Hello!
Welcome to our page, our names are Nikki and Sarah. We have been together now for a little over 4 years and are still madly in love. Nikki and I have loved each other since the day we met and truly believe in love at first sight, she is my soul mate. We currently live in the small town of Mitchell, South Dakota but are looking to relocate to the Oregon Coast, where I am originally from.
Over the last 4 years, while Nikki and I have been happy, and our love has only grown, we want to be more than fiances we want to be wed to each other. I want to be able to introduce Nikki as my Wife and this is something that we are unable to do in South Dakota. Gay marriage is not legal here. This is part of why we are wanting to move to Oregon. We would have made the move sooner, but life happens, and we have been unable to save enough money to do so, being as we are both on a limited income, and both of us are disabled, so much so that we cannot find a stable job.
Another reason that we are looking to move is because of family. Family is a very important part of our lives and my mother, Mickie, and the rest of my family lives in Oregon, and help care for my aging mother. It would mean the world to not only me to be able to do this but to her as well. I also want the chance for my mother to be able to know Nikki as I do and for as long as we have left with her and Nikki. Nikki has [Spell it out most people have no idea what Cf means], Cf. What this means for Nikki is that she has help breathing, and eventually, the machine will not be enough. If we are lucky, we have another 30-40 years with each other. For now, though, we are focusing on the positive. Uniting our lives and bringing family together share in our lives for as long as we can.
This is why we are asking for help. Any donation will be greatly appreciated and will go towards helping us achieve our goals of being closer to family and to become a family of our own. We are currently planning to use your generous donations to:
- Firstly, to secure housing in Oregon. With the ever-changing housing market, it is best to make sure that we have a home to go to and not just moving without a fully developed plan. Currently, there is a home that is close by to my mother in Lowell Oregon for sale that would be perfect for us, so we know that there are great homes available.
- Secondly, to help pay for parts of our wedding. Ideally, we would have the money for an amazing wedding at the Salishan Resort and Spa in Gleneden Beach Oregon, a girl can dream, can’t she. We would be using the money to help pay for the family to be there who would not be able to come and to truly celebrate the union between Nikki and me.
Our goal of raising enough money to not only move to Oregon but secure housing, as well as unite in matrimony, is why we have turned to you for help. This is something that we can not do without you and would be eternally grateful. Any donation is appreciated no matter the size.
With your help, we will be able to begin our lives united as one in a new home full of family, laughter, love, and hope.
We look forward to thanking you and being able to share our experience with you.
An experience only made possible by your generosity and compassion.
With love and hope,
Nikki and Sarah
