From Layoffs to Stability: Purchase a Home

Hello! I am humbled coming on this platform to ask for help. I never thought I would do this or have the nerve to do it. This desire I have to own this home is very strong. I stand on faith, but I also know faith without action cannot work. I used to work in an industry that had many ups and downs, but I enjoyed that industry, so I dealt with the consequences that came, which were layoffs and finding a way to still stand and survive.

In the midst of my life, I moved back to my hometown and was looking for an apartment. A childhood friend asked if I would was able to help take care of a 91 year old gentleman. He didn’t have anyone else to help take care of him on a regular basis. I said let me meet him. The gentleman was very kind and his mind was extremely sharp! The gentleman and I got along very well. I moved in and made sure he had his meals, able to make his appointments and conversation. Needless to say six months later, at 91, his heart eventually gave out. I thought we would have more time together, but we didn’t.

I really want to purchase his home. Crazy I say that because I never wanted home responsibility before. But this house brings peace, comfort, and stability—something I have not experienced before. Oh, in case you are wondering why I don’t use my 401k or something, as I stated there were several layoffs in my career, along with moves. In order to survive during those times, I used that money to live. I am now out of that industry, as I do desire a more stable life in my own latter years. I humbly ask for help so I can purchase the home.
