Support for Homeless Family Battling MS
Donation protected
*** Organizer of this fundraiser has been changed to Mary Totaro, since Robert is not 18 years old***
I am reaching out to friends, family and anyone that is willing to listen and possibly help. Whether it be financial or even moral support, anything is welcome. My brothers, Mom and I have been very reluctant to publicly ask for help and my Mom did privately reach out for help but as you can imagine it took a toll on her probably because it's not only embarrassing to be homeless but it's even more embarrassing to ask people to donate money because we are homeless. My mom has had numerous flare ups from her MS over the past 2 years leaving her immobilized in bed at times, to the point where she could no longer hold a full time job. We were displaced from our home a few months back, due to a slumlord - and he hired a crew to throw out all of our belongings. My mom didn't want to take us to a shelter so instead she spent her entire tax return on a hotel but that only lasted a couple months until her funds ran out. Inevitably my mom had to go downtown and apply for emergency services. So for the past couple months my brothers me and my mom have been living in a single 12x20 room together in Hamburg. A bus from sweet home has to come all the way out here to get us to take us to school. Sometimes we don't get home until 6:30 pm. We don't know how to get out of this mess and move back into a normal home environment so I suggested we do a public go fund me. Please if anyone can donate we would be so grateful. My mom has done everything in her power to make this experience tolerable but we could really use anyone's help. Thank you for taking your time to read our story.
