A message from our lovely Abra —

I am a terminally ill cancer patient with an evolving, unstable metastatic cancer. I am undergoing treatment to attempt to live a little longer, perhaps five or even ten years. At this stage in my... cancer I am undergoing multiple surgeries and having my medication adjusted. My treatment plan is not yet perfected. The best prognosis for me to have a chance at surviving a little longer would be for me to be able to focus on my health, not look for a new home and go through the ordeal of moving.

I am asking that the eviction notice that has been submitted to the landlord and tenant board be withdrawn.

I have lived in this apartment for 23 years and have never been late on rent. I have always kept the home clean and in good repair. I am a good tenant. Furthermore, the chances of finding a home within my restricted budget are very low (due to the amount of time I spend dealing with my cancer I cannot work very much).

Moving me from my home at this time is unreasonable. The stress that this is causing me is having an extremely negative impact on my health and could very well impact my chances at a few more good years of life.

I only ask that my life is valued more than a few thousand dollars. Please.

*** ANY DONATION PROMPT AFTER SIGNING THIS PETITION goes directly to change.org to promote the post—not to Abra and Mike (and that’s ok too!). They appreciate the support but are not asking for funds at this time. *** Thank you!
