Dabney Rigby hasn't added a story.
Hello everyone!
Most of you know me, Dabney, and my wonderful kiddos, Toby and Aislin (and of course Scout, our ever faithful and loving pooch). Most of you know that it has been nearly 5 years since we set out on our own, and have been struggling to get our feet under us enough to afford a place. We have mostly stayed with my parents and once or twice with friends.
Well, the day has finally come. I signed a lease on a place that will give us all plenty of room, a big awesome yard, and cool neighbors with kids Toby and Aislins age. I can't even begin to tell you what it means to me. What it will mean for them. It feels like life is sarting over for us in some ways and we can finally start putting some of these troubles behind us.
Here's where you come in: Because of so much moving around and downsizing over the years, we don't have much of anything in the way of furniture. No beds, no couch, no chairs or tables, no washer or dryer, etc... I am 100% down for thrift store finds. They bring me great joy. It all still adds up though, and there are a few things that would be ideal to have new, which I plan to buy at Costco because, savings!! A couch for instance. I can't imagine our brand new place, our FIRST place together, without a big, comfy, couch to snuggle up on and watch movies at night... The other new items we need are beds. I have one for Aislin, but not myself. Toby has an antique bedframe in storage that he is thrilled to finally be able to use again, but no mattress and no box spring... Everything else I am happy to buy used. A table and chairs, washer and dryer, dressers, dishes, etc...
This is a whole new life for us. I can't even wrap my brain yet around it all, I am just so overwhelmed with relief and joy that I can finally provide these 2 amazing kids I am blessed with rooms of their own, lots of space to run around in, trees to climb, comfort and security, not to mention getting to enjoy all of that myself after all these years.
We need your help though. Moving expenses, utilities, deposits, rent, etc have got me tapped. If you have just a little bit to spare to go towards our fund, it will help make our new house a home in no time at all, and we can finally start to head onward and upward with security and confidence.
If you don't have any money to spare, please consider sharing and boosting our fundraiser, or perhaps donating a gently used item that you no longer need that might help us meet our goal.
We are grateful and simple. We don't need much, and we deeply appreciate any help or encouragement you can share. Thank you in advance from the bottom of our hearts!!! <3 <3 <3

I have been reading Tarot and Oracle cards professionally, for self empowerment and spiritual guidance since 2003. Readings with me are affirming and inspiring and often come with extra goodies in the end like essential oils and/or flower essences hand selected for you!
