Emergency
Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name is Alda West, disabled widow. Currently homeless with my 14 year old dog. We're out of gas and dog food. I am fundraising for emergency living expenses and to move to another state. I need to raise $3,500 immediately to pay backdue bills and for car repairs and moving expenses.
I am disabled and applied for disability but not approved yet. Not receiving benefits. Its a long process. I lost health insurance because I couldn't afford COBRA premiums each month and the state I live in didn't expand Medicaid. I have no income whatsoever except for donations and cannot get health insurance through Market Place either. I'm currently experiencing medical issues and need to get to moved to be near friends and medical support.
My husband passed away unexpectedly in February. He was my sole provider. I'm 56 and not old enough to receive Widows Benefit. I am old enough to get his SSDI through Widows Benefit. But have to get approved for disability first. I'm living in a state with no social services for my situation. I am receiving SNAP. That is the only program I qualify for. There are no local churches to help. I've exhausted myself on dead-end referrals.
I have multiple health issues. One is terminal. I just want to get somewhere safe and live out my remaining time in peace.
My husband did not leave me destitute. His eldest son has estate tied up in Probate. I cannot find an attorney to represent me pro bono, so I am representing myself. If I have success with Probate case I would no longer be homeless. However, I cannot represent myself without being able to stay physically alive. That is why I need to raise this money asap. I'm currently homeless with my 14 year old dog with no friends or any support. I'm not safe.
My life is in danger.
I know times are tough for everyone right now. If you're not in a position to donate, don't feel bad, you can help by sharing. If enough people gave just ten dollars at one time I could reach my goal in a short time.
Thank you for reading!
