This is difficult for us to share, but we are trusting God and stepping out in faith. After years of trying to save up for a house of our own, we realized it just wasn't possible to do on my salary as a school bus driver.

Right now we are living with my parents in a 1 story 3 bedroom rancher. There's 9 of us living here now with only 1 bathroom.  All of our children are sharing one bedroom with bunk beds. Because of this, I have been sleeping on the floor, and my wife, Marcela, has been sleeping on the couch. Our best option is to continue to live with my parents but in order to have enough room for all of us we need to declutter our basement and renovate it.  

We need to turn our basement into safe, legal bedrooms so our children can have proper space to sleep, grow, and feel secure. This renovation requires code-compliant construction, including framing, electrical, plumbing, insulation, permits, inspections, and required egress windows for safety.

We are grateful for what we have, but the lack of space has made daily life overwhelming. We desire for our home to be a place of rest, peace, and stability for our children, not just a place where we make it through each day.

The total cost (over $100,000) is far beyond what we are able to manage on our own, and we are asking for help.

We believe God places people in our lives for seasons like this, and we are trusting Him to provide through the kindness, prayers, and generosity of others. Any amount given, any prayer lifted, or any share means more than we can express.

Thank you for standing with our family during this time. We are deeply grateful for your love, support, and prayers as we work toward creating a safe and stable home for our children.

With heartfelt thanks,

Tim & Marcela
