Support Loe's Journey to Keep Their Home

Hello, I'm Loe, you've probably seen my art or met me as a general neighbor due to mutual friends on the web or in person/work. I'm in trouble, I have nothing I can do more immediate than asking for your help. I bought this house with the bit of money I inherited from my mother's death back in 2021, out of grievance and solace, I searched for months to find a home and found this place in Cartersville, GA, Mar 2022. I grew up in Georgia all my life and always found beauty here and purpose - I was working here multiple times in my career but never settled to look around until 2022. It was affordable for me at the time before inflation and over the 2 years i was continuing my career with a Credit union, they decided my pay was sufficient compared to everything outside goin on, when in reality i wasn't making enough anymore to pay for food. I wasn't buying anything frugal, just affording what I could. The job was mentally destroying me and pushing me into dark thoughts of them and the world. I barely could afford food at this point, so I asked for help and yet still after being there every day except weekends, I couldn't suffer in this career and lose my house at the same time. I was caught in a scheme loan to pay back them after borrowing funds from my own 401k. They wouldn't allow me to have what I needed with hardship. As i paid it more with each paycheck, the more the debt grew into the home of what I owed on payments. My boss didn't care.

I tried to consider a friend to help the home cost, by renting out my office to him, turns out it was a poor relationship of respect towards my home and earnings, it was more of my kindness being taken advantage of to every end. Mentally, physically, emotionally...I used about $700-800 of my own funds to invest in him and his move here. He spent even his own funds to do so as well, but i did food and travel cost (my plane ticket to get there and drive down with him, hotel cost for a night, food for us all the way down and even after), and was charging him rather low ($300) for rent that he only did for a month. He was here a few months, I was guilted to the end of how I wasn't being aware of him enough as he didn't learn things well often to respect my own expectations of him. The situation got worse and I decided to not take his last month of funds since he was goin to need all the funds again to travel back home. He was a fellow peer and artist i respected highly so it broke my bank to try this at all and broke my heart when he didn't care about the plans we took months doing. This was prior to quitting my job we decided to move him down.

I was able to save my house before with all of my 401k and pension I earned after 5 years of work at that Credit Union. It lasted a bit but I was stuck still searching for work with no results, and even trying to resort to commissions when I couldn't get money to afford food. But I've been suffering health wise and my heart issues has been causing my energy to drop where i would literally have to pass out for the day to rest. It defeats me mentally where I can't draw with any motivation. I keep having to catch up even those commissions for affordable rates.

I've been in a loop of scrounging up change and barely having enough to keep the internet/utilities/phone paid and connected. I'm at a loss of what I can do to save this house a third time. I'm now in an active foreclosure again and the only way to continue my dream here is to ask for your help.

I'm always giving my money up towards this home because I plan to build an open studio for all in my shed to the left of the house. I am only asking to help fund the cost of fees/house payments I can't seem to beat. This is to only save my house currently. I am always actively applying for work. I just want my home to still be here so I can make my dream a reality.

If we succeed I will be able to stay here and create the content I've been pushing towards. I want to interview artists and create a safe neighborhood for others to come here and feel like they have a home to express their worries and hear my stories on how i conquered this life with friends. I genuinely want to hear theirs and make them feel proud to express themselves at all.

I'm always meeting new faces and hearing tragedies that uplift us to the joys we strive for. I only exist out of love and only want to encourage the same onto others. I have been researching local artists in Georgia and actively boosting others in the world to see their content. If you know my twitter - i tend to just share everyone's work over my own just so you have the same chance to see the beauty i see.

Please help me save my home and I will always continue my service to serve others in need. I will pick up trash outside like always, ask others to give my bugs a chance to live and pollinate our world, ask if you need to sit and talk I will always listen. I was taught to be patient and love honestly, I just learned from all those here and more because of it. Thank you to anyone that donates. I hope I can continue this dream and life with your help. Thank you.
