PLEASE MEET RICK AND CHERYL:

Rick & Cheryl are conductors of a full orchestra. One where every instrument in their life needs attention. Day to day, I don't know how they keep it all together. Homelessness is a full-time job for every person.

They have two vans, they live in one and their son lives in the other. The three dogs split time between the vans. For meeting very basic needs, Rick drives for Door Dash and Cheryl for Caviar.

Their son Ken has a HEN housing voucher, but cant' find a place because of an eviction in Arizona. They've tried over and over to resolve the matter, wanting to pay off what is owed, but they get sent into a circle of phone calls with nobody able to give direction for a solution.

On top of that, Cheryl lost her HEN housing because she received SSI, which is $783.00, not anywhere near enough for housing. Ugh! They are stretched so very thin.

Their dogs are happy. However they could use some help. One of the dogs has a bad ear infection and needs to see the vet. They also need some specific food that clears up crystals in the urine, which has some blood in it. We would like to raise $250.00 for those expenses. If there is a vet that could help out at a cut-rate, all the better! ALSO, this family is tired and could benefit greatly from three nights in a hotel, which would be another $300.00.

UPDATE: The Paypal link has been pulled in that the goal of raising $550 has been met with $1,234.35 donated, wowWOW!!! I know this will make a beautiful difference for this family. A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone that gave support and LOVE.

All funds will be used to help Rick & Cheryl. No funds go directly to them and, as is always the case, no funds go to Facing Homelessness. If there are remaining funds, not used by Rick & Cheryl, they will go to someone with a like need.

A bigBIG LOVE to you Cheryl, Rick and Ken. Take good care of yourselves during this stressful time.
