It Takes a Village

This campaign is for a mother who always puts others first, especially her twin daughters.  She does not ask for help nor does she expect it.  You may have heard the proverb, “it takes a village”.  This mother is an active member of others’ villages, yet she typically does not call on her own village in times of need.  

Many members of this family’s village have asked how they can help.  Knowing that she is someone who helps others before herself, a few of us decided to start this campaign.

Her wonderful husband passed away from cancer, leaving her a single mother.  Raising two daughters with autism on her own, the amount of time she is available to work is limited.  She works hard while her girls are at school, which allows her to provide the girls with everything they need, but it is not enough to get out from under the mortgage payments.

This family is at risk of losing their house, adding one more huge battle to the mother’s list.  We hope to raise enough money to make a large dent, if not more, in her mortgage.  With the girls approaching their teen years, many difficult changes lie ahead and we hope that trying to find a new home does not become one of those changes.

These two girls are smart, kind, funny, and lovable.  They have learned about their town, are familiar with specific places and people, and are a part of a wonderful program in the public school.  If they lose their house, all of this could change.  Please donate anything you can to help this family remain in their home and for the girls to continue to succeed within their most familiar environment, their village.
