Help Us Save Our Home Before It’s Too Late


Hi everyone, My name is Bobbie Peterson, and I never imagined I would be in a position where I have to ask for help like this… But today, I’m reaching out with humility and hope. This isn’t just about a house, this is our home. The place where we’ve built memories, found comfort, and felt safe. Unfortunately, that safety is now at risk.

What We’re Facing


Over time, we began noticing small issues, but what we’ve discovered has turned into

something much more serious and urgent:

● The ground beneath parts of our home is eroding, putting the entire foundation at risk

● Large sections of the house have rotting siding and structural wood damage from

long-term moisture

● Our porch and support pillars are weakening, creating safety concerns

● Inside, we’re dealing with water damage from ongoing leaks. We brought in professionals, hoping for manageable repairs, but the reality is overwhelming.

These are urgent structural issues, and if we don’t act quickly, the damage will continue to spread, making our home unsafe and even more costly to repair.


What Needs to Be Done


To restore safety and stability, the following critical repairs are needed:

● Stabilizing the foundation and addressing soil erosion (~$30,000)

● Replacing damaged siding and exterior wood (~$20,000)

● Repairing and reinforcing the porch and support pillars

● Fixing interior water damage and stopping ongoing leaks

● Covering additional structural issues that may be uncovered during repairs

Our Goal: $140,000


This goal reflects both the known repair costs and a necessary cushion for hidden damages, something contractors have warned us is very likely once work begins.


Who I Am & Why This Matters


I’m not just raising funds for a building, I’m fighting to protect the place my family calls home. This is where we live, grow, and feel secure. Losing that stability is something we’re trying desperately to prevent.


How Funds Will Be Raised


We are raising funds through GoFundMe, relying on:

● Generous donations from kind-hearted individuals like you

● Sharing this campaign across communities, friends, and social platforms

● Support from anyone willing to help us spread the word Every share and every contribution brings us one step closer to saving our home.


How Funds Will Be Managed & Delivered

Transparency is very important to us:


● All funds will be securely processed through GoFundMe

● Withdrawn funds will go directly toward verified contractors and repair professionals

● Payments will be made for materials, labor, and inspections required to complete the work

● We will provide updates, progress reports, and receipts so you can see exactly how

your support is being used


Why Your Help Matters


We are doing everything we can on our own, but this situation is simply beyond what we can handle alone. Your support, no matter how small, can help us prevent further damage, restore safety, and protect our home from becoming unlivable. From Our Heart to Yours If you can donate, thank you. If you can share, thank you. If you can simply keep us in your thoughts, that means more than you know. We truly believe that with your help, we can overcome this and rebuild what’s been damaged.
