Help Veronica With Life's Demands

Donation protected
We have started this GoFundMe to help out our sister, Veronica Wilson (McCue) with every day expenses (rent, food, utilities, medical, etc). We understand that many people are struggling due to the ongoing pandemic and current economic conditions and understand she's not the only one who has fallen on hard times. The family has done our best to assist, but it's gone beyond where we can help as things just keep piling on.

Her story...

A few years ago, Veronica was forced to relocate out of the SF Bay Area because she was on state disability and lost her housing. She relocated to Northern California and was lucky enough to find affordable housing and a job right away. When the pandemic hit, she was no longer able to work the job she had as working conditions were a threat to her declining health. Eventually, she found a different job that ended up being all physical labor. Adding in all the health issues she has, she was unable to continue working that job and has been on disability since Autumn 2022.  

In early 2023, she hired an attorney so she could be evaluated for permanent disability. In July, her claim was denied. Although her lawyer is appealing, she no longer has disability income and is being forced back into the job market. The appeal process could take up to a year and there is no guarantee it will be approved. 

With ongoing health issues that are not 'fixable', she will have great difficulty finding a job that can accommodate her disabilities and meet her income needs. Also, with filing an appeal, she is severely limited on how much money she even can bring home, and after taxes, health insurance, etc. she will be unable to meet all her living expenses on a meager income. 

Given the state of the job market and economy, we are hoping this campaign will help her meet these expenses so that she isn't left out on the streets again or with a body that won't allow her to work to earn enough income to even survive. It's a no win situation. 

Needless to say, this has her very concerned for her future and extremely stressed out. She struggles each month to survive and is in fear of losing everything at just 59 years old. 

These funds will be used to pay for food, rent, utilities, medical expenses (mostly paying for travel as she does not drive), pet care expenses, living expenses and anything else that may come up.

We would be ever so grateful if you can find it in your heart to help our sister. She does not deserve this burden as she has been a hard worker her entire life and the health issues keep piling up. 

With sincere thanks, 
Diana (on behalf of her family)
