Help the Graves Family stay in their dream home!
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Bronson Graves, and this is my family. My wife Bianca and I are blessed to have two intelligent, amazing kids. Like most families, we are hard-working blue-collar parents struggling to stay afloat while raising our two rugrats.
Various debilitating diseases (diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure, common variable immune deficiency (CVID), severe asthma, and mental illness) have taken their toll on my body. Virtually leaving us a slightly better than a single-family income for the four of us. My wife works full time, and I worked full time until my arthritis damaged the joints in my hands, and it is tough to work more than part-time anymore.
A lot of our money goes to medical costs. And yet we cannot afford all the medications and test our doctors recommend. It's hard to work a traditional job without a support system to care for the kids when they are out sick from school (which has been a lot). We fall into the category of being too wealthy (Ha!) to qualify for government aid and yet too poor to live comfortably.
We had been working feverishly to rebuild our credit, pay down our debts and save to purchase this house when covid hit, pushing our plans out of the window.
Then more tragedy hit when my wife's mother's health declined to the point of needing constant assistance. We never blinked an eye for doing the right thing with our family values and opened our doors to her.
The South Florida real estate market, is brutal! Its rapidly rising cost of living is beginning to drown us. My Aunt and Uncle have been gracious enough to delay selling the house we have rented for the last few years. Today my aunt broke the news that it's time to sell the house. We are doing our best to raise them in a more stable home environment than what we had.
With the deadline of the house being sold closing in around us. We need donations, and this is where you come in to help us.
We are looking for any means of help. Pennies, nickels, dimes, whatever you can spare to help us purchase this home and fix it up to living standards. It needs a new roof, some new wall frames (due to termite damage), new drywall, lite electrical (see the pun), and minor plumbing issues.
Sharing our story with everyone you know, whether you can donate or not, is vital. The power of a movement can change the lives of our family for generations to come. We can afford to maintain the home (even with astronomical property taxes), but we have too many hurdles to overcome. Especially purchasing it in such a limited time span. I'd love to reach 500,000 people who donate $0.50 each to reach our goal. With billions of people globally, I need to get our dreams in front of the right 500,00 pair of eyes to donate pocket change.
We're willing to accept any help. Donations, loans, equity investment, work from home opportunities (I do virtual administrative assisting). Anything that can help us raise enough money to buy this house and turn it into our home. Providing a safe and stable home environment for our children. A safe environment I never knew as a child. Please, help! Share! Donate if you can. Be our advocates. Help our family.
