Save our home (adoptive family w/disabilities)
Donation protected
If we don't come up with a solution in 90 days, my family will lose our home. I am a Texas mother, advocate, and educator who is on the autism spectrum. I have a beautiful family of biological and adopted children, all of whom have one or more disabilities.
We have lived for 4 years in an owner-financed home that we love, but if we cannot secure a (nontraditional) home loan or find a way to make a huge balloon payment by October 31, 2019, we will lose the home, the memories, and all of the money we have invested into it. We are diligent, hard workers and could afford this home if we had a conventional mortgage, but we are unable to come up with the amount of money nor the credit score needed to keep our home. (The total amount I am asking for includes the GoFundMe fees of 2.9% and $.030 per donation that are deducted.)
If you could find it in your heart to help us, it would mean the world to us. By "help" I am referring to if you have connections/resources that could help us to qualify for some sort of home loan despite having poor credit, and/or donating, and/or sharing this fundraiser with others, or something else that I haven't thought of yet. I am open to creative solutions as long as they're legal and ethical!
Perhaps saving the home is an unrealistic pipe dream and I need to accept that it's impossible, but I have to feel that I tried EVERYTHING I could to save the home before I just give up because my kids are worth it. Any amount helps and EVERY SINGLE DIME will be used SOLELY for the purpose of saving our home (I will gladly post receipts as evidence of this).
Whether or not you can give, please share this link. I have not had to crowdfund for a long time and I wish I didn't have to do so now, but I don't know what else to do. All I can do is hope and pray that maybe things can work out for us...and deal with the aftermath if they don't.
If anyone wants to help but would prefer not to use GoFundMe, you are welcome to contribute directly to the neutral third party company who handles matters related to our home. They serve as an intermediary between us and the seller. Direct payments of any amount can be made via wire or mail to Escrow Specialists on behalf of Account #29777 for the Onaiwu family; I will place the information to do so below. Feel free to check out the company to ensure that it is legit; their website is http://escrowspecialists.com
I truly appreciate your support more than you could ever know.
