$500 to avoid eviction.

Anything will help. I need $500 to pay rent by Monday May 1, 2017. Or we face eviction on May 5, 2017.

My name is John. I have been the sole provider for my wife (and sometimes grown kids,) for over 5 years. My wife began to decline mentally and physically in 2010. At this point she is totally incapable of holding a job. She has severe PTSD, Bipolar, Dissociative Disorder, and Schizoaffect disorder. Physically she has uncontrolled type II diabetes with blood sugars running above 400. She is insulin resistance. The diabetes has caused neuropathy in her extremities, meaning her feet and hands are numb and tingly and always in pain. She has rheumatoid arthritis which is degenerative and will continue to get worse. She has many more ailments. I can not leave her alone for long periods of time. This makes it extremely difficult to work full time. She is in the process of waiting to approved for disability.

We recently moved to Victorville to be closer to our three grown daughters so they could help care for my wife. My wife has been hospitalized 3 times since we moved at the end of February. I was able to start driving for Uber as soon as we got settled. Fortunately, Ubering has kept food on the table, paid the phone bill last month so I can continue to work, paid last month's car insurance and car note. Unfortunately, because my wife needs so much attention I have not worked as much as I could have. I am late on my car insurance and the balance of this month's phone bill is still due. I'm sure I can make those two bills this weekend Ubering. 

I do not know how I am going to pay the rent by the 1st of May. We will be evicted by the 5th if we do not come up with the $500. My landlord is willing to work with us as long as we show good faith and give her as much as we can as often as we can. So any donations are valuable and appreciated.

Thank you for your generosity! Thank you for sharing this fundraiser! God bless!
