Hope in saving my home 

Hello my name is Courtney Colyer. I am 23 years old I am from Felicity Ohio located on the outskirts of Cincinnati Ohio. In 2006 my Nana my Papaw and my two sisters Kaylee Katie and I moved from Felicity to Fairborn Ohio when my great-grandmother passed away. Bernardine Maguire is her name when she passed she left her home and all of her things to my Nana her daughter. So this is why we came to hear to Fairborn. I lived here with my Nana and Papaw for several years until my Nana got very sick my Mom got her addictions and her life stable enough to regain custody of my sisters and I and we moved back to Cincinnati with her. A year after my mother got custody of us the mother that always has been in my life my Nana passed away I lives in Cincinnati with my mom until I graduated high school and got my diploma I did this at 17 in 2015. The day after I graduated I came back up to Fairborn to live with my papaw he had been up here all alone after my nana died and I wanted to be with him and this house is the place that felt more like home to me than anywhere I live with my mom. So it's been me and Papaw ever since 2015. Suddenly last year in July my life changed forever I found my Papaw dead in our home the same home my great-grandmother died in my nana died in and now my papaw this home is more than a home to me it's sacred and I am so scared to lose it I don't know where I would go I will be homeless. My great-grandmother bought this house and it was passed on from my nana and then to my papaw but my papaw owed back taxes on the home so he could not leave it to anyone in a will if the taxes are not paid then they will come in and sell everything and the house to pay what is owed. I'm going to have to come up with 20,000 to pay the house off. The rest of my family doesn't believe they or I can come up with the money and they have accepted and I'm pretty sure want the house to be sold, because they believe after it is sold they will get some money from it.  It kind of makes me sick no amount of money could ever replace what this home means to me all the memories I have here all the things that are here that were my great-grandparents, grandparents just my family's that means so much to me and that I want to pass down and tell the stories of the things that my papaw shared with me I found my papaw dead here so it was very traumatizing and something that has changed who I am forever and I will forever be coping with and having my home paid off and not having to worry about weather I will be kicked out and everything sold would be such a weight off my shoulders and an answer to so many of my prayers. That's all I pray for these days if if anyone can donate anything at all it will forever be greatly appreciated I'm not the type to usually ask for help actually I will go without before I ask but I am swallowing my pride in hope that my prayers will be answered if you do decide to donate I will keep posting updates of the work I'm doing on the house and of the legal matters regarding the house and I have plenty of family photos to share to help you get to know my family and the home that I want so desperately to save thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart for anyone that helps me and for anyone that took the time to read this thank you too God bless you all!
