A Campaign with Kindness Afoot

Donation protected
I am raising emergency funds for my housekeeper and friend.  Seven days a week, she is a hotel maid making minimum wage.  She occasionally cleans my house at night for a modest amount of money.  She is the sole support of herself, her blind husband, and three  school-aged children.  She is living in Silicon Valley, one of the most expensive areas in the U.S. to live, and the rent on her two bedroom apartment has just climbed to $2500 per month!   She and her family are living below the poverty level.  They can't afford beds and sleep on the floor; they don't have a car; they have no access to a computer.  The last time she worked for me she said she didn't have enough money for food.  Listen, I know there are many good charities and causes to support.  I'm just desperate to help a woman I have called friend for over 10 years now and who has been incredibly kind to me.   I try to help out, but I'm on a fixed income and am a disabled senior so I'm limited in what I can do.  Every single penny will go directly to her and I know she and the family will use every cent to support their very basic needs.  $2000 won't solve her problems but at least she and her family can eat for a while,  If you have spare change of any sort, it will be greatly appreciated!  The photo is of me and my dog.  I choose not to identify her.  My name is Janis.  Her name is Josefina.  God bless you for whatever you can do!
