I personally been struggling with housing since i was 18 and over 4 years with my daughter bouncing from shelter and programs and with family. Im trying to make an end of it but finding apartments or houses during this time is extremely difficult. I would love to have a place that I know I will be stable at to be able to do college to have a career and a good paying job to support me and my daughter and raise her in a home that we can call ours for once. I have been on the housing list for a little over a year and still waiting, but it still doesnt hurt to have a back up plan. We are using HomeFundIt to make it easy for friends and family to contribute to our down payment. Click “Contribute Now” on this page to give online with a debit or credit card. As an added bonus, we will get $2 for every $1 raised, through a lender matching grant on a portion of your donations. There is also an online shopping feature called “UpIt” where a percentage is pledged back to our down payment. So when you shop, make sure you stop by our campaign page first and visit the UpIt Store link under the “Contribute Now” button. We hope you’ll be a part of our home buying journey, and we’d be forever grateful for any contributions or shares!
