He Left Her w/.Home in Foreclosure!

Donation protected
I have had this fundraiser set up since September, but now that the circumstances have changed, the need is even more pressing, and it is time to not sugar coat my sister's situation. She is the hardest working woman I know, but when I said: "and not the sole, but the main provider for a family of 5, including two step-children whom she adores, and my darling niece, her 3-year old daughter Camilla Autumn," I was trying to be respectful of her fiancé. Truthfully, my sister HAS been the sole provider for her family of 5, including supporting her now ex-fiancé, not because he didn't have a job, but because he was "frustrated with everything," (his own words) and just stopped contributing to the household bills or care of his children. From January 31st, 2014, until today's date, January 21st, 2015, he sporadically gave money towards bills. My sister tracked it, because she had the feeling this was going to end badly, & his contributions average out to $150.75 per month over the past 12 months. She works two jobs, but was trying to feed 5 people, purchase household necessities, as well as pay a mortgage, home equity loan, water/sewage, garbage, electric, & even had to pay his car insurance 8 out of the past 12 months. No one knows where his paychecks were going, but they were not supporting his 3-year old daughter, or his 15-year old son to his ex-wife.

Holly has been attending college full-time since January 2012, & after already obtaining her Associate's Degree, is now on her way to her Bachelor's. She works one, full-time job and one, part-time job. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in October 2014, & her ex-fiancé is now leaving her to deal with a 2-storey home by herself, & bestowing upon her single motherhood & the full-time care of his now 16-year old son & their 3-year old daughter. In his wake, he leaves behind over $6,000 worth of debt, including a home in foreclosure, despite our best efforts to keep it at bay. The one thing this man has been consistent with is his refusal to support his own family, & even though she filed for support for Camilla weeks ago, the hearing didn't get scheduled until March & it will take even more time for the first payments to finally start coming.

Please help me help my sister to not lose this home she has worked so hard to keep for years now. If it wasn't for his actions, they made enough money together to pay their bills fully, & this should never have happened to her. My adorable, sweet-hearted, loving niece does not deserve to be uprooted from her home because her "daddy" decided to not behave like one for the past 12 months. It is bad enough Holly has to face this pressure & stress with Multiple Sclerosis & without a partner by her side to help, when all she ever wanted for her daughter was a loving family who stuck together. But the last thing she needs on top of the anxiety & grieving & heartache is to watch the sheriff lock her & the kids out of their home.

Even $5 at a time, we can help someone who works her butt off to better herself every single day, & who fights hard for her family & fights against a degenerative disease. Who has managed to maintain a 3.9 GPA in the face of her world unraveling around her, & still faces her 50+ hour workweek with a smile for everyone. Thank you & God Bless!
