HELP US TO SAVE OUR HOME

Goal: $30,000

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

My name is Andrea, and I am reaching out to you in a time of desperate need. These past 6 months have been a series of unimaginable challenges, and I am now facing a foreclosure that threatens the safety and stability of my family.

Our Situation

I am the sole caretaker and provider for my bedridden 81-year-old mother, my autistic daughter, and my youngest daughter who also faces health challenges. We have no family in over a 700 mile radius or more.

My mother, who became bedridden 7 months ago, is awaiting another surgery, which is critical but risky. We are exploring alternatives to improve her chances of recovery and to avoid her needing a colostomy bag for the rest of her life. Caring for her 24/7 has all but destroyed my ability to work and produce income as a self-employed person.

In the last 6 months, we have faced multiple medical emergencies and are currently dealing with the house being dangerous as we found out that it has black mold, unlicensed and/or unsafe modifications made by the previous owners that we were not made aware of. Which also caused the electrical fire that destroyed half of the first floor and damaged the loft.

Now, on top of our personal struggles, these same unscrupulous individuals I bought the home from (my name is on the deed) is trying to take our home over only two missed half-payments in the past three years and a no homeowners insurance, which has been nearly impossible to get due to the illegal renovations the made and not reported.

What we need the emergency funds for:

- Attorney fees, past due mortgage and fees to fight for our home (12k)
- Special Homeowners insurance (10K) to protect our property [it’s 27K annually, this will cover the down payment and first month]

How You Can Help

1. PLEASE DONATE: Any amount, big or small, will make a difference and bring us closer to saving our home.
2. PLEASE SHARE FREQUENTLY: Spread the word about our campaign with your network to reach more people.
3. PLEASE PRAY FOR US: Your prayers are deeply appreciated and needed.

Things that will indirectly help the family during the crisis, but wont stop the foreclosure:

DONATIONS OF FOOD, TOILETRIES AND SUPPLIES: We also need items like diapers, wipes, gloves, incontinence pads, chux for my mother, and Ensure drinks, low sodium chicken soup and beef stew and fruit cups are always helpful for Mom.
Gift cards to Walmart, Lowe's and Amazon to help with needs and repairs.

This GoFundMe is our last hope to prevent losing our home and to ensure my family receives the care and stability we desperately need. Your kindness and generosity can make a profound impact on our lives.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can provide.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Andrea
