Our beloved swampyankee, who has had enough problems for one lifetime after losing Lou, is having her house forclosed on & the date, as of right now is 5/8; although we are not sure whether that is the date she will have to leave the house or not. She has had so many problems with trying to keep up with the house financially since Lou passed, that she is more than willing to allow the house to go; however she is going to have to move and find an apartment and get things situated. She is also going to need to let two of her three pooties go if she is able to get into assisted housing (she sent in the application, but there are no guarantees), so if you are able to take another pootie, please let us know.
I am hoping to raise $2000 for her to pay first and last month's rent and to pay for a mover and any security deposits that she may need to pay for utilities. She is living on SSDI and we all know that doesn't stretch far enough to cover moving to a new apartment and so forth. Her paypal email is: jennifercirino@sbcglobal.net. Any help at all is greatly appreciated and I know that swampyankee will appreciate it more than anyone knows. She really doesn't feel like talking, so she may or may not be here.
1. Please, be nice to each other - no name calling or bellyaching that it is her own fault.
2. Do not holler like a stuck pootie that it is unfair to ask for this assistance.
3. If swampyankee does show up, show her the respect that she is due and that you would want for yourself.
4. If you can not follow these rules and do not leave immediately, you will be spayed or neutered.
10:26 AM PT: We have a $500 match for the first $500 raised towards this goal.
10:49 AM PT: There is also an additional $300 in matching funds that someone is doing completely anonymously.
12:10 PM PT: We have been offered another $300 matching contribution. Let's kick this out. That means that if we match all $1100, we will kill what we are trying to reach.
12:42 PM PT: OK, we got that first $500 match killed, so let's get the other $600 in matching funds!!
2:10 PM PT: OK, we got the $1338.35 before the matching funds!!!! The other $600 matching funds will be via snail mail.
4:46 PM PT: Grand total, without including anything being sent via snail mail is $1928.35. We have NOT included any of the amounts being sent via snail mail in this total!!!
