I will help, but I can't seem to get back to the posts that tell where she is. I
know I saw it, and I'm pretty sure it was towards the coast. I'm in NW SC, too
far to actually be of hands-on help. I do have someone near Columbia, but that

I'll check the GoFundMe, that may answer some

back, a member of this group posted about a woman in South Carolina who needed
help in placing some cats, one of whom was FeLV positive and 9 years old, so
obviously would be immediately put down if taken to a shelter. The woman was
about to lose her own housing and was trying to place these cats so they would
not be homeless
too. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

woman, Sharon Follin Jowers, was desperately trying to find homes for her five
older cats and her son’s dog, before being forced to live on the street. When I
heard about her, my heart went out to her because Sharon clearly was motivated
first and foremost about concern for where her animals were going to end up if
she became homeless.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

quite a while looking into the situation because, frankly, I wanted to know if
there was a better answer than placing her adult animals with strangers and her
losing her house. I also wanted to be sure that it wasn’t a
scam.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Arial","sans-serif"; COLOR: black'>I have
now spoken to Sharon on a few occasions, and emailed back and forth with her. I
think that not only is her situation legit, but it is far worse than I initially
imagined. She has severe COPD and was approved for a double-lung transplant, but
that is now in jeopardy because she doesn’t have stable housing nor a car to get
her to the city where the transplant was to take place, along with the numerous
treatments before and after the transplant. She lives on oxygen and can barely
move around and is so emaciated it is disturbing. Not surprisingly, this is very
much hampering her ability to find new housing.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Arial","sans-serif"; COLOR: black'>The
issue with the housing, as best as I can understand it as a Canadian and not
being familiar with South Carolina, etc., is that she had accommodations which
were paid for by the state, but that housing had to meet certain standards. Her
landlord refused to fix the plumbing and there was mold found from previous
flooding, and so the state refused to pay him and he evicted her. She paid her
part of her January rent but the state did not pay its share because of the
condition of disrepair. She was evicted shortly after that. She has a Form 8 (I
think) certificate which means that if she can find appropriate housing, the
state will cover the rent, but she has not been able to find any accommodations
which satisfy the state and medical requirements – for example, the place has to
have no stairs. This isn’t her intractability – it is what has been written down
as a condition of the state funding the rent. Right now, she is in a one-bedroom
motel room. The rent is daily (no discounts for longer stays) and it is $41.99
per night plus tax. This doesn’t seem like much until you realize that 10 days
is over $400.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

decided to continue to assist her and I have found a number of excellent options

I will underwrite the bulk of the purchase or rent of a motor home until I can
get some funds from my friends, but obviously, time is of the essence and (a) I
am run off my feet at work and (b) I could really use someone down there to do
the legwork. It is extremely cumbersome, and fraught with problems, to try and
do this long distance but I will do it one way or the other. Problem is that it
will probably delay things more, and I would sure prefer that the money go to
the purchase or rent of a more permanent housing arrangement then daily rent at
the motel.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

be so very appreciative if each of you would consider donating to her GoFundMe
campaign. Every little bit would help. She is an animal lover like all of us,
and the fact that she is putting the welfare of her animals before her own needs
and health, really deserves some support from us. I know that not everyone is in
a position to donate some money, and believe me – I know what it is like to be
strapped beyond belief – but if at all possible, I would consider it a personal
favour if each of you would see if you are able to donate something to her. Even
$50 will cover a night in the motel room. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
