Create a Forever Home for Julian and Caleb

As you all may know, Vanessa and I fostered our nephews Julian and Caleb for two years while their mother got her life together. Last week, their mother passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm brought on by a cancerous brain tumor and we have been given the opportunity once again to provide for these boys. Those of you who know me well know that asking for help, especially financial help, is not an option. Yet here I am. Vanessa and I want to try to create a sense of permanence for our kids. Julian keeps asking how many summers he'll be here for. Caleb wants to know if they'll be living with Johnny or with us. Their lives have been nothing but change. Our kids feel it too.

Julian and Caleb have never had a sense of belonging. They know they're loved but don't know what permanent means. Right now, we have Violet's room and Bryson's room in our house. They have a dresser currently in Violet's room. Violet doesn't want them in there playing with her dolls. Bryson will need his space as he inches closer to becoming a teenager (10 this month!).

We love the home we have. We had long term plans for it. But truthfully, it's too small for the six of us. 3 bed 2 bath.

Vanessa and I would like to ask for financial help.

Our goal is to move into a larger home so the children arent living ontop of one another. So they aren't sharing a single bathroom. So the boys can have some place to call home. With the market as it stands today, we need help to make this dream a reality.

Would you be willing to donate to this?
