Nowhere to Call Home in Cancer Fight for Life!

Donation protected
After a move from one coast to the other, where they were hoping to land on better times, the  Kimm family is now fighting a developer when their focus should be on fighting a stage 4 cancer diagnosis.

Joanne and Jack moved to Nova Scotia in 2019, to be closer to family,  and to buy their forever home.  A military veteran of 22 years, Jack often spent time on course in Halifax, thus the draw to this beautiful province of Nova Scotia.  But when they tried to buy a home, what happened was a nightmare.
 
After finding the perfect house, then losing their home before they could even move in, then winning a small claims court case, they are now having to fight an appeal by the developer, who wants the money back!   And, with Jack now facing a stage 4 cancer prognosis, this is literally turning into a fight they can't afford to lose!
 
Their story is one that will make every first-time home buyer cringe.  The link to a news article written about their story (below) will explain the whole story.  It's heartbreaking how their story unfolds.
 

Here is the court decision Nova Scotia Small Claims Court Decision 
 
 
Let's not let this couple think they were wrong to move here. We Nova Scotians are not at all like this! We are a friendly bunch and that is what makes the East Coast a great place to live.
 
They would like to put this stressful experience behind them,  and move forward and focus on Jack's health.  But, this nightmare is continuing, causing even more stress and financial strain on them.  All they wanted was a house,  but now with these extra legal and health costs, a house is slowly moving out of reach unless we can help them.
