In need of a stable home
Keeping Our Pack Together: A Safe, Permanent Home for a Family of 6 and Our 5 Devoted Dogs
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read our story.
We are a close-knit family of six—three generations living under one roof—and five incredibly loyal, loving dogs. For years, we have worked hard to support one another through life's ups and downs. Now, we are facing our biggest hurdle yet: finding a permanent, stable home where our children can finish their education, our grandmother can live comfortably, and our beloved pack can stay by our side.
Because of the size of our family and our five dogs, finding a rental that accepts us all has become an impossible barrier. Landlord restrictions and the constant anxiety of housing insecurity are taking a heavy toll on our family. Our goal is to buy a modest, stable home of our own—a place where we can finally put down permanent roots and never have to worry about being forced to separate or move again.
Meet Our Beautiful Pack
Our dogs aren't just pets; they are our anchors, our protectors, and a massive part of our hearts. Giving them up is simply not an option. Meet the fur family we are fighting to protect:
- Charlie: The miracle of our pack. Charlie survived a brutal battle with parvo and has become my wife’s absolute spirit dog. Their bond is unbreakable.
- Sam: Our handsome, fixed male Malamute—a gentle giant who brings so much joy to our home.
- Loki: A spirited male Feist who keeps us all smiling with his personality.
- Babygirl: Our sweet girl dog who showers the entire family with affection.
- Moki: Our grateful rescue who found safety with us, and now we want to give him a forever home.
Meet Our Family
- The Heart of the Home: Our resilient maternal grandmother lives with us. She is disabled, but her strength inspires us every day.
- The Hardworking Parents: Mom works tirelessly at a call center to provide steady income and health benefits for the family. Dad is currently in transition, actively seeking a new position to help get the family back on its feet.
- Our College Student (20): Our oldest daughter is a responsible college student working hard toward her higher education and a bright future.
- Our Young Caregiver (17): Our middle daughter is a high school senior who has already earned her Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license, balancing her studies while preparing for a career in healthcare.
- Our Sophomore (15): Our youngest son is a high school sophomore who just wants a stable place to focus on his classes and grow up safely.
Why We Need Your Help
The modern housing market makes it incredibly difficult for large families with multiple pets to secure affordable, stable housing. We aren't looking for anything extravagant—just a modest, permanent house with a secure yard for Sam, Charlie, Loki, Babygirl, and Moki to run safely, and an accessible space where our grandmother can move around comfortably.
Every dollar raised through this campaign will go directly toward a down payment and closing costs to purchase a home. Buying a home will secure our family’s future, ensuring our youngest children can finish high school in peace, our daughter can focus on college, and our grandmother has a permanent place to rest.
