Urgent Help Needed, Save Families Storage Unit from Auction

Donation protected
On October 15th, should we fail to pay the $540 fee, my family's storage unit will be going up for auction.
As GoFundMe takes 2.9% of every donation as a transaction fee, I have the goal set at $750 to allow for that percentage to be taken.

Hello, my name is Niklaus and I am starting this GoFundMe in order to help raise the money needed to save everything in my mother's storage unit:
generational belongings (timeless family possessions that include many pieces of art made by deceased family members), important gifts from family/friends, holiday decorations, clothing, books, toys/memorabilia growing up.

The wonderful people, and incredible mothers, whose unit this is, are Amy and Emily.
The two of them always provide for their community, no questions asked, and now I want to be able to do the same for them. Their work with the GSA club/community in Minnetonka has helped so many people find safe spaces and friends to depend on. They created a found family that has each other's backs no matter what.
They are always providing food, transportation, and safety for many queer kids who do not feel safe in their own homes.
These two have 5 children, of which I am one, who have learned so much from their parents about how to be good, kind people. Amy and Emily are experiencing job insecurity right now, with only one of them able to take home a paycheck. They cannot afford to take care of their family/home and pay this bill at the same time. I am hoping this GoFundMe can help them overcome these troubles.

If you are unable to help financially, I ask that you share this fundraiser with your friends and family and remember the strength of your community. With much gratitude, thank you.

(any funds raised that do not go towards saving the unit will go directly towards provisions for their family in their time of need)
