Aim: To assist payment of rent and other monthly expenses

My name is Robert Werner and I recently turned 80 years of age.  I have been a resident of Boynton Beach, FL since 2008 (transplanted New Yorker)

Two years ago, my rent increased 40% to $1,900 per month.  In addition, I am subject to a late fee of $150 if rent is not paid by the 5th of the month.  My sole source of income is social security of $2,176 per month.  Additionally I receive $106 EBT (food assistance) per month and have a $200 credit to cover my utilities.  Clearly, $26.50 per week is insufficient to pay for groceries.  My other monthly expenses include mobile phone TV and internet charges.

I have attempted to obtain employment, but as soon as prospective employers read my education and work experience they are able to determine my age.  Needless to say, I never hear from them again!  Who says there is no discrimination in the workplace.  Additionally, my car died about 6 weeks ago and I have no means of adequate transportation to attend work.

For all the prospective donors, my sincere thanks for reading my story and any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
