Un-Housed and on the family shelter WAITLIST 4 SMC

Hi my name is Danny and I’m fund raising for Leo and his daughters. I won’t use names other than Leo’s or specific dates out of respect for all of the family. My simple goal is to help Leo and his daughters with emergency shelter until room opens up for San Mateo county family shelter. Here is a little bit of context. Leo’s wife and mother of his children had been suffering from a disease for over 10 years, and in which she spent 1/3 of the time in the hospital and the majority of the time in chronic pain. In the beginning of 2022 the pain and complications became unbearable and she passed away a couple of days after surgery in November of last year with her family by her side.

Leo and his family lived in a home in South San Francisco where they resided for sometime. The house that the whole family lived in was becoming harder to maintain and Leo became homeless with his girls. Now his family is displaced one daughter at his dads. One daughter is staying with her boyfriend and one is staying with Leo and in her senior year of high school. Leo has been waiting for a spot at family shelter for about four months and is going to be living in his car with daughter if something doesn’t give. Please help me with a donation so I can put them up at an extended stay motel until family shelter opens up. We are grateful for your support.
