I'm 57 years old, and for the second year now, I've been living in a shed on my father's property in Venago county Pennsylvania There's no insulation, no running water, and no electricity. It's been an incredibly difficult time, and I've been abandoned by my friends and family when I needed them most.

But I haven't been alone. Over time, animals have come into my life, and I've taken them in. They've become my family, and I cannot leave them behind. They depend on me, and I depend on them. They're all I have.

Now I'm facing a new crisis. The shed doesn't meet code requirements, and my father's property isn't zoned for it. I can't stay where I am, and I can't afford the permits and charges that would come with trying to make this legal.

That's why I'm reaching out for help. I need a camper to live in. Because it's on wheels, it can sit in my father's driveway as a temporary residence while I figure out my next steps. I also need a reliable car so I can get around, work, and take care of my animals' needs.

I'm not asking for much, just a way to stay safe and keep my family, both human and animal, together. Your support could give me the stability I desperately need right now.
