My name is Joseph, and together with my fiancé Sarah and our four children, we are preparing for a big move from St. Louis, Missouri to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Both Sarah and I work as government employees, and the recent government shutdown has left us still trying to recover financially. With the uncertainty of another shutdown looming, it’s been a stressful time for our family as we try to plan for a fresh start in a new city.

The costs of moving a family of six are significant. We need to cover gas, trailers, food, and all the travel expenses that come with relocating across states. On top of that, we’re facing move-in costs for our new home and the setup of utilities—expenses that add up quickly, especially when you’re already stretched thin. Every bit of support will help us make this transition smoother and ensure our family can settle in safely and comfortably.

Sarah and I are eager to make a fresh start. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated. Your support is so huge in creating this new start for our family and we can’t say thank you enough. We’re eternally grateful for your support and we love you guys.
