Relocating Gina & Jeff
Donation protected
Many of you have seen Jeff and Gina over the last 10 years here in Scottsdale.
Jeff's passion in life was to become a successful Chef so his parents decided to relocate him from New Jersey to attend and finish Culinary School here in Scottsdale.
Quickly realizing that leaving him by himself wasn't feasible due to Jeff dealing with Aspergers (a highly functioning form of Autism) Gina decided to relocate herself thinking it would be a temporary situation allowing him the support to fuel his dream.
Unfortunately the necessary patience and guidance that he was desperately searching for within the industry, colleagues, professionals, jobs, doctors ect. never came and now with Covid-19 hitting there is zero work here for him to sustain any sort of basic lifestyle.
5 years ago Gina became the sole bread winner for the family working as a security guard but this type of work being sporadic at best making anywhere from $13-$20 an hour at the age of 63 has placed a tremendous amount of stress on her. Just recently the amount of anxiety attacks has led her to the ER room and is only getting worse by the day.
She has made the extremely brave decision to move back home with family to get the much needed emotional, mental and financial support for both she and Jeff to start a fresh chapter in Florida.
Resources for everyone right now are extremely limited but I'm asking if this can go viral and shared so that everyone can donate $1.
I've estimated the moving costs to be anywhere from $7,500-$10,000 and anything more that is raised could go towards a deposit and buy them a few months while they make this extremely difficult transition.
The goal is to get them out of Arizona on or before October 31st solely because I want them to be able to enjoy the Holidays and to finally have a little breathing room.
In a World that we live in today where people can raise tens of thousands towards making potato salad or we make the stupidest things go viral donating to this cause would make the absolute difference in their lives.
If you're not able to donate, please share !!!
