One more Disabled Homelessness person

Chance to Help.

I am Norberto, set up this fund raiser to help my close family member (cousin) with an emergency circumstance of facing homelessness.

UPDATE: She is now homeless!

Needs to relocate safely and immediately.

Nearing 60 years of age, disabled, home bound. Living on a strict fixed income, she has poured her heart into caring for others—including her feral cat colony she has loved, fed, and safely managed (TNR) for over a decade, in N.Y..

Now, she urgently needs help. After advocating for basic living conditions like working winter heat, she was hit with a massive, retaliatory rent increase and an eviction notice. Despite her serious health issues, local systems failed to protect her. She was given a timeline to pack up the last 13years of her life on an extremely low income, while navigating severe nerve damage in her spine, limbs, and a recent urgent cardiac evaluation for fainting spells.

UPDATE: Although she submitted 3 different orders to show cause to housing court. The court still would not give her an extension of 30 days to transition. The court didn't consider her documentation from doctors stating the hardship she would face if homeless. Landlord renting with an expired rental license for months. Collecting rent from this tenant.

Determined to break free from this toxic situation, we found a lifeline: for her. USDA Direct Home Loan. Currently in the active underwriting stage of USDA loan process, which takes 4 to 6 weeks or more. This loan would be a miracle that ensures she wont ever face homelessness again.

UPDATE: However, she was forced to leave. The USDA loan did not happen Now with an eviction on record.

an immediate 30-60 day gap temporarily displaced without housing, and temporarily without her medical insurance. No insurance, no daily aid or medical treatment. Because of her severe physical disabilities, she cannot lift, load, or drive.

She also refuses to abandon her beloved rescue cats, who will be successfully socialized once moved with her in a new home . Setting up this campaign to raise the critical "bridge funds" needed to safely transition her and the 4 feral cats during these next 30-60 days. This period of 30-60 days of safe housing is recommended by her doctors, as displacement would be hazardous to health conditions.

UPDATE: She could not take her feral cats. This shattered her heart more than now being homeless. They relied on her for 10 years and now she was gone. Neighboring houses tend to many feral cats, including the neighbor directly across the street who took on a portion of ferals a few years ago but.This didn't ease her soul.

Temporary Discretionary Housing needed-Continuity of Medical Care: To protect her health during this high-stress move.

Private funding desperately needed.

Helping hands are desperately needed to build this temporary bridge to safety. My family member has spent her life giving to people and animals.. In her hour of need, we are praying for the kindness of strangers to help her cross the finish line. She didn't post a fund raiser, people have shown her they only come around when in need. If you cannot donate, please share her story. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

She is currently covering the cost for her storage unit and hotel room with her disability funds but still has weeks of no place to sleep or unable to eat.

Moving out of state, once in a temporary rental she can apply for insurance benefits getting the medications needed, and home aid. Sadly I'm one of two people, family that can and have helped but our funds have depleted. We lost many family members to Corona. We don't want to lose her for any reason. We are trying to save funds for her rental since USDA loan didn't work out.

Or raise money towards a house or RV for her. This would solve so many issues for her.

She is a giver not a taker and say's God will find a way and refuses to ask for help. She's correct God will find a away and this is why I have made this fund raiser for her.

Every dollar adds up... No one deserves this but especially someone who is with disabling medical issues nearing 60 years of age.

Updates will be provided and all things can be verified....
