A DUer in Cowlitz County WA is in urgent need of social services
DUer BlueLucy has posted this message in General Discussion: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=16924720
Her post is an appeal for help (GoFundMe donations) because she's about to be evicted from her apartment. She has serious medical issues and she faces surgery next week.
BlueLucy says on her post #30
I live in Cowlitz County in Washington State. I moved here two years ago from Portland OR. I did apply for rent help here at Lower Columbia Cap which is the only place that does rent assistance here. I was denied because it was not COVID related (This is a RED area). I know it would not have been this difficult if I still lived in Portland. Also, there is a 2 month waitlist now even for COVID related.
My son being gay doesn't matter to me at all. It's just that he lost his dad who raised him in home day to day and now his bio father has rejected him, disowned him. The way he did so was incredibly cruel.

Anyone who might know a good way to help her with rent assistance to avoid being evicted, please let her know.
Thanks!
