I feel very fortunate to have met Josh, Robyn, and little Cece about eight months ago. They had just moved in with my neighbors and were renting a room from them. We instantly connected and became friends despite the fact that Josh is half my age! I joke with him that he's my adopted little brother.
I'm very proud of Josh because in the eight months that he's been living at my neighbor's house, he has secured a full-time job at Uncle Eds as an Oil Change Technician, he walks to and from work every single shift without complaining (unless either a co-worker or I offer to drive him), and he just got a raise! But he's not just a hard worker in the "work" environment. Josh also helps me out around my house whenever he has the spare time, but most importantly he has taken over the role of being Ceccelia's daddy since her father isn't in the picture. And he does an amazing job at it! He's dedicated and loyal to the people that he loves.
I constantly tell Robyn what an awesome mama she is. She is raising Cece with the best morals and values! The exact same that she has. She is extremely caring, honest, and the type of person that would give the shirt on her own back to someone less fortunate if she had to. She is also beyond brave for overcoming her past and I am so proud of her! I just love this woman! I really look up to her in many ways.
Cece is the sweetest little girl that you would ever meet. Anyone that does get the chance to meet her just falls in love with her! She has a bubbly personality that makes your cheek muscles hurt from smiling!
For reasons that I don't understand, earlier this week my neighbors gave Josh and Robyn until January 1st to move out. They do not have family nearby that they can both move in with, and even though Josh has a full-time job, they do not have the funds saved up to be able to put a down payment on an apartment or any other type of housing with such short notice. We have contacted every single resource in the area requesting help however there just aren't the funds available.
On the bright side, a very dear friend of mine has an older truck for sale that she is willing to not only drastically lower the price of, but allow Josh to make payments on even after she signs it over to him. This would at least allow him to be able to get to and from work from wherever they end up living.
Josh and Robyn are both optimistic about life and have lots of plans for their futures. They have both overcome some major obstacles and yet they remain positive. Please consider helping these two out by donating money that will go towards the purchase of the truck and to secure immediate housing! If you are unable to donate, sharing the post is just as considerate!
Thank you so much!!
