Please consider donating to help Helena, a 79-year-old resident of Pasadena, Texas, escape her deplorable living conditions. Over 6 years, her small apartment has been overrun by roaches, bedbugs, mold, and worse (the photos are absolutely heartbreaking). While one of our members is generously donating necessary home medical equipment to Helena, she is short the funds to move to a safe and clean apartment.

A GoFundMe has been set up to secure Helena a new apartment, basic necessities, and a fresh start. Your donation, big or small, can be the turning point in Helena's life.

Please donate, like, share, and spread the word to help change Helena's life!
