All But Homeless

Getting there BUT Needs still EXIST ! Won’t you help us reach our goal?

$5, $10, $20, $25 …… Anything and Everything ADDS up!!!

Back in April, we were having trouble just getting by in the day-to-day meaning we were going without the most basic necessities, like food, and TP. ( plz read… ) Can you even imagine? I couldn’t until it happened to me. And it was out of that desperation that this blog was born. It was by far, the hardest thing I have ever done in life.

Slowly, thanks to the kind support of total strangers, things began to turn around for us.

It was only then that I could actually determine a realistic fundraising goal of $3000.00.

PLEASE NOTE : We were ( ARE ) NEEDY, not GREEDY! And the goal was NEVER meant to put on easy street and won’t BUT it will give us…

Resorting to Cuteness! :)

Hey C – You’re brilliant and very cute yourself. But Stanley’s contribution couldn’t hurt. This made me smile this morning. xox

Meet ‘Stanley’… 🙂He has come onboard to help with our fundraiser. He works really cheap… He works for peanuts.

Seriously though … We are still trying to reach the same goal of $3000.00, we have raised $ 1,765.00 in just over three months which has helped tremendously but I’ll let you do the math. This hasn’t been a GET RICH quick scheme. THE NEEDS are genuine!

The crisis IS over, BUT there are STILL many needs that we need help with.

A portion of July’s mortgage payment remains unpaid. And we really want to work on getting our house in order again. One is a major plumbing issue!

We have a little squirrelled away for these projects, but as time passes, and life happens it gets harder to hold on to.

Won’t you please help us continue the momentum that is going here?

Donations LARGE and SMALL are…

This post is dedicated to All But Homeless, stats and stuff…

When I first created this blog on April 17, 2013, we were beyond desperate. In fact we were so desperate, we had NOTHING and we’re having trouble just getting by in the day-to-day. Our cupboards were bare, and toilet paper ( and other unmentionables ) had become a luxury we just couldn’t afford. Not to mention the bills. We were two months into the eviction process of the thrift store ( sales were almost non-existence, and I had lost my caregiving job the month before because of my clients dementia, and her ultimately being put in a nursing home ( her primary caregiver lost her job a month or so later when it was determined she wasn’t coming home EVER again) But it took about three weeks to hit rock bottom again. It had been nearly a month since…

We are almost half-way there. Check out our GOFUNDME widget here ( link will open in a new browsing window)

That being said, we are still facing some very real challenges in the days and weeks ahead.

One of our biggest concerns today, is getting the balance of July’s mortgage payment paid by the 16th.

That is : $356.87

This is easiest paid through Pay Pal however if anyone is willing and able to pay this, it can also be paid directly to our mortgage holder as well and I will gladly provide specifics . It makes no difference to us as this need is genuine and a high priority.

You may also want to visit our UPDATED NEEDS page to see what else we need help with.

Our goals was $3000.00. We have raised $1,445.00 to date.

We’ve come such a long way in a relatively short period of…

Real Friends

Yesterday, TODAY and Hopes for Tomorrow!

The list gets smaller. Your contributions are making a difference. This is awesome!

All But Homeless

Today, instead of focusing on what the needs ARE, I want to focus on what the needs WERE .

Back in April, I posted the first item on this checklist . TMI? I am sorry! But this was the REALITY.

The one thing I failed to mention early on, WAS that the last month before I went public with this, I was actually IMPRISONED in my own home for almost a month. Not because I wanted to live like a hermit, but because I could not face the world in the state I was in. NOBODY should have to live like that. I felt like a caged animal.

I am reclusive to a point in my nature anyway, but ad a bit of misfortune to this AND I was toast.

Things were so bad at that point, I couldn’t even think about goals, or the possibility of actually making any…
