Question about a Go Fund Me for a liberal sister in need
I have a dear friend in dire need of funds to live on. She (Mary Ann) is losing her home, tried everything, HARP, this and that, has no money or job, mom is in the hospice, and the water will be turned off on the 28th of this month. This is a wonderful person, and she is totally screwed, of course- she got "laid off", but the man is not saying that outright so she cannot get unemployment insurance. Thank GOD she just got foodstamps. Tried working with the bank, this and that.. Loves animals, her dog died not long ago.

She is a hard worker, and looking for a job. If you have a way to just spread the word a bit, I would appreciate it. She is slogging thru all this crap she has when she came down to live with her older mom, who is now in a nursing facility.

She is a person who will bounce back from this, but is really in a bad spot. She has to sell everything, and move soon, so she will also be happy to sell stuff to those who want it.

Am I allowed to share her Go Fund Me Link? Thank you in advance. If so, where? It's been awhile since I been on DU, but I know how great DUers are for those in need, esp a Liberal Sister. I posted this in the welcome and help area, but can anyone help me? She is pretty desperate at this point.

Regards,

Xanaduer

Okay- I am going to put this out there. Any help is needed and appreciated. She is also selling things through a garage sale-

She's not kidding about sustaining life. Thank you anyone, and I hope this is okay.

Warmest regards and respects~

UPDATE- Mary Ann added a video explaining her situation, and thank you to the wonderful DUer who donated anon.

DUers are the kindest people in the world! Of course they are!

Thanks

2. I'm wary of GoFundMe's privacy policies.

Is it possible to donate through PayPal? That way it's just between me and your friend. Please ask, thanks.

Oh, and kicking.

4. Hi, and thanks

Honestly, as an old fart who,thank God, at this point on my American economic journey, has not had to resort to GFM or paypal, I really don;t know. MaryAnn is a very proud person, so, for her to go online and ask for money,things are bad.


I send her cash directly. I send what I can, but I have a disabled BF and am trying to save for housing.

I hope she can get a job in her field, which I am not really that familiar with.

Thank you everyone and all for anything, or telling anyone on any social media you know know of.

10. kick update

MA and I are grateful. She's selling items to raise money, and lives in the Lake Worth, FL area. She needs wet catfood, and one pet has diabetes. MA is a toughie, and is diligently seeking employment, ANYTHING, at this point, including janitorial work within driving distance.

MA is feeling more positive! She is supposed to have a job 6/1/15- it looks like the water won't be turned off tonight. I want to thank everyone here. Thank you, DUers, esp those kind enough to help a stranger.

Fingers crossed that things are looking up.

....first, thank you, DU. Maryann has a job, and things are looming brighter. an estranged sibling did the right thing and helped with the house. while not 100 percent, things are a bit brighter than they were a month ago.
