Without help, John will become homeless. He has no car to live in. Nobody else to turn to.
Here is John's long post from the lounge yesterday that explains everything: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10182278898
His gofundme link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-john-mckusick-overcome-health-and-financial-struggles
I do believe John has been honest and upfront with the DU when he asks for help. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Can we get John to when his benefits should start? It is a lofty goal.
The current Trump administration has made it clear that former resources have dried up by design. Look at the food pantries. Look at utility help programs. Trump gets a kick out of kicking a person down on his or her luck. It's his nature.
It looks like John has only raised $25 since his post went up yesterday. I hope we can do much better than this. Even a small donation adds up.
Please keep this kicked and give it an R, so everyone sees this.
In solidarity,
OS
