Help Eve Through Penny's Final Days

UPDATE:

Penny passed in her sleep in the early morning hours on Saturday, April 12, 2025.

Hello Friends!

My name is Eve Levin, my artist name is Raenite (ray-night). A neighbor is helping me create this GoFundMe appeal and my Illinois sister and brother-in-law will be the administrators because I cannot use computers and cell phones.

Starting in 2003, I began the fight to save my life from chemical & electrical poisonings and injuries from a car-deer collision. My mother, Penny Levin, who is now 99 (and worked at Trader Joe’s Sunnyvale, CA store until she was 88), is the only person in the entire world who stuck with me the entire 10 years I worked to heal.

In 2014, my mom Penny needed help and did not want to move in with anyone nor into a nursing home. I came back to California from Iowa to stay in her apartment and help her. I became her sole caregiver over these 11 years. We've worked through many injuries and illnesses and now as I write to you, after a recent rapid decline, she is physically in her hospice bed. I need your help, please.

When Penny dies, our income disappears. An added hurdle is that the payments for the month she dies and the month before she dies are retracted. We don't have that money. Most of the burial expenses are prepaid, but we still have some of the mortuary costs coming. We also do not have the money to clear the credit card balances used for health care expenses.

I will soon be eligible for a small retirement pension from work-years prior to my health challenges. I ask for your donations to help stabilize me in this transition period as I lose my dear, dear 21 years life partner. Thank you for your assistance.

Best wishes & love,

Eve Levin aka Raenite
