Help Us Recover Our Home and Finances
Donation protected
Update: May 7th
We are so grateful for all of you who used this platform to help us in the past 5 months. Your giving has helped us begin to get our feet under us. You helped us get some needed shoes for each of us and to help us get a replacement car for a lower payment after our car was totaled. Most importantly you helped us keep up on some bills we needed to pay.
We are not out of the woods yet. Insurance is allowing housing coverage until the 15th of July. We will be in the current house until the 15th of June and then we are not sure what Insurance, or we, will find for us.
After much prayer and deliberation, I am closing the gofundme platform fundraiser for us. and I am opening a fundraiser with givesendgo. the difference with this new platform is that they are faithbased and only take 2.7% of the donations for their operating costs --this is half what this platform takes. And the new one seems to have fewer problems with people mis using it.
UPDATE: May 1st.
I am updating the updates part of go fund me about every 3 days. Sometimes that is harder than others with the rise and fall of traumatic events. We just feel like every time things seem to look up we get knocked back down,..
We have discovered a few things this past month.
1. The Crypto investment was and is a scam. We have reported them to the appropriate authorities but we are left wondering if we will ever see that money again. We are devastated.
2. My brother in law has filed motions to move the title of our house from our names to his name through my dear unknowing mother in law. He does not care that we are being put out on the street and only seeks to destroy us.
These two things have made life even more challenging as though it was not challenging enough.
We are making changes to adjust. Homeschooling is one of them.
We can make our monthly needs finally. It is the finances to get our items that have been cleaned which is overwhelming. $58K. It is such a big amount we don't know where it will come from.
As I reminder... here are the previous other things we are dealing with ....
50% loss of my husband's business income due to a faulty transformer in the city, My MIL diagnosed with Vascular dementia and my brother-in-law keeping us from her. The loss of our dog and the fire in our house that left us displaced for 6 months We are in the last month. I was in a car accident and our car was totaled in February... thankfully our replacement vehicle is a lower monthly car payment. . And now we are homeless and need to find a home we can rent with our lack of good credit and our lack of rental mortgage payment history.
The fire, the car, the crypto scam, the brother-in-law, our dog, missing Nana, Robert's business losing for reasons we could not control.... it is a lot.
All this has left us emotionally, and financially empty. We are grateful for those who have helped us already. There is much to help with. It is difficult to ask for help because we love to be the helpers. It is hard to be in the place to need help. But we ask because we are in a place of need.
Insurance has put us in a rental while our house is restored....
