I'll start by saying asking for help kills my pride, but at this point I have no choice. Back story, my husband and I bought our home 20 years ago, , we always do work and up keep on our home, but as the years passed and our health, things has got quite expensive to do. In 2011 we got custody of our granddaughter, who was 1 at the time, she will be 11 in a few days. so we have been raising her also, 3 years ago we got custody of our grandson, he was 7 1/2 month, he’s not 4. Back in July My father-in-law passed away, a week later my husband had a heart attack, which lead to Open heart surgery to replace 5 arteries, as for my health, being diabetic and having fibromyalgia stinks, constant pain all the time. But back in the summer before his heart attack my husband noticed our roof on our home. It's in bad shape, our heating system is broke so we use a wood burner & kerosene heater for heat. That stuff alone if very expensive, So I thought maybe we could save our money and Move down south where the weather is warm and we both can breathe better and we might not hurt as bad, right? I think it would be cheaper to move then try to fix everything that's broken. We just need help so I made a GoFundMe, that puts a down payment on a place to live. Maybe we can be happy and not suffer anymore. Thanks for listening to me.
It's tough raising 2 grandkids when there are multiple health issues, along with the house needing so much in order to sell it
Tough stuff! Sorry to hear about the custody stuff but I’m thankful you are doing that for your grandkids. No more to the story needed if you got them, that’s the best thing for them. The cold weather is definitely challenging! We are looking to move as well for various reasons.
