Aid for a Family Facing Homelessness

Donation protected












Hello folks!


My story comes from a place that I NEVER thought I would be in... I have experienced domestic violence, threats to life with a weapon. When that was addressed, everything began to unravel in my life. I have been paying on a home for the last 8 years that was not in my name. My kids and I are now losing our home in the divorce and have to be out by July 1st. I have YET to see anything out of this, so I am struggling to find housing, work two jobs, be supportive for my kids, pay current bills, but put away money for a new place to live with my kids and our pets. I have a hard time swallowing my pride and asking anyone for anything, so this was a VERY hard thing to finally give in and ask. I love to help others, I just simply can't right now... I am the one in need... My kids and myself are desperate at this point. I have found a house that I can get into if I can come up with money down. It is a contract for deed and would help us move forward from this situation. The home needs a few minor repairs as well, so that is why I am asking for $2500 total, $2500 down, and a few repairs and a few coats of paint. **MAKING A BIT OF PROGRESS, need some help to get over the finish line!! Originally was asking for $5000, now I have managed to secure $2000 on my own** It isn't perfect and it isn't a large home, but it would be ours and no one can take that freedom away. If you have it in your heart to donate to help us... THANK YOU! If you are unable to donate, I understand, but PLEASE SHARE, as someone else may be able to donate a few dollars. Each dollar counts!! Again, thank you so much, I hope that we can cross this bridge to a new chapter and a happy life together!
