New Home For The Curbside Junkies
Donation protected
We are a family that started a you tube channel about 5 months ago where we go out and salvage discarded items to either recycle, donate, or resell. We Also share quite a lot of our personal endeavors as well. Some of our viewers have asked that we created an outlet so that they could help us reach our goal through donations.
This is our story...
Staci and I have been together for around eight years. We moved in together when we were very young and the only housing we could afford was slum dumps. The first place we lived in for so many years was awful it had so many holes in the floor we would have to lay down plywood to keep from going through the floor . We could never get our landlord to fix anything! We lived there for around 7 years.
We finally decided to improve our situation and we found a new place. It was in rough shape, but fixable. We made a deal with the owner that we would come in and fix the place up. We patched drywall, fixed plumbing, painted and even put in carpet! We made rapiers and moved in , and started paying rent as soon as repairs were finished.
Our agreement was we did all the work to make it livable and we would get discounted rent for one year to compensate us. After the year was up, if, we had fully been reimburse through discounted rent, then the rent would go up. We both agreed.
A year later he comes to us and says he wants us out. He never asked if we had been compensated fully never mentioned the rent going up, he just said leave. To me, his intentions are clear, he wants us gone so he can raise the rent to double or triple what we agreed to. He wants to reap the benefits our hard work.
We are tired of dealing with these type of people and we are determined to make our dream of being our own landlords come true. We found a fixer upper type home that needs quite a bit of work but it is doable. We have already remodeled a home for someone else, we are okay with doing it for ourselves!
What will your money be used for...
If you make a donation it will be used to help us accomplish our dream of never dealing with a slum lord again. Or living in less than decent conditions. We are currently putting money together to buy by the property in the video. As soon as we can do that we start on the work of the house while we live in our camper next to the house. If you decide to donate to us please know it will not stop with us, we are pay it forward type of people and do all that we can to help other people out. You may follow along with our journey through our youtube channel as well. Thanks for taking the time to read this if you did!!
