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.

41900800_1581450684120786_r.jpeg
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

Who could Possibly be in Favor of keeping Cannabis Illegal? Corporations that are in the business of incarceration.

legalize Cannabis

Law Enforcement makes money by arresting people, then warehousing them in jail. While ACTUAL crime is on the wane, cannabis arrests are easy and low risk. REAL criminals are often dangerous. Cannabis Criminals are Often Stoned... and easygoing...

and... all these people depend on Prohibition for their Paycheck...

Judges, lawyers, police, bail bondsmen, prison guards, construction workers that build prisons, social workers that talk to the families left behind, involuntary rehab clinics, fertilizer salesman, grow-light salesman, realtors that rent abandoned houses to be used as farms... There is a huge industry that will have sales reduced if Marijuana is legalized...

also...

Criminals depend on Marijuana being Illegal to Protect their Profits. With Legal Marijuana, the Mexican Mafia would be in deep trouble... Are they bribing Senators and Congressmen? We do not know because that money is in cash and not traceable...

WHAT CAN ONE PERSON DO TO HELP LEGALIZE CANNABIS?

Write a BLOG explaining the Case for Legalization... Post on Facebook... Post on Google+... Email tRUMP and your Representatives:



The US Government says Heroin is as Safe as Marijuana. 
That's a Lie. Both are Classified Schedule One... What are the Motives behind this Absurdity? Who Benefits?
legalize marijuana


Also... Corporations that make products that compete with hemp. Let's suppose the corporation makes paper, rope, cloth or medicine... Those businesses would lose sales to hemp. Who makes these products? The Koch Brothers. Paper Towels... Oil... Polymers...  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_Industries

and who makes Nylon Rope? Dupont.  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuPont

and who makes Cotton Clothes? www.cottoninc.com/ and www.uscotton.com/ if farmers made cloth from hemp... the cotton business would have increased competition...

and... Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Corporations. Imagine if a patient grew their own medicine? No profit for the pill makers... Some medicines are extremely addictive and dangerous to the health of the patients... All the makers of opium based medicines would face increased competition from the medical marijuana industry.  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pharmaceutical_companies

and... Recreational Drug Manufacturers... Beer, Wine and Whiskey... If there was FREEDOM OF CHOICE, many people would leave the booze on the shelf. No Cirrhosis, No Hangovers, No Traffic Fatalities...

and... The DEA seizes property...

and... The ATF sells guns to Mexican Drug Gangs. Operation Fast and Furious... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATF_gunwalking_scandal

That's who is in favor of keeping Cannabis Illegal. Follow the Money...

Legalize the Kind Herb. It is IMMORAL 
to put people in cages for a plant.

There ARE people that care about popularity of ideas. For Example: Politicians. They take the zeitgeist of the voters and craft their campaigns to echo what they hear. I believe the millions of Facebook posts promoting Legalization of Marijuana have an effect on laws. Keep on posting and emailing congress... Their jobs depend on voting for what is popular. Not all are paid puppets of the super rich.

What IS Bubble UP! Economics and How Does it Work? Simply Raise the Minimum Wage to Fifteen Dollars an Hour and that Money will Bubble UP! Throughout all levels of Society!

Everyone Who gets a Raise will spend the extra money at American Businesses. Increasing Profits. Making Stockholders Happy! Then those Businesses will have to Hire More People to Handle the Extra Customers. Decreasing Unemployment Insurance Payments. 

People will buy more food for their Children. Causing Better Health and Smarter Kids... Starvation is Not Good for Children or Other Living Things... Farmers will sell More Food. Truckers will move more merchandise to stores. 

Increased Competition for Workers will cause Everybody's Wages to Go Up. All those Workers will pay more in Income Taxes... That would make the Government happy... Right NOW, we are having a National Debt Ceiling Crisis because the Government is Spending More that it Takes in with Taxes... Bubble UP! Economics would reverse that trend... With a Rising Tide, Every Boat Floats! 

With EMPLOYMENT AT A JOB becoming a Viable Alternative to Selling Drugs for a Street Gang, Some teenagers will choose Employment... Reducing CRIME... Reducing Costs for Prisons... Reducing Costs for Law Enforcement... Everybody WINS!

"Some People" say that Businesses will have to let people go if they have to pay $15/hour. OBVIOUSLY FALSE. Businesses have ALREADY let everyone go that they possibly can. What! You think there are EXTRA Employees Sitting Around Doing Nothing? ABSURD!


Satire MEME - Fight for the Cure - COMPULSIVE HOARDING OF MONEY SYNDROME is an epidemic - Joke - silly- fake disease - OR IS IT?
Are You an OUT Of Control GREED FREAK? Get Help NOW!


So, Who Could Possibly be Opposed to all the JOY of Bubble UP! Economics? Well, there are people in this world that have COMPULSIVE HOARDING OF MONEY SYNDROME. It's a Mental Health Disease just Like The Crazy Cat Lady or People that save thousands of newspapers until their house is a maze of paths thru stacks of papers that they never read. People with CHOMS want more, more, more money even though they cannot possibly spend what they already have. Think about it, Once someone owns five mansions, what is the motivation to buy a SIXTH Mansion?  OH! That's right, it's a disease! COMPULSIVE HOARDING, of Money! However, We can Help these people... If you meet them, have a talk, explain that doing evil for money is not the best way to live life. Simple Conversations Can Have an Effect. Repetitive Conversations... It May Take Many, Many, Many Explanations because PEER Pressure is REAL... Currently, people with CHOMS are surrounded by Other Greed Freaks... Encouraging Evil Behavior as a Sick Game. I remember that Michael Milkin and Ivan Boesky competed to see who could win the most money on the stock market and they used DOLLARS AS A WAY TO KEEP SCORE. Then they went to prison... Well, Maybe we could talk to CHOMS Victims before they Get Arrested. And if not, maybe we can expose them in the press or online and help them by PUTTING THEM IN JAIL.  

For Example: The CEO of Dow Chemical makes a Pesticide (sulfoxaflor) that is Killing BEES. The EPA just ruled that they can continue to sell the pesticide if they just put a warning label on the side of the barrel... BUT BEES CAN'T READ! It is possible to GOOGLE Dow Chemical and find out Who the CEO is and Where He Lives... Maybe a person could get a Job as a Waiter at the Catering Company that serves his Mansion... Maybe they could ask him to stop Killing Bees? Tell Him: NO BEES, NO FOOD. MASS STARVATION... and even You Can't Eat Money...

BUT... There is Hope for the Future! Hey, If Katy Perry and Taylor Swift can bury the Hatchet and become friends, then anything is Possible. Maybe the 1% and the 99% Could stop fighting... Lions laying down with Lambs... It's All Possible... All you need is LOVE, La, la la la lah...
