Save Eleanor's Family from Losing Their Home

Donation protected
Hi everyone. We are Ronnie and Eleanor. And these are our little babies Leia and Daryl. My husband is a Marine corps veteran and served his country with honor. Unfortunately, at one point in his life, he lost everything and became homeless for quite a few years. He had no one to turn too. Then, we met 13 years ago and our lives changed. We fell in love, got married and built a beautiful life together along with our family and pets!! Life was blessed. We were doing well, leased a home that we stood in for 13 years. Then, tragedies struck. We lost my mother suddenly and unexpected. Then my husband had a stroke. A year later, he had a heart attack and died. He was brought back and recovered. It was a long and difficult recovery. I had to take time off work to care for. The family pulled together the best we could on our own. We rebounded somewhat and, my husband being the fighter and Marine that he is, went back to work. Then, he and my brother both lost their jobs. But we managed. He then got another job, but became stricken now with hip arthritis...but kept in working. Then his company closed. But, he did not give up. Even in excruciating pain and limited mobility, he kept his job
Then a few months ago, he had his hip replacement. All he had was disability which payed almost nothing. He tried, but we started to fall behind on bills. I work and did all I could , we all did, but it kept getting worse. That was 2 months ago. Now, as we were trying to get our lives back together, the owner of our home...and yes, it is our home because our life is here with our pets and little family, asks us to leave after 13 years. Now, we are trying to find a home for our family and fur babies. It's hard. Because not alot of places will take them. BUT WE ARE NOT GIVING THEM UP!! So we need to find a place that will accept them. The ask for extra, this that will take them, and require significant deposit and first month rent. We tried to qualify for a home, but the V.A won't even help my husband who served his country. So, we are asking for help with moving expenses. We are in dire need. We have no family to turn to at all. It's just us. So, please if you can help us in any way...it would be a blessing. Thank you....God bless.
