Hello there and Thank You for your interest in our Fundraiser.

My Name is Rachel. I recently visited my mother when she had to have surgery to replace her defribralating pacemaker. She has had a heart condition called CHF for Many years and it has slowed her down. I live in Ridgecrest, CA and she lives in Lancaster, CA and my younger sister lives with her. It's 90 miles between us.

My Mother is in dire need of cleaning up her house and it's going to a team of professionals to get the job done. Professional cost money, so we could use your help. .

I had not been to her home in almost 2 years. I was very upset and shocked at what I had seen. We ask that you refrain from any negativity and judging. Life gets busy, time passes and things happened. I am not making excuses for her, I am at fault here too. She tried reaching out and all I would say, was to get rid of the problem.

I have not included photos as she has requested me not to and we want to protect my mother's and Sister's privacy.

My family and I have all tried to tell her for sometime with the hopes that she would understand what needed to be done. She has finally come to the realization that the cats need to go. This is in the works, I have contacted several people in her area that do this kind of thing everyday.

Removing the cats is only the first step, then the cleanup can begin!

No one knows why things get this bad and she is very embarrassed about it. So we ask you to show compassion and donate what you can to help us get her house back. We appreciate you and would ask to keep her name private. She does not need to be shamed by the world that does not know her, she just needs help.

I and my siblings have All thought about doing this ourselves, but we are far past this being a possibility.

I hired a company to give us an estimate to clean up the animal mess and anything that was damaged by them, including, furniture, carpet and padding. The Clean Out Estimate comes to $6337.00.

They can begin once we come up with 60% of that in the amount of $3802.18.
