Our Goal:
We are Justice, Topher, Daniel, and Cody—a polyamorous family about to embark on an exciting new chapter together. We're moving to the Pacific Northwest to bring our family closer and build the life we've always dreamed of, and we need your help to make it happen! Your generosity will help bridge the gap between what we've saved and what we still need for this important step. We deeply appreciate your consideration and support!
Our Story:
Hi! I’m Justice Wainwright, and I live in Los Angeles with my husband, Topher, and our two cats, Erik and Lil' D. We’ve called LA home for 15 years, and we've worked hard to carve out a little life for ourselves here. But life has taken an unexpected turn, expanding our family and presenting us with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a future we never thought possible!
During the pandemic, we met Daniel and Cody, a married couple from Texas, through online spaces. What began as a fast friendship quickly blossomed into something deeper as we bonded over our shared love of carpentry, gardening, and all things crafty. After months of connecting, we finally met in person, sharing an unforgettable weekend full of new experiences and core memories—never imagining where we’d be just a year later.
Throughout 2023, we traveled back and forth to be with each other, and with each visit, saying goodbye became more and more difficult. It was during this time that Topher and I realized we had developed deeper feelings for them, but we kept them to ourselves, unsure if they felt the same.
During one of our trips to Texas, our apartment suffered a major flood. We were devastated to learn that our home would need months of demolition and construction work, and that we’d have to move. It was during this trip, while sitting at a red light, that Daniel turned to us and said, “We want to spend our lives with you both, and this seems like a perfect chance to start over.”
In retrospect, the flood was the catalyst that made us realize Los Angeles no longer felt like home—but they did.
We narrowed down a list of potential cities, weighing the pros and cons along the way. By August, the list had shortened, and it became impossible for Topher and me to ignore our feelings for Daniel and Cody. Unbeknownst to us, they were grappling with the same feelings, but were just as unsure how to express them. While polyamory wasn't something we had ever envisioned for ourselves, it felt like a natural evolution of our friendship.
By September, we were officially dating!
We’ve made the decision to close the book on our lives in California and Texas and start fresh in the Pacific Northwest, where we can live together as one family! Our goal is to move in by the end of December. While we’ve saved as much as possible, the unexpected costs from the flood have made things more challenging than we anticipated. That’s why we’re asking for your help to cover the final expenses and begin this new chapter together!
Goal:
Your contributions will help us cover essential moving costs, including:
- Travel expenses for our trip to Portland to explore potential apartments
- Securing a new apartment, including deposit and application fees
- Establishing essential utilities and services in our new home
- Packing materials and moving supplies
- Moving truck rental, insurance, and fuel for the trip from LA to Portland
- Fuel costs for transporting our Jeep
- Unforeseen expenses and other miscellaneous costs
- A financial cushion for the first few months to ensure a smooth transition
Any amount you can contribute will bring us closer to our goal, and we are deeply grateful for your generosity!
