The Haven House
Donation protected
Hi! Most of you know me as Wisteria:-) Over the years I’ve really grown to love the name and the Community I have through the special people I cross paths with on IG. Through the decision to make my Photo Journal Public I’ve been able to connect with people in a more meaningful way during really hard times and through moments that were really special that I wouldn’t otherwise have shared with anyone. When I used to foster that was the hardest part… having something so special in my life and not being allowed to share with family and friends.
My idea for the Haven House came as a solution to a pressing need I myself personally experienced, although at the time it was due to the Pandemic, I did not have a safe place I felt I could go to with my son in order to leave an escalating abusive environment during my divorce. I want to be a safe place for women who are struggling to find solutions when they need a safe place to go and don’t know how to get out or move forward. Having a place of my own will allow me to open my home again to those in need. I don’t know if I’ll foster again but right now I’m not allowed to with where I live. I gave up my home in order to get out and while i felt I had to at the time, it’s keeping me from being able to fund my own home now.
When I have a place I can put lots of love into to make it a home to share, I’ll be able to help those in need again instead of constantly brainstorming trying to figure out how I can help. Every little step I’ve taking is one step closer to figuring out how:-) Finding the home I can fix up has been a struggle!! Today I found the home so I’m reaching out for help before I loose my nerve! I don’t like asking for help. I love the feeling of accomplishment I get from figuring things out on my own but desperate times call for desperate measures. Any little help you can share even if it’s a solution I haven’t thought of it sooooo very much appreciated from the bottom of the most thankful part of my heart.
Sending Love and a couple of my crazy jumping up and down until there’s laughter hugs and good vibes and prayers and at least one loud obnoxious cheek smootch (especially since I didn’t give my son one when he was home). Thank you!!!
With Love,
