Journey Ramsey Needs US now, let pay it forward to

Donation protected
I have been in contact with Journey :-) she would like to send a huge heart felt thank you to all of you amazing people who have donated to her; she continues to look for options, but currently the only one that appears t be reasonable is that she and John, the dog and cats live in a camper on her daughters property and the hope to build an in-law for them on Becky's home is the plan. This may cost way more than the $20,000 but our goal will remain the same until more accurate figures for a build are put into place. Journey sends her love to each and every one of you.

This Gofundme account is being set up to assist an amazing person who gives so much of herself to others every day. Journey Ramsey is the cofounder of It Takes a Village which provides thousands of dollars worth of Christmas gifts to local children every year and a board member of Maine Homeless Veterans Association. Yesterday she found herself in the same situation as the homeless neighbors she supports every week. Journey was given an eviction notice by her landlord, she has 30 days to leave the home she, her husband and their old dog Sophie have lived in for the past 7 years. Journey and her family have done nothing wrong in this situation to be evicted, her Landlord needs the house they are in for a family member and unfortunately Journey and her family have been asked to vacate to accommodate this need. The timing for this is not great as Journey's vehicle also is in the shop and needs work so her transportation is in jeopardy; when it rains it pours.
My Fathers Hands A homeless Outreach is setting up this Gofundme where all proceeds will go to Journey for housing and to give her reliable transportation. Due to the lack of affordable housing today and the fact that Sophie their beautiful five year old dog comes with the package, we are asking for $20,000 to assist with moving costs to include a dumpster rental (7 years of stuff adds up), security deposit, rent for a couple of months until she is able to get on her feet, or for whatever housing she is able to find that is suitable for she and her family. Journey is on disability and her husband is on social security so income is limited to do the things that is needed to be done in moving out of a long term home quickly.
Journey has given so much of herself to her community and beyond, it is now our turn to pay it forward to this amazing Lady. No donation is to small or to big, remember this is a hand up no matter what you can give. Much Love to you all
