Jessica Grant hasn't added a story.
Hey everyone-
My name is Jessica Grant, maybe you know me from
high school, maybe through comedy or maybe you have just come across
this page by chance. I am 28 years old, work full time and do stand up
comedy as often as possible.
My dad, Harry, is a really awesome guy. (I mean, he was able to
make me not totally suck at life, and I appreciate that!) He is
retired (due to health) and on fixed income SSI. He is my only
immediate family left since my mom passed in 2012. Since about 2015
my dad has been near death due to a combination of pneumonia,
hypertension and a gnarly flu. He has improved since then, but still
remains on constant oxygen. That wouldnt be such a pain in the butt if
he wasn't forced to live in a total shit-hole.
My dad currently resides in a leaky, dilapidated 1964 single
wide trailer that was purchased by his mom (my grandma) in the 80's.
It has had some professional (but unpermitted) additions, like a
living room, bedroom and covered deck. It used to be a wonky looking
but beautiful home, set on close to 2 acres in Mckinleyville, CA. It
was amazing growing up here and though I was sometimes embarrassed to
bring my REAL HOUSE dwelling friends to my TRAILER, I wouldn't have
traded it for anything.
The bedroom ceiling was the first to collapse, causing leaks and
ending with such bad black mold that caused my dad serious breathing
issues (once again, even though he was on oxygen) and he almost died
Christmas day 2017. Then living room, then hallway where the ceiling
as actually started to rot and collapse, and finally infront of the
front door, making it nearly impossiple to open. On top of that, he
has one trailer sized heating system which does not cut it for the
winter. My dad sleeps in a "sherpa hat, sweatshirt, sweats and
jacket," INDOORS through winter.
He has had a few different roofing companies come out and tell
him that the trailer is not only a lost cause but that they would
ABSOLUTELY not work on this roof ever again. Guess you can't shine a
pile of poop.
I've done a LOT of research about what it would take to get a
REAL LIVE HOUSE put on the footprint of this doo-doo village and it
would start with about $10,000 for a water study and septic system.
From there, I qualify for a great county loan and could work with
mortgage payments from there.
I have about a grand saved up, and I figure on my own... I could
probably save $10,000 in about 5 years. I'm worried my fathers health
will deteriorate faster than that.
I don't like asking for help for myself, but I really want to
get my Pop's into a more stable situation and for that I will
literally beg for donations. It feels weird, but it also feels like an
only option.
Donate anything.
Also, I'm really good at yardwork, pretty good at cooking, great
at cleaning... so if you are feeling really generous... donations over
$100 get you 2 hours of free local housework/ help from me!
Message me to schedule that shit, I will put in good work!
