Thank you for taking a moment to consider our fundraiser. My name is Gabriel and I am a devoted, Orthodox Christian husband and father of 3 (so far). I am also a disabled Veteran, working as a custodian at a VA Hospital in Fargo.
For the past year my family and I have been homeless and staying with relatives as we rebuild our lives. After regaining some health, and working hard at my job for the VA, a home has become available to us that is a wonderful fit with our budget and needs. We are fully approved and can move in very soon! The only thing we need to move into this new home is to pay off an (unfair) eviction. A little over a year ago, we were living in an apartment building that had become infested with cockroaches, creating an unhealthy situation for my (at that time) pregnant wife and 2 small children. We refused to pay rent until they exterminated, and were evicted instead.
If we can raise $3200 then my wife, our 4 year old daughter Zoe, 2 ½ year old son Vincent, 10 month old Sophia, and I can move into our own home, an important next step in our journey to wholeness as a family.
This is something we need to pay off quickly, so time is of the essence. If you can consider helping us, we will be eternally grateful. If you are unable to give financially, please give us your prayers.
God bless you.
