I come from a big family, and after losing my dad a few years ago, everyone went their separate ways. It’s been hard not having that sense of togetherness, and I’ve been searching for a way to bring my family back together. When I found this old school that’s been sitting empty for years, I saw an opportunity to create a new home and a fresh start for all of us.

My dream is to purchase this school and remodel it into a warm, welcoming place where my kids and I can live, learn, and grow. I imagine family dinners in a big dining hall, a cozy reading nook for quiet moments, and even starting a small farm on the property. I want to homeschool my children here, teaching them not just academics but also the values and traditions that mean so much to our family. This project is about more than just a building—it’s about creating a space where we can reconnect and build new memories together.

Turning this dream into reality is a big challenge, and I can’t do it alone. I appreciate each and every one of you for taking the time to read my story. If you can, please share this fundraiser with your friends and family. Your support—whether through donations or simply spreading the word—would mean the world to me. Together, we can bring life back to this old school and give my family a place to call home again.
