My name is Joseph and I live on the San Francisco peninsula. Back in 2024, at the height of the COVID pandemic, I became homeless. From October 2024 until April 2024, I resided in a shelter where I did my best to cooperate with the shelter program, including washing floors and volunteering for other chores as required. My age and situation qualified me to be "housed" in a low-income senior apartment complex. I draw a small social security retirement benefit and my medical needs (including dental) are completely covered by Medicare and Medi-Cal insurance. I have also been receiving "food stamps" (an EBT account) which included an extra allotment representing COVID relief. Those funds were discontinued as of April 2024. This reduction in financial assistance has made an already difficult situation even worse and I am now struggling. The experience of the past few years has had a profound effect on me emotionally, mentally, and psychologically. I fear situations that appear to be too stressful and I am hesitant to place myself in a situation that may overwhelm me. In early 2024, I was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease that often brings on fatigue. I make regular trips to the doctor and I am trying to find a mental health professional who would take my insurance. It is all a lot to deal with right now. Over the past few years, I have been trying to develop a couple of YouTube channels. Progress is slow, but progress is being made. LFEBridge requires that I set a "goal." I have posted a financial goal of $10,350: $10,000 represents the amount I would like to raise in one year and $350 is an estimation of the total fees that would be collected by LFEBridge in this campaign. There is a lot more to my story which you can read on my "bio" page on this website: OurLadyOfRefugeMonastery and my YouTube Channel: Monastic Musings Please know that I daily pray for my benefactors and for all those whom they love! May God abundantly bless you for your kindness!
