Let me start by saying that I never thought that I would be starting one of these. Times have grown hard for many of us and my family is not an exception. After dozens upon dozens of job applications being submitted and succinctly rejected just as quickly, the tides of financial strife have begun to close in around our heads.

We are the House family. My mom, Anne, is an exceptional performing artist and member of the musical community in our small town of Denison, Texas. She has been singing for a majority of her life and has no less than twenty five years of IT and tech support experience. My dad, Chris, is a giant nerd, a veteran of the U.S. Military and the sweetest man alive. My name is Caellan. I'm a writer, a sometimes baker and caterer and aspiring cook. My aunt Claire also lives with us and she is a History Major with a degree from Vanderbilt University. All of us are able and capable of working but the odds have not been in our favor recently. With us are four small, precious pups and three Machiavellian kitty cats.

Our biggest goal right now is raise enough to help pay our mortage for the month of September. We hope to have jobs before then but we really need your help if we're going to keep our house. Every single penny helps us move forward through this incredibly hard time. I hate like Hell having to ask but if you cannot donate, please share this so that word can spread.
