Help us secure a home of our own.
Donation protected
Hi! My name is Kathryn. I am the mother of three little boys, and we desperately need a home. Our current landlord is selling his property in the next month or so, which puts us in a rather tricky situation with finding a new place to live. I’ve exhausted all other options already in my frantic search for a rental. I’ve applied to every housing program available and have been put on waiting lists that are months long. We don’t have that kind of time. Because of recent events, I am limited to working only part-time, as I’m the only person caring for my boys when they aren’t in school and the only person able to get them to and from school. Most rentals are looking for much more income than I am currently making, working seasonally as a tax professional and part-time the rest of the year. They are requesting a minimum of 12 consecutive months of work history, which I also do not have. Before recently, I was a married stay-at-home mother. Navigating this new status as a single parent has been much more complicated than I anticipated. I’ve put my pride aside in making this request for donations because the security of my children is so much more important than, well…literally anything else. We remain hopeful that our community can band with us and help keep us from not having a home. I’m asking for donations toward a down payment on a home so this particular situation never has to happen to us again. There are foreclosures in the area that are as low as 10,000 for full ownership. Obtaining one of these homes would give us the security we so desperately need right now and the opportunity to save what I would otherwise be paying for rent to get us back on our feet. We thank you for taking the time to read this and for any donations you can provide.
