Hello all 👋 back again! We thankfully (from a few awesome few that helped buy stuff, offer lodging while in California, gas, donated money out of random kindness, and a meal or two also given) helped us to make the wild and insane trip to California 2,500 miles to try and see my Jolie and others which most of you know by now Jolie was a no go as were a couple other family members I was hopeful Keefer could see while here. People will def surprise you but also not.
Anyways, we currently do not have the funds necessary to go back the 2500 miles needed to go home back east to WV. We only have a couple limited lodging options remaining and we have $300 total to make the trek back.. which we were hoping to do this Monday or Tuesday. Any money could help for lodging, gas, meals, etc along the way back and any other bumps along the way (not including my 8 month bump). Thanks!
Here’s a few ways how you can help:
1.) donate please (we have many options below available in how you can if not monetarily)
2.) locals to Port Hueneme area can help out by helping us at my storage unit today 06/08/23 or tomorrow (06/09/23 when we go back to the storage again with my brother) where we will be most of the day sorting and organizing things to sell at a huge 100 plus home yard/garage sale in the Texas Tract community in Simi valley, CA this Saturday. We need all the things we can manage to get to try to sell to maximize funds all while wrangling a 19 month old and me being due next month. So if anyone has extra space in their vehicles to help deliver stuff over to simi or has man power to help lift big things please reach out. My brother is set to come help tomorrow cus he has stuff to do today.
3.) come to the garage/yard sale my friend is hosting in Simi Valley, CA. this Saturday, June, 10th and buy my stuff! Keefer will also be helping to sell refreshments like cold water bottles, sodas, lemonade to help fund our trip back. This is also an amazing event to attend just to see it. It’s become incredibly popular over the last few years and again 100 home’s participating! Stop by just to see us if you want before we attempt to leave Monday/Tuesday the latest.
4.) SHARE this! If you can’t do the above which is not expected at all anyways please just share! The more people who can share this the more help we can get in many ways! We wish we would’ve had more time to see more of you but this has been hectic, time consuming and expensive. Didn’t help we were trapped in our car 6 1/2 hours last Sunday in New Mexico because of a fatal collision involving a semi truck and automobile.
Just glad we are still alive and I was able to see my specialist while here so I have a much easier post partum recovery and don’t lose my mind like we almost did after having Keefer. This trip was important to happen for many reasons and the main ones were my mental and physical health remaining stable to help support my fiancé better (mentally and physically) as we raise our children together and I have a ton of physical issues and to try to see my daughter.
We thank you all again for the support and continued support in our families journey through life and in helping us achieve some of this already. Next time we are back will hopefully not be as stressful we were just on an extreme time crunch to make my doctor out here in time before our new baby gets here mid July. Family is everything to us and I still wish I knew who sent us that generous donation that said ‘family1st’ this is truly our motto and why we came here risking it all.
