Hi, we're the Barnaby's and we are trying to buy the house we are currently living in so we don't go homeless. In 2014 my father passed away and since then it has just been my mother and I working hard to provide for our family. She had been working at the same store for a few years before it shut down and she lost her job. It was a really hard time for my family financially we had a hard time keeping up on bills while also trying to keep a roof over our head and eat but we managed but of course with some debt built up. She finally found a job in 2019 and we have been doing our best to catch everything up from the year before when neither of us had a job but it hasn't been easy and as close as we are we just have completely paid everything off so our credit isn't in the best spot. Then 2020 happened and it was a very hard year for everyone everywhere including us. We were in a few tight spots during the pandemic.  All of this brings us to now our landlords would like to sell the house we are living in and they want to sell it to us! Which we are super happy and excited about doing but, with our credits both being pretty low, we don't qualify for down payment assistance, and even with both of the little bits of savings we have put together it isn't enough to cover the downpayment so we are asking for your help to help 1st put a down payment on the house and 2nd the closing cost on the house too! We really love and appreciate and love the little community we live in and we would love to stay here as long as we can! Thank you for reading our story and thank you if you can help and thank you for sharing if you can. We really are appreciative and grateful for every little bit of help we get!
