Help Us Save Our House!

Donation protected
For 16 years, I have grown up in my home, and spent all of my life here. In the past few years, however, my mom has had two strokes, and is bedridden.; she isn't working anymore and we can't afford our house.

Our bills have piled up, unfortunately, on top of my mom's hospital bills, and the best and the bank is forcing us to leave. A move would be disastrous for her and my autistic brother, because of the huge, life-changing move. My father's job is unable to support us because he is in a difficult field to keep consistent, full time work, but he isn't trying to keep all of us afloat.

In the last two weeks, our only fully-functioning car was just repossessed, so my dad is driving an unsafe car just to get to his job, and we really need help. 

Any donation is helpful, because we are currently in the process of being forclosed on by the bank. We have less than 60 days to be out, unless we experience a miracle, which is what I'm here for. 

Our outstanding balances are:
-$60,000 to pay the past-due on the house
-$10,000 for my mom's medical bills
-$5,000 for my brother's dentist bills

Anything else will go towards our house or any future bills.

When I was 15, my mother became permanently disabled with Fibromyalga and Lupus. Over the years, her condition has been slowly made it harder for her to even get up in the mornings. She couldn't work as a result, and now our incomes are only to one parent in a household of four. As of now, she has had two strokes, and one side of her whole body is now completely numb as a result. She loves our house, and a move for her right now would be impossibly hard for her to cope with. Her medical bills from frequent hospital visits have made it impossible for any of us to keep up with paying for bills. 



My brother's name is Stevie and he is 27 years old. He was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at 3 years old, and has always had trouble with his teeth since he was little. Recently, he has developed multiple cavities that have been putting gaping holes in his teeth. He is experiencing so much pain that he can barely cope with; he has begun punching at his own face to try and alleviate the pain from multiple cavities. This is another bill that is just adding onto the multiple costs we already have to handle. 

My father filed for bankruptcy, but just last week, he was laid off from his job, too, and now is unable to pay for any lawyers or the mortgage payment. We are all trying our best to help out, but within a month, our family home could belong to someone else. This is the place we spend holidays with family, and where we make our memories together. My brother, having Autism, would find a move to be devastating to him because he loves it here so much. He has friends at the local Jewel and gas station that he walks to every day. A move would completely throw his world upside down, and I would hate to see that. 


I am a student in college right now, and I am simply trying to gain some money to try and help my family as much as I can. 

I am pleading anyone to please take a look, and consider giving any help they can. Any contribution will be a great help!
