Support a 74-Year-Old's Fight for Stability

I retired in 2016 and left a 23-year-long marriage in 2020.

Without my husband's support, I was on my own. After more than a month of searching, I got a job delivering food.

After three months in a women's shelter, I teamed up with another woman and moved into a duplex on a farm.

The peace of this idyllic location soothed my troubled soul and I began to heal...until things went sour.

My roommate got evicted for not paying her share and I was left holding the bag.

My landlady was kind and generous and allowed me to remain with only a $100 increase in my rent.

Things were going along fine until about a month ago when my hours were cut in half at work.

Then my landlady said she could "no longer be kind and generous" and she was raising my rent an additional $360 per month.

These two things happening so close together have thrown me for a loop. I'm 74 with various medical issues. I can only work part time and my Social Security alone is not enough to live on.

I've tried various local charities for help but....no dice.

I need help.
