Mansfield Family Moving Costs
Donation protected
Our dear friends, Odyn and Bek Mansfield and their daughters, Bryenna and Excelsiah, have to leave the home they've made here in Seattle. Their visa was tied to a job at Evergreen church that they no longer have, and after pursuing every alternative they could, with the help of multiple lawyers, they have discovered that there is no way for them to stay in the US. Their job possibility in B.C., Canada didn't pan out, so they will have to return to Australia by the end of September.
They're devastated by this outcome, and it was not what they planned or wanted. We wish there were something we could do to keep them here, but since we can't, we want to do what we can for them. It will cost them approximately $50,000 to buy plane tickets for their family to Australia, ship what they can of their belongings, and replace the rest (including cars, appliances, and all their furniture). They have also had no income since July, so these expenses will also help pay for their living costs until they are able to work again. Over the next few weeks, they'll be selling much of what they own, so you can help by either:
1) Buying something from them , or
2) Donating to this fund to help them meet their goal.
As you can imagine, this is a very emotional and difficult process for them, as it is for all of us who love them and are sad to see them go. But we can help make sure that they land in Australia with enough money to restart their lives there. They also do not currently have jobs in Australia to help with these costs, so without our help, they will be in a very desperate situation. Anything you can give helps, even $5! I know it would mean a lot to them to see their friends rally around them to show our support and love for them in this time.
