Help Lucius & Ava Rose Keep Their Home: Support Our Humans
Donation protected
We’re reaching out to you, our kind-hearted friends, and compassionate strangers for help keeping our family together and our home safe.
David and Vanessa have been a devoted couple for over a decade, but life has thrown them some heartbreaking challenges. Vanessa lost her job twice—first early in the year and then again in November of 2023, crushing their financial stability. Five days after Thanksgiving, Vanessa suffered the heartbreaking loss of her mother, Silvia, who battled dementia for eight years. The grief, compounded by painful family disputes, has left Vanessa emotionally and financially drained. The job market has been brutally tough despite her tireless efforts—volunteering in her professional community, networking, and applying to countless jobs with updated resumes.
With unemployment support and their retirement savings gone, we are struggling to keep up. Now, two months behind rent, they are facing a demand for $3,200 to avoid eviction. Without a stable income, we're worried we might lose our home.
We humbly ask for your support to help us get back on our feet.


Your donation, no matter how small, will help cover the overdue rent, keep a roof over our heads, and give Vanessa the breathing room to continue her job search. Here’s how your kindness can make a difference:
- $3,200 will clear the overdue rent and keep us safe in our home.
- $500 will cover utilities and essentials like food and litter for the kitties.
- Any extra will help Vanessa and David rebuild their safety net.
We know times are tough for many, so even sharing our story with friends or on social media means the world. Thank you for giving us hope, from Lucius, Ava Rose, David, and Vanessa.
With gratitude,
Lucius, Ava Rose, David and Vanessa
