Homeless Realtor   

I never imagined I would need something like this, but I do need a helping hand after my “Roadkill  Accident” Please let me explain.    

Due to the pandemic, like thousands of other realtors, I lost my career in real estate. I know most people think that realtors make a ton of money, but it really isn't true. The national average is about $30,000. Since 2020 I haven't made even half that. Over the last 2 years I haven’t made any money from it at all.  Please Donate/Share 

I did go through my entire life savings, which wasn’t all that much to begin with, but it's taken away my retirement and safety net. I thought things would get better, but unfortunately, they have not.    

My “Roadkill A ccident .” I was struck by a car. No, not my car, but me personally. My dog got loose, Brinkley, the one on the bottom, and I was chasing after her and a car knocked me down. They didn't even STOP to see if I was OK.  

There I lay in the middle of the street bleeding, and nobody even bothered to help me. At the time, I worked for an art gallery. I was in shock. After I peeled myself off of the street I called into my job at the time  

When I asked if I could come in an hour late, she said OK, another hour later, she came back and OK take the day off.... Then a mere 3 hours after the Roadkill Accident she texted me and said,    

"In fact, we are going to let you go. I don’t need someone bleeding all over the carpet." How sad is that?   

I have been suffering from bulging and herniating disks for years, and now at age 61, the doctors want me to have 3 fusions/surgeries one for my neck and the other 2 for spine. I have said No and have simply been living with the pain ever since.  They are now saying I just cannot put it off any longer. I really need the financial help- Please share on your FB, X, Pintrest ,Thread 

My worst of my pain issues are in the morning. I can’t move. It borders on excruciating, and it is a horrible way to start your day, every day.    

After this accident I have no choice. I am going to have to agree to the proposed surgeries. We all know recovery and recuperation can be lengthy.    

Because of the accident, I am now missing half of my teeth on my right side and can’t afford dentures. Having all my teeth pulled and replaced with dentures/implants is an arduous process. It is going to be challenging at best.  I need the money to get Dentures too Please share on your FB, X, Pintrest ,Thread 

I want you to know that I am not lazy. After the roadkill accident and getting fired from the art gallery for "bleeding" I got a day-job to compensate, working at a boutique hotel. Although it was excruciatingly painful physically, doing all the running around the property, I stuck it out.   

Then in May I was LAID OFF. NO notice No severance. I filed for unemployment; I was denied. They said I wasn’t with them long enough. I have put out over 140 applications, many interviews to no avail. I live in a town that is seasonal. It's too hot to stay here in the summer, so it’s empty half the year.   

In September, after 3 years, 4 shots and practically living like a hermit. I got a variant of COVID. Like most everyone when I got sick, I thought it was just a flu bug. By the time it really kicked in, I was really really sick completely bedridden. Couldn’t even pick up the phone to ask for help. I should have gone to the doctor/hospital, but I just couldn't. I was too sick. Drug Intervention would have really helped but I was too out of it to get help It was long and very painful. There were days when I wondered if I would live through it. It was bad. Please share on your FB, X, Pintrest ,Thread 

Now, I can’t breathe very well on my own. I am not getting enough oxygen in my system. The doctors are throwing a lot of tests at me, trying to figure out the best way for me to cope because the aftereffects- like not being able to breathe- have Not gotten any better.   

It's been terrifying. I live alone, so if I stop breathing, and I can’t get enough oxygen in my system no one is here to even notice. Not the end of the world you might say, but if I am being turned down for jobs because I am “too old and broken” Who's going to hire someone dragging around an oxygen tank?

 I have fallen really behind on my bills. I’ve been unemployed now for months and the bills are over $10,000. and growing by the day. My landlord, who is a nice guy has told me He needs the rent, or I am out. I mean I understand, but I just don’t have it. So, with any and all donations I receive it will go directly to cover these expenses. The Landlord, So Cal Edison, T-Mobile and if there is anything left for food. that would be great because the frig is bare.               

No thanksgiving or Christmas for me.   

The only assistance I get is $187.00 from food stamps and that equates to $2.08 a meal.   

Government programs like Unemployment (denied, said I hadn’t been at the job long enough) SSI, I am too young, the minimum is 62 and SSDI which takes a lawyer and years to get. or you have to have someone over 65 or children living with you. I have neither. I’ve fallen through the cracks every single time.

Being a Window/single woman, I simply do not qualify for assistance, The system isn't really doing a very good job of helping many who are truly in need. If you don't fit their "mold" they just don't care-unfortunately. Please share on your FB, X, Pintrest ,Thread 

I cry every day, and I've been trying so hard to get a job, but no one will hire me. Agism isn't helping. I hate to admit it, while I am not suicidal, I wonder if life is still worth living. It makes me so sad. I try to keep those kinds of dark thoughts to a minimum but it's so hard.  Friends and family, the few I have, have their own families and money woes. They have helped as much as they can, they just can’t help anymore. They too are just barely getting by.   PLEASE DONATE 

They're threatening to turn off my electricity. I can’t pay for them. I owe them over $2000.00.  

The Landlord wants $8000.00 I must pay him, or I am out on the streets. Ironically, it makes me a Homeless Realtor.

If there is any way you can help even a little or a lot, it would so be so appreciated. I never thought I’d be a 61-year-old Widow, with 2 Doxies and no way to pay my living expenses. Due to injuries that were beyond my control. 

I know there are so many worthy causes out there. I know there are many people who are need, perhaps in some ways, worse shape than I. Ironically, I always give the homeless people I encounter. One instance after a friend had a big company party, I asked for all the extra food, and distributed it to the homeless.   

I have always believed that NO ONE deserves to be on the street, and to think that I may be next, it really goes to show you it's true. We are all just a couple of paychecks away from it, ourselves.   I Never thought I’d be a Homeless  Realtor, but in essence I am. Please share on your FB, X, Pintrest ,Thread 

Once I can get a little stable, find a day-job, and get caught up. I plan to do is start a little company building a tiny house community for women especially who have lost their career to the pandemic and have no safety net- Please DONATE! This is bigger and more important than just me. 

I've been working on a business plan for over a year now.  If you would like to support MINI-Mansions(R) I would be forever grateful. This isn't all about me. there are thousands of realtors, who wouldn't say it out loud, but who are in similar situation having lost their career to the pandemic. 

I even trademarked the name Mini-Mansions so I can help others like me who need a home life they can afford. I am looking for seed money for that as well.  Please share on your FB, X, Pintrest ,Thread 

These days it takes 2 incomes just to break even. Too many women just don’t have that. They are living like me, barley by and getting more and more in debt. There are so many people who desperately need help and they are of course all worthy of assistance.  

I employ you to help. Sometimes we just need people to care and lift us up out of an unfortunate situation. Unfortunately, today, I am that person and I need help now. 

Please SHARE this on your Social Media accounts. This isn't just about me, it about helping a large group of people who have in essence lost their career to the pandemic, especially women. 

I look forward to the day when I can pay it forward, but for now, I just need a helping hand or two.    

Thank you for your consideration whether you support me, or the many deserving others who are in need.   I Thank you, Loren Fox
