Help Us Save Our Home and Future
Donation protected
In 2011, Brian and I moved to Gloucester, Virginia, to be closer to my parents after my father’s open heart surgery. We bought land and a house that needed a lot of work, but we saw its potential and poured years of effort into making it a home. Brian, a skilled carpenter, dedicated himself to renovations—raising ceilings, installing floors, drywall, insulation, and siding. We invested our time, money, and hearts into creating a safe place for our family, working side by side to make it livable.
Despite all we’ve done, we recently learned that our names were never added to the deed. My mother has taken legal steps to keep us out of the home, including filing orders of protection and pursuing eviction. The emotional toll has been overwhelming—mentally, financially, and spiritually. We have lived here for 15 years, and now, with only days left, we are at risk of losing not just our home, but everything inside it. If we can’t raise the funds for the appeal bond in time, we will have to leave with nothing.
We are asking for urgent help to cover the appeal bond so we can fight to stay in our home. Any support—whether through donations, legal advice, or simply sharing our story—means the world to us. I have always stayed close to my parents, and this betrayal is deeply painful, but I still love my mother and father. We are hoping for a chance to keep the home we built and the life we’ve worked so hard for.
