My friend, Artie, is in some dire financial straits right now -- all due to no fault of his own. We are believing that it is a temporary situation but he needs help now! Due to some unfortunate events, he has fallen behind on his rent and his landlord is taking him to court for eviction. He was doing OK several years ago, but then his wife suddenly passed away. He then suffered a series of other health issues:

1. He suffered several mini strokes and one full stroke. One of the mini strokes left him with difficulty with short-term memory issues. Another mini stroke affected his balance receptors in his brain.
2. He has arthritis in his left knee. Hardly any cartilage remains. Bone on bone.
3. Difficulty balancing since the mini stroke affected balance in his brain.
4. He had a stent inserted into his heart/arteries in October, 2024.
5. Continuous back pain makes it very difficult with all other factors to stand longer than 10 minutes.
6. Walking farther than one block is painful. Currently using a rollator to help with walking and balance and stability.
7. His car stopped working 10 months ago and he has not been able to afford another one. This makes it difficult/impossible to find a job to pay his bills. He is doing what he can to earn income but it is not enough to allow him to get caught up.

He has been declared "disabled" by Social Security but has not yet been able to get them to award him disability income. He has another interview with them in July and we are hoping this issue will be resolved. However, he still needs to get caught up with his rent.

Please donate and help me help him.
