Maria Palazzo Building Fund
Donation protected
Hi, My name is Maria Palazzo. I am in need of financial help because I am in debt and also endanger of losing my property because its been sold for delinquent taxes. When my parents passed away, the family building was left to me. My bills are now overwhelming. I don't even have the money to pay the current property taxes. Whatever savings I had, I used over the years for various repairs that needed to be done as well as dealing with health issues that have occurred.
- Leaky roof repaired
- Cracked front stairs needed to be remodeled
- Sewer rodding due to basement flooding
- Damaged water pipes under cement floor in basement that for several months caused a massive increase in my water bill that was unknown. The water company couldn't figure out the problem. So then I hired a company that used a machine to examine the problem using ultra sonic waves, and I paid for license plumber to repair the problem. I am still paying back the previous water bills I owed from the damages it caused.
- I've had several car repairs
- I battled a pneumonia
- Had knee surgery
- Sustained a blood clot in my leg
- Reoccurring kidney stones
My brother passed away shortly after my parents. I am a single woman, and have no family that I can turn to. It's very hard for me to open up and ask for help. I feel embarrassed and ashamed. But, I strongly believe that by opening up, the kindness of strangers will be a start of a whole new beginning for me. That's why I am starting a GoFundMe page. So, I can get the money to pay my property taxes that have been sold as well as the current one and buy some time so I won't be homeless. Then, I won't have this dark cloud hanging over me. I'll have the time to sell my property and leave on my own terms and not be forced out.
I thank you for taking the time to read about my situation. Also, I would like to take the opportunity to thank anyone who contributes because you are saving my life!
