Hello everyone,
An email was recently sent out by Ray Kermode titled “Help Alena Stay Housed” regarding my GoFundMe campaign, “Stability for a 61-Year-Old in Need.” This was so kind of Ray to share. The link to my campaign is below:

I want to share a small but important clarification about how you can best support me right now. I truly appreciate the care, concern, and problem-solving energy so many of you have offered. It means a lot to know I’m not alone. At this time, I am already working with Legal Aid and several organizations to address the situation, and I have the support I need on that front.
The most helpful ways to support me right now are by sharing my GoFundMe, contributing if you’re able, and holding me in your good thoughts. Those actions make the biggest difference for me in this moment.
I also kindly ask that people refrain from reaching out to Sue and Ray for additional information. They have generously helped already, and I don’t want them to feel responsible for more when they already do so much for the community.
I am deeply grateful to everyone who has already shared and contributed, or shared resources and assistance. Your generosity and kindness mean so much to me, thank you!
There is no additional information at this time. I am preparing to move and have faith that everything will work out for my greatest good.
With gratitude,
Alena
