Help Move Mom and 2 young kids

Those who know me and my girls know that we have been through a LOT the last few years. This isn't the place for those details, but to put it nicely, we could say it is Not Good.

We  want a chance for things to be better. Moving would give us this chance. My Girls are ages 6 and 3, and we have a unique opportunity to relocate to a Much Better place, living close and closer to the friends and family who have been so far away for the last 3 years.

My sister is also disabled and chronically ill and I need her about as much as she really needs me at this point. Being able to live close to her would make a world of difference for all of us. In recent years we've been lucky if we could see each other even once a year...

While visiting her this year in August, we found out that the apartment upstairs from her will be available at the end of October! This would be so amazingly perfect for all of us! It might not be the cheapest neighborhood, but it is a safe and frienly town, and a great place to raise children. Also, we've been told that the utilities are included! There are so many ways that this would be such a Great Opportunity, that we just have to try for it!

I've been growing my online business for a few years now, and have some great Ideas for expanding the business and income. But knowing that I need to move, I've been waiting for that to happen first. Putting a small business on hold just for vacation can be tricky. Adding a lot of stock to move, and keep track of it for all the time it takes to pack and move would make it that much harder.

And this would be the perfect town to expand in, as it is a very Art and Artist-Friendly town with LOTS of small shops and galleries!!

My Problem, is that I wasn't planning to move until June of  2018, so I have no Moving Money saved up yet. The last several years have definitely been more downs than ups, with no sign of things changing, unless something Big happens to make a difference.

My sister has already begun helping me put out feelers for several potential "real" jobs here, if I manage to get the funds to move in time. So I am 99% certain once Moved in, within 3 months I would be able to manage supporting myself and my girls as far as rent is concerned.

So my Goal right now, with GoFundMe... is to Help get the funds to Move myself and my Girls by November 1st.

If the amount I'm asking seems high, please know that every single penny will be for the move and nothing else. It will be for...
* paying up to 3 months worth of rent,
* renting a truck to move our belongings,
* hiring people (hopefully inexpensive friends!) to help move the furniture up 3 flights to the new place.

IF by some chance there is any money left over after those main priorities, it will be used strictly for related costs of moving, supplying our new apartment with basic necessities, school transitions, and the other  unexpected costs that always come along.

This move is just the first step in a much needed major life change. You are helping us in many more ways than you could possibly imagine, by helping me provide a very Safe and healthy environment to raise my girls, compared to our current one.

We need to meet our goal at least Half Way by September 1st to claim the apartment.. and ALL the way by October 15 so we can make the move.

With your help I will finally feel like I can give my children the life they deserve.  You have no idea how wonderful it would be and how much of a relief on my constant worries, and all the anxiety that would be put aside. My overall health, and the long term health of my children will benefit from this so greatly, words cannot express the gratitude I am feeling for everyone who is willing to help.

The girls and I thank you for reading this far, as does my sister who will also benefit with much needed help from having family nearby. We hope you will find it in your heart to spare what you can and help make this corner of the world a better place. 

Wishing you happiness, and all the best to you and yours!
