A Second Chance for my Beloved Friend and His Wife

A Home for Mike, Blanche, and Butch

Life has a way of testing the strongest hearts. For Mike and Blanche, resilience has always been their story. They are the kind of people who give without hesitation—who, despite facing their own struggles, always find a way to lift others up. But today, they find themselves in a heartbreaking battle against foreclosure, with the terrifying reality of losing the home that has sheltered them for years.

Mike and Blanche never imagined that trusting a second mortgage lender would lead them here. Vulnerable and in need, they fell into the hands of predatory sharks, stripping them of the stability they worked so hard to maintain. Now, time is running out, and the threat of homelessness looms over them.

Blanche, a cherished member of her church choir for decades, has always been the voice that brings comfort and joy to those around her. She has been the pillar of her family, offering strength and unwavering love. Mike, the kind of man who never hesitates to help anyone in need, has spent his life giving to others—but now, he needs a hand himself.

Then there’s Butch, their faithful companion. Butch isn’t just their pet; he’s family. Losing their home doesn’t only mean displacement for Mike and Blanche—it means Butch, too, loses everything he’s ever known. His safe space. His best friends.

But this doesn’t have to be the end of their story. With your help, we can rewrite it—one where Mike and Blanche find refuge, where they secure a new place to call home, and where Butch gets to stay by their side. We’re raising funds to provide a first and last payment for a rental, ensuring they have a place to rest their weary heads, a place where love continues to grow, and a future free from fear.

If you’ve ever known the pain of uncertainty, if you believe in the power of community and kindness, please find it in your heart to help. Mike and Blanche have spent their lives giving, and now, it’s our turn to give back.

Let’s bring them home.
