Helping newly widowed Lynda

Donation protected
Hi I'm Bitty, I'm fundraising for my 74 year old friend Lynda. Lynda 74 lost her beloved husband Max of 47 years two weeks ago at 86. Max had fought Prostrate cancer Bravely for 4 years, with Lynda always by his side as his soul caregiver. They had no children together and relied on each other for everything. They lived on their social security retirement and a little extra when Lynda would try to do data entry from home while Max slept. Max had no life insurance. In the last year and a half Max developed dementia and suffered increasing bouts of confusion.
We believe Max fell victim to a scammer as he hadn't paid the utilities in some time and they are $1200 in the rears, yet there's no money in his account, Duke Energy is demanding a repayment plan beyond her ability. She's is facing disconnection any day She may be evicted by June 15th if she can't pay the other half of her rent by then. Max's bank card disappeared between getting in the ambulance and when the Funeral home returned his wallet. Social security is paid in advance so they Want his May check back, it is all just too much. We can't let this loving wonderful dedicated widow end up on the street with her little Westie. She is trying everything in her power to get back on her feet after such a profound loss and would love to be able to stay in her little 1 bedroom apartment at least while she tries to find something more affordable, which is not easy today with rental prices. Especially given most required first last and a security deposit.
