Help for my Niece

Last edited Wed Mar 19, 2025, 09:09 PM - Edit history (1)

Hello, I'm a long-time DU member, but been too busy to post much lately. I just found out my step-niece who i haven't seen in years is facing eviction, and sadly, I've never even met her kids. There has been some estrangement in the family, not on my part, or by anything I've done, but she has been reconnecting with some family members over the past few years, and I've been hoping to reconnect with her in time as well.

Anyway, she created a Go-Fund-Me account, and since I've donated to many of these on DU in the past, I thought I'd post hers to help her out. If anyone can spare a little, I know it would be greatly appreciated. She is a single mom with three kids, 13, 10 and 6, she has a job in the medical field, but as she says, even though she sends out bills, the insurance companies are slow to compensate her. I believe this is true as I volunteer at my town ambulance and we don't get compensated by insurance companies for most ambulance calls until two-three months later.

Thanks for reading this and for your help. Also, if anyone knows of help for people in these types of situations in the state of MD, can you please let me know, so I can forward it on to my other niece, who she is in contact with. Thanks again.

Oops, forgot to post the link earlier, here it is:
