Army veteran needing assistance

Donation protected
I'm not very good at writing so bare with me here, in the photo above is my brother in law Nick he's married to my sister Amanda and they have two kids Luke (6) and Joey (10).  Nick has served 6 years in the army and was deployed in 2012. He has been back for about a year and a half now. After returning home he struggled to find a god job and has been working 40-60 hours a week at a minimum wage job, just to make ends meet and in that time completely exhausted our savings just trying to keep ourselves a float. He was finally offered an excellent job in California 2,010 miles away.  He accepted the offer immediately and left on Wednesday morning with $350 in his pocket for gas and has made it there safe and sound. We know it will be a while before he starts to make good money because he has to go through school/training first. He is determined to do whatever it takes to make this work, even if it meant sleeping in his truck until he saved enough to rent a place and move us out there with him. When some friends & family members found out he was intending to live out of his truck in Los Angeles, they pulled together every dollar they could to help and thankfully it was enough to rent him a room.  As of right now the house we have been renting for the last 3 years is going into the foreclosure process and originally we were given 30 days to relocate because the bank had a buyer but the buyer backed out at the last minute, so by the grace of God we have a little more time. It has been hard on our boys because they feel like it's deployment all over again, even though we have tried to explain that it is different this time because Daddy is safe.  Its going to take a considerable amount to rent a place and move us out there but we will do whatever we have to, so that we can all be together.  We would be so grateful for any help you can offer, even if its just sharing our fundraiser page or keeping us in your prayers. God bless you all. And thank you for anything you can do to help. Even if your just share this page. If you have any questions or even words of encouragement for them feel free to email me at [email redacted]
Thank you
