"You've got what it takes, but it will take everything you've got."

My family has had a rough year. My little brother, my little sister, and I rely on our single dad as the only income, and since he works in construction, he hasn’t had good work in a while. He does everything he can for us, and I even stopped going to school so that I could stay home and help out how I can. I’m the mother figure; our mom wasn’t really in the picture, but we loved her. She passed away on November 28^th, 2011 from liver cancer and complications.

We’ve been dealing with that, problems in school, paying bills, and making ends meet however we can. Unfortunately, now we have another problem. We live in a beautiful farmhouse that my dad built when he was younger, but it belongs to another family member. Since we haven’t been able to pay the taxes or rent for the last six months, he sent us an eviction notice.

I’m not going to make my younger siblings move out of their home, neighborhood, and school district. So, we either need to come up with $2,500 that we owe (and continue to pay the $450 a month) by the end of the week or we’ll have to leave. I’ve seen the tumblr community do some amazing things, and all I ask is whatever you can spare. Every dollar is greatly appreciated, and if you can’t give, you can still help me signal boost. If you are able to donate, no matter how much, you can do so RIGHT HERE through Paypal. Thank you so much for reading and helping in anyway you can!
