My kids and I have been homeless for over a year
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Crystal Spencer. My children and I are homeless due to domestic violence and left our home to go to the alliance against family violence shelter, where we stayed for 2 months.
We then spent 7 months or so at the Bakersfield homeless shelter. I received a call at the shelter that my brother passed away. We are beyond devastated by our loss. He was always there for us and he was my best friend.
We were forced to leave the shelter because we had to travel to Orange county to make arrangements for my brothers passing and it was going to take more than 3 days. Just the thought is unbearable. We bounced around between family and friends and then we lost both of our grandparents and my very close friend.
We have been homeless since September 7 of 2021. We are in desperate need of help. My sister in law gave me a motorhome that my brother had offered for me to stay in before he passed away but he was the only one who knows where the pink slip is at. It's 10 years past due and I can't afford to register it. I also don't know how to get it registered in my name.
The motorhome means alot to me because the last time I saw him, he was working on it. He cared so much about us and was my super hero and angel and I can't bear to loose it. I am paying $200 a month for storage for the motorhome and I am past due.
All of my money is going towards gas to get my kids to and from school and to keep my kids stable. I have never lived in a motorhome but I would really appreciate it and I know that my children would too.
I am terrified of going back to the shelter where I found out that my brother passed away. It was extremely miserable there and my son was diagnosed with PTSD. We are miserable going from place to place and truly need help.
Please, if you find it in your heart to donate to help us, we would be forever grateful. If you can't afford to donate, I understand, and I would really appreciate it if you could just share our story so that we could have a better chance of receiving help.
Thank you for taking the time to read about our situation and for your time and consideration. We truly appreciate you and I know that my angels in heaven would too. Have a blessed day.
