Save Our Home: Support for Maine Friends
Donation protected
Hello there, this is one of the harder things I've had to do, but we are running out of options. Last year, my friends and I purchased a house in our home state of maine. We didn't have any plans other than to just live comfortably. Each of us were in hard situations prior to this and the opportunity really fell into our lap with timing and the other people involved having the credit needed to pull it off. Being a foreclosure, we moved into a house with no running water or electricity, in the first week of January. Through our own means, pex pipe, and the guidance of family and friends, we rebuilt our home and made it comfortable. New windows, floors, doors, full replacement of the bottom plate of the house, wall replacement, all done on the first year. As this year has transpired, we have hit many snags. Cars failed, surprise bills came up, our mortgage got raised thanks to the bank sending a photographer over without our knowledge, at one point the entire house of 6 people caught walking pneumonia, which led to my partner and I losing our jobs. Now we have just been informed that the bank is coming after us for 3 months of non payment on our mortgage. If we can save this place I would be putting all of my energy into building a place for people to come and skateboard/camp out year round for folks travelling to the state. If we don't come up with the money necessary I don't know what we are going to do, and I personally can't go back to living on the street again. Everyone who donates will be memorialized at our home and have a place that they can consider a rest stop if they're ever passing through. We want to dedicate ourselves to helping the community, right now we need help ourselves. Bless.
