Support the Clouse Family's Journey to Healing

We are the Clouse family. It is myself, Pamela, and my two children. We are asking for support to help us buy a home. A safe place to live and heal from past and current trauma caused by a broken marriage and home.

Our current situation is less than ideal, living in the same house with my covert narcissist ex-husband who doesn't help financially with the children at all. I have yet to receive a penny in child support, he finds excuses not to pay his half of the bills so that I have to pay them in full to keep the lights and water going for us and so that we don't end up in foreclosure. He won't even wash his own dishes. I have been working tirelessly to save money to get us a place to live and cannot afford to get us a place after over a year. I have explored every avenue to try and raise money or get a loan and just cannot seem to get ahead. Our house has been for sale since before the divorce, and my ex-husband refuses to cooperate and lower the price to help the property sell so we can move on. My children have been suffering emotionally, and it just breaks me to have to live this way still.

As if just living here in the same place as the ex-husband wasn't enough trauma, he is now playing house with his girlfriend and bringing her over for sleepovers. The children do not need to be a part of that. I am even having to share a room with my son. We all just need our own space and need to be away from their dad. Buying a house would be the most ideal for us so my children would feel safe and secure knowing we have a place to live always. A place where we can lock the doors and won't find a stranger in the kitchen in the middle of the night. If you cannot contribute, please consider sharing with your friends and family.
