The Vestal's Little House on the Prairie

Hi Y'all! First off, let me just say how difficult it was for me to even set this up. No one likes asking for help, but sometimes you really need it. I wasn't planning to do this, but I've had 6 different friends ask me to start a Go Fund Me, so our loved one might be able to help us out during this trial.

Many of you know our situation. But for those who don't, let me try and catch you up. The short and sweet version is this: We have been living in and raising all 3 of our girls in our current house, for the last 12 years. Our landlord decided to retire and put all of her rental properties up for sale. Four days after our place went online, it had a contract put on it and we were told that we had 30 days to vacate. I immediately asked for an extension, but was told "no."

We searched for another rental, but couldn't get one because of our pets. The only mortgage loan we qualified for was one that would require at least 20% down. (Something we just could not afford.) So... since Adam does home construction and remodeling for a living, we decided to build a tiny home.

We've both missed weeks of work and have run ourselves into the ground to try and build, pack, sell and store everything, in order to be out of here within the 30 day time limit we were given. We have gone through the small savings that we had, maxed out credit cards and had friends working for free, almost around the clock, to help Adam finish our house. Despite all of our efforts, we have reached the point of having to go back to work full time-- because we still have bills to pay and we've pretty much run out money to finish our "little house on the prairie" in the time frame in which we were given.

Like I mentioned above, we have friends and family that have asked us to start a Go Fund Me because they want to help, but can't physically be here to do so. We are still in need of putting in a septic system, getting a hot water heater, finishing the plumbing, getting counter tops, cabinets, light fixtures, a stove, fixing the driveway area, putting up a little fenced in area for our dogs and paint. The reason I've set our goal as such is because the septic alone is going to be between $3000 & $4000-- and we are basically living on what's left on our credit cards right now.

Again, asking for monetary help is quite hard for us to do. But I had a dear friend remind me that we are loved by many people that WANT to help us out-- and every little bit will help in one way or another. So if you are one of those people that are willing and able to help us out, we would truly appreciate it.
