I'm Elisa Feliciano, a 62-year-old grandmother to eight wonderful grandchildren. Life recently took an unexpected turn when I lost my job and faced the harsh truth of being ineligible for unemployment benefits due to my small mobile notary business. Living in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, I poured my rent money into fixing my car—my lifeline for a new job as a political canvasser. Despite the repair, it still needs an additional $1,500 to be roadworthy, addressing critical issues like the ABS module, intake sensor, and tires.
Receiving a 10-day Notice to Quit has left me with little time to catch up on $2,000 of missed rent and no place to turn if I can’t pay by August 20, 2026. My new job, crucial as it is, involves extensive travel, and without a reliable car, my employment hangs by a thread. The situation feels overwhelming, especially with ongoing medication costs of $149 a month adding to the strain.
Together, I believe we can face these challenges. Your support means more than helping me keep a roof over my head; it’s about staying on the path to job stability and remaining close to my beloved grandchildren. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering sharing in this journey.
