Beloved of All
My husband was laid off in 2012 after his company moved us 2000 miles from home. We managed to get back home thanks to our faith and the last $100.00 we had in the bank. We have been struggling to get back on our feet ever since. Our credit took a beating and we were not able to buy a home. We found a rental that we cared for as if it were our own. We painted, paid for minor repairs etc.. but we had a home and the first feeling of stability in a long while with my husband and I both working full time and our children settled in school. After being in the house just over a year the owner sold the home without a warning. Due to financial reasons on his part. We understood this was a business deal and sympathized with him and his situation. However, we had three days to move our family out. My husband and I have 4 children and no place to go. Due to our previous owners situation we did not get our deposit back- without the deposit we did not have a way to pay for another deposit on another home. So we moved into a hotel this past July. We need a stable home and safe community for our family. It is breaking our hearts to see our children have to live this way. I am a teacher and am blessed to be able to bring my children to school with me. I have prayed to Saint Anne that we find the stable home environment that our children so desperately need. We found a home for sale by owner and they discussed letting us lease for 3 years and then buy it. We were so excited, as the home was a perfect fit for our family. However they decided that it would be better for them to sell the house. We understand and appreciate their needs as well. Please pray for our family, for our children. Holidays in the hotel was rough, but our kids are amazing. Asking for nothing. Our youngest however asked Santa for a home and his own toys. As all of our belongings are in storage. We don't want to live our life as if it were a dollar amount. We simply want to live happy, healthy and humbly without means. I want a home my children can feel comfortable in, play in, bake cookies in, laugh in and make memories in. Thank you for taking the time to pray for our family. Many blessings!
