Please help out our dear friends Michael and Paula Kay. Michael and Paula met while working over seas and fell in love. When Michael was offered the job of a lifetime they moved back to the states in the midst of the pandemic. This is when things started to fall apart. With the promise of the new job starting they found their dream home down in Louisiana and started to fix it up with their own sweat and tears. Unfortunately Michael's employer was the victim of internal fraud and now they have had no funds coming in since last November. Everything is tied up at the bank waiting for them to get through all the red tape this fraud created. Michael has been applying for other jobs for months now and because of the pandemic Paula is still awaiting visa approval and is unable to work until that process is complete. They have lived as frugally as possible even to the point of eating only the eggs from the chickens they raise and cooking out on an open fire because they have no more gas to light their stove.  Not many people can afford to help with thousands of dollars. But many friends can help with a few dollars each that we hope will add up quickly. They are in danger of losing their forever home in a few weeks. Those who know these two personally know how much they care for each other and their friends. They are embarrassed to be asking for help at this time but desperate times....

Even in their darkest hour they keep inproving, they have each other and they choose positivity. They deserve so much more.

Michael and I are extremely thankful to those of you who have donated, or reached out privately to offer support.  Never in a million years did we ever see ourselves in this situation.  We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts, for your genuine concern, and amazing generosity, 🙏🏻😍

We are closer to our goal than we ever thought possible and its all because there are truly great people out there in the world.

Paula, Michael and I are truly blown away by the generosity and good thoughts already received in less than 24 hours. Let's keep the momentum up. Those who have already donated - please share this with your friends. If you haven't donated yet every dollar helps, but we also accept all prayers and hugs as well. Thank you so much for whatever you can give.
