After almost two years of living in small motels, we will soon be living n our own new home!
It’s a small apartment on the Jersey Shore! We will be in a tourist driven summer vacation area so the winters will be quiet and the summers will be wild. We are so close to the beach that one rental insurance company turned us down!
But thankfully I did find a broker that could underwrite us.
But after 18months of not having a home, we also don’t have any furniture!
We aren’t asking for much, and anything will help. Our goal is to be able to use marketplace and the restore and various agencies to be able to furnish two small bedrooms and a living room. We need beds, dressers, seating, etch and maybe a few small kitchen niceties to make cooking in our kitchen easier.
I can’t wait till I’m able to make Christmas Cookies with the NinjaPotato again or possibly making a whole Thanksgiving dinner again!
N-E-Ways, I’ve created a GoFundMe if people want to help us: https://gofund.me/2468a5e3
And for those of you that can’t help, please keep putting those good vibes out into the universe for us because it really feels like it’s working!
Thank you!
-Kirstyn, Aimee, and the NinjaPotato

You might want to look on Craig's list. You can sometimes find stuff in quite usable condition;

Happiness is being all dressed up and HAVING some place to go.

So happy for you
Hi there. I've hung out here for a long, long time but rarely posted, and we've never spoken before, but I'm feeling a ton of joy for you.
Two years ago, I had my first ever panic attack when my sister called to tell me she and her husband were homeless. I knew they were on the edge but not how close. They endured 7 months of periodic cheap motels mixed with a lot of couch-surfing with friends (they had a car then, thankfully) before we got them housing through government assistance (we're in Canada). It was scary to me, 300 km away; I can hardly imagine how scary it is for you who have experienced it.
But to do it with kids... !! I've never met you but I know you are a master of resilience, ingenuity, and straight-up balls-out chutzpa.
Congratulations on your new home! I hope you keep the gofundme up for a while. I can't help right now, but I also can't help wanting to help in some way. In one or two months, I'll be able to send some support.
Good luck out there! You freakin' made it. Cheers to you!
