Single Father Needs Help

Single Father Needs Help

From David Lopez

I am raising funds to help with moving costs. After a serious medical situation, requiring immediate laser surgery, I was left with no funds. The place I rent sold and the funds would be used to find a 1br rental.

So I wanted to give an update. The owners agreed to allow me to pay a portion of the deposit over time so the move in is a bit lower. This couple is so kind to allow for this. Please help by sharing my story/campaign. Thank you.

More Info

Late last year I was faced with my biggest challenge. Going blind due to a couple conditions. I had narrowing angle glocoma as well as complete hardening of my cataracts. Thankfully I was able to get my vision restored yet lost a lot of time at work and almost 3 paychecks. Being a first year teacher I hadn't built up enough sick time so I was left in a huge financial hole. In the past few weeks my landlord has informed me that they have sold the house and gave me till the end of the month to move out. I'm currently on a month to month and they were very understanding during my medical recovery. Unfortunately I don't have enough funds to move with. To make it worse, they have scheduled demo on the kitchen and bathroom come monday.

I have found a small 1br for my daughter and I with a wonderful older couple. They are working with me to get me moved ASAP but I am still short some funds. This place is part of their income so I already feel bad they are adjusting the move in for me. The funds raised would go directly toward the move. I have about a third of the money but am praying that my community can help me with the rest.

I am a single father, artist, and digital arts teacher at a title 1 school. Being in this situation I am more than willing to barter/provide custom artwork that I can basically donate back to the community. I just need help quick. I am praying that I can move this weekend, and avoid a demo team, have a place to live for my daughter and I, and be able to focus on the classroom where I am needed.
