Support Dad: Save Our Family Home

Help My Dad Keep His Home

Hi, my name is Betsey, and I’m reaching out with a heavy but hopeful heart.

Six years ago, our family was rocked by the sudden loss of my mom. She was the heart of our home, and my dad has carried the weight of that grief every day since. He’s always been a funny, hardworking man—someone who gave his all for his family and never asked for anything in return.

Last year, life threw another devastating blow: my dad suffered a massive heart attack. Since then, he’s been living with us as he works to regain his strength, one slow, determined step at a time. While we’ve been grateful just to still have him with us, the reality is that his recovery has made it impossible for him to keep up with the property taxes on the home.

He now owes $18,000 in back taxes. If we can’t raise the funds soon, they are going to auction off his home on August 8th, 2025.

My dad would never ask for help, but I am. He’s done so much for our family, and now I want to do everything I can to help him keep the house long enough to clear it out, and plan our next course of action.

Any donation—big or small—would mean the world to us. And if you’re unable to give right now, please consider sharing this link. It all helps.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for being part of something that gives my dad a little more peace and stability in his life.

With love and gratitude,

Betsey Burgard
