I never thought I’d be the person staring at an eviction notice taped to my front door. It’s more than just a piece of paper; it’s the only thing standing between my family and the street. I have exactly three days to find $200, or the legal process to remove us from our home begins. The Struggle This past month has been a series of impossible choices. Between unexpected medical costs and a temporary reduction in my hours at work, I’ve had to choose between basic groceries and keeping up with the rent at 4945 W West End Ave. I am working as hard as I can to catch up, but I am still coming up short. The landlord has issued this final Three-Day Notice, and the clock is ticking. The Human Connection My name is Karen Vaughns Woods, and this apartment is my sanctuary. It’s where I feel safe and where I can focus on getting my life back on track. Being this close to losing everything is a level of fear I wouldn't wish on anyone. Your support isn't just about a bill; it's about a second chance and the dignity of having a place to sleep. The Plan I am being completely transparent: I need exactly $200 to stop this eviction. Every dollar raised will go directly to the landlord to satisfy this debt before the deadline on the notice. If we can reach this goal, the legal proceedings will be stopped, and I can stay in my home. The Ask Please consider donating, even if it's just $5 or $10.
