Our Home Buying StoryHi everyone —

We’re the Colbert family: Jinna, David, Dareli (10), and Jaila (9). We just wanted to take a moment to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the love and excitement you’ve shown since we shared our big surprise.

We see a few people asking how they can help — and honestly, that means the world to us. If you feel moved to give, we would welcome any and all donations. Every little bit makes a big difference as we work to make this house a home for our family.

Here’s the deeper part of the story: This isn’t just any house. We actually lived here 10 years ago — and coming back now feels like life has come full circle. The memories we made here before are so precious… from baby steps to birthday cakes. Now we have a chance to not only remember them, but to create new ones with our girls, who are growing up way too fast.

Of course, as many of you know, buying a home is no small feat — and maintaining it isn’t any easier. From the mortgage to everyday repairs (because something always squeaks, leaks, or creaks), the expenses can really pile up. But this home is worth it. It’s a fresh start, a foundation for our family, and a place where love, laughter, and maybe a few dance battles will live.

If you’re able to donate — thank you. If you can share this with others — thank you. If you’re just sending good energy our way — THANK YOU. Your kindness is helping us turn a meaningful moment into a stable future.

With love and gratitude,

The Colberts
