My name is Kirsten, and I am a widow in Moscow, Idaho, trying to survive a level of loss and stress no one should ever have to face. I JUST RECEIVED A 30-DAY EVICTION NOTICE. Time is running out to save my home and my dog Cruzer.In November 2023, my husband died by suicide after months of struggling, and I have been left to handle the trauma, the financial fallout, and the isolation completely on my own.My husband and I put everything we had into buying this home. It might not seem like much to most people, but it is mine, and it was our dream that we worked so hard for together. We were in the middle of our second remodel when he died by suicide while I was home, and since then I have been trying to hold together the life we built with what little strength and resources I have left.This past weekend, I had to make the heartbreaking decision to put down my beloved dog, Pearl. Now my remaining rescue dog, Cruzer, is the only living piece of my little family I have left. Since my husband's death, my corporate landlord has been pushing to evict me from the land my home sits on, using aggressive notices and pressure while I am barely keeping my head above water.I've exhausted every resource: I have called 211, community action agencies, local churches, and housing assistance. They all say no help because funds are gone or I don't have children under 18. Legal aid hasn't even responded yet. I truly have no one to turn to.Back lot rent and basic bills are stacking up faster than I can possibly pay them. I have been working as hard as I can, taking every opportunity I can find, but I am at the point where I cannot dig out of this alone.I need $5600 in the next 30 days to stabilize my life and keep a roof over my and Cruzer's heads:$4,600 to fight the eviction and get caught up on lot rent $1,500 to catch up on my Avista power bill and stop disconnection notices to keep car insurance, internet, and phone active so I can work and stay connectedEvery single dollar goes directly to housing, utilities, and my ability to work. I have no family or local support network.This is incredibly hard and takes every ounce of pride I have to ask, but some days it takes everything just to keep going. I'm fighting for my life and for Cruzer. If you can donate any amount or SHARE THIS WIDELY, you could save our home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
