Hello all,
My name is Chris, and my better half is Ry. We have a beautiful family with three children, Bodhi, Brigham and Elliott. Bodhi and Brigham are with us part time and Elliott is with us full time.
We as a family are, for all intensive purposes, homeless. We have lost next to everything except for each other. My brother and sister-in-law have been overly gracious and offered their RV for us to stay in until we can get back up on our feet. Because no one will rent to us and trying not to overstay, we have been trying to save up for a decent used RV so we can get out of theirs. We cannot find a house or apartment to rent due to poor rental history. Saving is hard in this economy. In order to make ends meet, I drive roughly 100 miles to, and 100 miles from work everyday. With this home, we will be able to home school as we intend with our daughter and be able to live comfortably.
With any and all of the funds we are able to raise, we will purchase a used RV and retrofit it with renewable energy sources. Being a mechanic and automotive repair shop manager, I have the know how to repair and replace most of what it will/might need. Reliability is a first with this family.
My family and I are in dire straights at this point. I ask because my pride has worn through and I am tired of seeing my family struggle. With donations we can get this vision off the ground and start surviving. We will be updating this story with progress and joy will hope to endure.
We are all human in this family, and we want to enjoy our human experience, with a little help from you. Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and I know that with hard work and persistence, our dream to have this family home will come in due time.
