I’ve been quietly working toward a goal that means everything to my family — getting into a home of our own. After months of planning and taking steps behind the scenes, I’ve officially reached the point where I’ve spoken with a lender and have 30 days to come up with $6,000 for the down payment.

I wasn’t planning on doing this, but so many of you have asked how you could help support this journey — so I’m opening this up for anyone who wants to be a part of it.

Whether it’s donating, sharing, or just following along, it truly means more than you know. This is something I’m working so hard for, and we’re closer than ever.
