Urgent help needed to save our home

Time is running out and we need help to save our home.


Dear Friends, Family & Kind Strangers,

For the past 12 years, I've been fearlessly fighting metastatic breast cancer and it looks like I may be at the end of my battle. The cancer is spreading and the medicine stopped working. Throughout this long and difficult journey my goal has always been to maintain a healthy loving home for our family -- my husband Joe, our son Nick & all the pets we've loved through the years. Today, we're at risk of losing it all... Our beautiful home of 20 years.

As a self employed family, with me unable to contribute the last 5 years, my husband has been working so hard to keep us afloat amidst the financial strain that comes with our situation. Ongoing medical expenses, unexpected breakdowns and repairs, and the rising cost of basic necessities has taken a toll. Despite our best efforts, we are now facing the very real threat of losing our home to foreclosure.

Fear has officially set in and I can honestly say, it's scarier than cancer. My  hope is that this fundraiser will help prevent the worst from happening. The funds raised will be used to do the following:

Prevent Foreclosure: Cover past-due mortgage payments and legal expenses to keep our home.

Medical Expenses: Continue managing the costs associated with my ongoing cancer care. 

Basic Living Costs: Support our family's day-to-day necessities while my husband's income fluctuates due to his line of work & caring for me.

I've always been one to help others. My husband goes the extra mile for anyone who asks. Our son is a sweet young man with his own set of challenges, who's just starting out in life. As parents, we want to protect him from this nightmare.

So today, in our moment of need, I'm humbly asking for your help. Any donation, big or small, will bring us closer to staying in our home and provide a bit of much needed peace during this very challenging time. 

If you're in a position to help, please consider donating. If you're unable, please share this campaign with all of your networks, far and wide. Also see "other ways to help" below. Thank you! Your kindness, prayers and support mean the world to us.

Christine ~ xoxo

Update ~ Feb 9, 2025

February 9th, 2025

Thank you beautiful souls! It's been a week since we launched our fundraiser & we're overwhelmed with the response. I know we're not the only ones struggling out here in 2025, so your generous gifts are very much appreciated. I hope & pray we can turn this situation around & pay it forward someday soon. God bless you all.


A little update: In addition to the campaign, we've also received direct donations from loving friends. Now that our fridge is full & our pets are fed, we can get back to focusing on saving our home... and hopefully, my life. We've been researching more about alternative treatments and I'm ready to jump on board, but I want to be sure we can afford the full protocol before I commit. I'm playing with time here, but I feel like I have to save the house first. 


Also, Joe went on a second job interview with a local home builder last week. I'm praying it works out. A steady paycheck after decades of self-employment would be a refreshing change. Until then, he's still doing estimates & taking on new work through his company, Genardi Construction. 


Keep being amazing, beautiful friends! And please keep sharing! You're making a difference!! The more people that see this fundraiser, the closer we'll get to our miracle. 


Thank you again!

With love, 

Christine 

xoxo
