My Mama's Love foundation is devoted to helping those in need, I feel we're all connected and have a moral and spiritual obligation to help out where we can. Times are hard and I am seeing more people in need than I have ever witnessed before. It breaks my heart. I feel compelled to help in whatever capacity I can.
Our foundation's first project will take a community effort; you are the community I am reaching out to. I hope you will feel compelled to help in whatever capacity you can. Anything helps.
This first project is one that comes with a sense of urgency, it's for a family with dire housing needs. A little history on the family: a hard working mom, a hard working dad. Both laid off around the same time but working odd jobs as often as they can. They are doing anything and everything to make ends meet. This family is living in a collapsing mobile home, one that was only supposed to last them long enough to build their dream home, something the husband can do himself, as he's skilled. Last winter, just before the house was complete, the entire home collapsed due to the heavy snow fall in Eastern Washington. They were completely devastated, and still pay on the loan they took out for supplies to build the home. They had no insurance.
Now the family, still living in the trailer that is falling apart, is fearing where they will live when it collapses this winter, something that will happen with certainty (you'll see why when you look at the pictures). This family is not lazy, they are incredibly unfortunate and have come upon hard times, really hard times.
The husband is capable of building a log cabin that will house them nicely. They are able to pull wood from the property, but need money for all the other expenses. They already have electricity and sewer from their home that fell down. They are confident that they can build a home for $ 5000.00. It's a lot of money, but it's nothing when you consider what it is providing...a warm, safe shelter for a family of 6.
Winter comes early in Eastern Washington, hence the dire urgency. If you can offer any help, it would not go unappreciated. My Mama's Love foundation hopes to raise $5000.00 to deliver this family a happy ending soon.
