Verified by Lighthouse.
I'm fundraising for Housing for my family, so I can have a place to live for my family and myself and it costs about $2000.
I am a recovering heart patient living with an aneurysm near my heart. I have not been able to work full time in 2 years. My husband has been self employed, however have been able to maintain his business for over a year unfortunately.
We have not had our own home for our 2 children in over a year. We lived at the Red Roof Inn for 10 months prior to the Lighthouse moving us to the Rodeway Inn April 1, 2020.
Prior to my heart surgery February 7, 2017 I was a full time teacher. My how's issues since my surgery prohibited me from being able to work full time being in and out of the hospital. I started been teaching part-time until the stress level became too much because of my high blood pressure and other health issues unfortunately. While my husband has been seeking full-time employment with me not working the bills piled up can we were unable to successfully take care of our two children before we got evicted January 2019. We just want to stay warm place to raise our children wow we constantly work on getting our finances together. Our son and daughter go to good schools and they get good grades despite our struggles we are doing a very best to make sure our children are safe and sound and happy.
My goals moving forward is to have a safe and prosperous home as soon as possible for my family and I. I also would love to go back to teching part time as long as my health permits. Teaching is truly my passion. I also obtained my Master's Degree in 2007 because I want to someday teach on the collegiate level as well. My husband and I want to be able to raise our two children happily and successfully.
What makes me happy is being able to be self-sufficient take care of my two beautiful children and have a successful happy household. I was very proud when I obtain both my degrees I was also very proud and happy when I was blessed with my son and daughter all I want us to do is live a happy, healthy, and peaceful life
