Family of 4 Needs Heat & Rent $$$
Donation protected
We are setting up this GoFundMe Page for the Stockwell/Delorey Family of 4 because they are in, and have been in, financial hardship. Megan Delorey (Mom) also has physical and medical hardships, and their oldest son has the same medical disorder as Megan - which takes it toll on both mother and son at times.
During this Christmas season, when the family should only have to worry about buying presents for the two boys - ages 7 1/2 and almost 9, they are worried about being evicted by their new landlord - due to being $200 short on their rent payment. On top of this, they have to leave their electric heat turned off, because of the high cost of the electric bill, which they cannot afford. Although their apartment is small, it is a roof over this family's head, and we would like to make sure they continue to be able to stay there. Having just moved into this apartment in October, it would be a terrible strain on the Stockwell/Delorey family to be forced out, possibly into a shelter - if they are unable to continue to pay rent.
Justin works in carpentry and Megan babysits for friends, for a small fee. Carpentry and construction slows way down in the winter here in Massachusetts. If there is no work, Justin does not get paid - which has been the case lately. He is looking for continued work, such as plowing, but he is unable to find something steady. With Megan's health issues, she is unable to work at a full-time position, and is trying to get approved for Disability. With our broken SSD system, she has been denied two-times, but will continue to fight with a lawyer. Unfortunately, she may not get approved, and probably will not know either way for at least another year.
This is truly a good family! Even with their hardships, they have found the time and energy to volunteer for the past three seasons as their sons' baseball coach and coaching-assistant for Millbury Youth Baseball. They give back to our community when they are able. And before Thanksgiving, when they had little, they offered the extra boxed and canned food they had to anyone in need!
This is why we are asking for at least $5,000 for this family, to just lighten their load a little bit. It would allow them to feel less stressed about where their next rent payment is coming from, or how they will pay their heating bill. All donations will get directly deposited into their checking account.
Thank you for even the smallest donation. We know it will make a difference in this family's life, and they will be eternally grateful for any and all help.
With Gratitude,
The Corey Family
