy to Know Punctuation... I am really Confused because Punctuation in Computer Programming Languages Has a Totally Different Meaning... The Semi Colon is used to end every command... the DOT is Used Just before com in "Dot Com" etc, etc, etc... In English The DOT is used to end a sentence... and then there is CAPITALIZATION! I often use Capitalization to Express SIGNIFICANCE... Like, THIS CONCEPT IS VERY IMPORTANT! However, camelHumpLettering uses Capitalization to Mark the Beginning of a New Word When You Squish All The Words Together when Naming Variables... I justify My Bizarre Capitalization by Pretending My Words are a Guitar Solo and Capitalization is a Wah-Wah Pedal...

In English "/" Means Math Division... For Example: 5/4=1.25 or Alternatives... not a SUB FOLDER in a Disc Drive... http:// and... Why Do I Use So Many Triple dots?

Lucky For Me I Graduated fro College BEFORE The Invention of Smart Phones... Now People try to Use the Fewest Number of Letters Possible Because Entering Text is Annoying and Difficult... With a Typewriter or Computer Keyboard It's Possible to Use ALL TEN FINGERS... but on a phone Most people only use their thumbs... The Language is Now Filled with Acronyms... OMG, LOL, TMA, GTFO, IMHO and then The Reader Has to Look Up What the Acronyms Mean... TLDR... Just So You Know... TMA stands For Too Many Acronyms... DARPA, CIA, LSD, DMT, FBI, DOD, EIEIO... (~);-}

Great Show: Pirate Television - The Real Agenda of the American Empire by Ray McGovern, a CIA Analyst turned political activist and founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity

Ray McGovern is a former [Is anyone EVER former?] CIA Analyst who worked for the Agency for 27 years, spanning the terms of seven presidencies. As an analyst on foreign policy, McGovern was in charge of the daily briefings for senior White House officials. McGovern has just returned this week from a visit to Edward Snowden in Russia, delivering to him the Sam Adams Corner-Brighteneer Candlestick Holder Award, in recognition of his courage in shining light on the NSA. McGovern is well known for his attacks on what he sees as corruption in the CIA. He sees the damage done to the faith in intelligence work as profound, believing it will take years to correct. He hopes to see the CIA become again an entity independent from political administration. Since retiring, McGovern has become a constant presence on the national stage as an activist and renowned expert on the inner workings of American Empire.
Review by

This is a guy that you can count on to always tell the truth. There is sometimes a feeling I get that he may at times know more about a particular issue than he reveals but I feel this is only because of the line he is unable and unwilling to cross with his former intelligence agency oath and which I cannot blame him. His integrity and Patriotism to both his country and his former agency remain unblemished. A true Patriot of what remains of our Republic. Great two hour lecture and I strongly urge anyone who cares about where we are headed as a nation to watch both hours.

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.

The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.
