Overview

I am 77 years old and have been homeless for approximately one year. I am energetic and active. I use a walker now but hope to become able, not disabled, and physically fit again.

My goal is to move into permanent housing and be stable. I never want to be homeless again, never. This experience has been a good lesson for me. I will pay my rent on time, work, and be productive.

I have a Section 8 voucher and hope to move into a senior apartment, but I need help raising the funds I need to move in. Even though I work part-time, my limited income is a challenge and I need help paying for the security deposit of my apartment and to purchase household items.

Meeting this need will help me come out of poverty and homelessness. It would be a miracle if you could help me and I will be so grateful.

I have been working with Tracy for the last 4 months. Despite her age and disability, Tracy has a tremendous amount of energy and has been a pleasure to work with. I met Tracy when she was living on the streets in Hollywood. In this short amount of time, Tracy has been staying at our shelter in Hollywood and has secured a Section 8 voucher. Tracy has located a safe senior apartment and should be expected to move in very soon. Due to her limited income, she will need some financial help with move-in deposit and furniture. Tracy is excited and grateful for her housing opportunity. We hope that you will consider donating to help Tracy.
