Help the O’Briens Make Their Move to Kentucky
Sometimes a fresh start means taking a big leap. We're the O’Brien family, a family of seven, moving from California to Kentucky for a more stable future and an opportunity for steady employment.
Our oldest daughter, 19, lives in Fresno, while the other six of us are making the move.
We need to complete our move by November 15 at the latest, and we're working against a tight deadline.
Lou will be homeschooling our three older children while caring for our newborn daughter, Charlotte. This transition has also come alongside unexpected expenses surrounding Charlotte's arrival.
Our fundraising goal is $8,500, with the aim of having approximately $8,000 available after processing costs and our voluntary contribution to GiveSendGo.
Here's where the money will go:
- Truck and transportation: Approximately $6,000, including rental, insurance, and a trailer for our family van.
- Fuel, food, and lodging: Costs for the cross-country journey.
- Housing transition: Approximately $1,300 to cover rent until employment begins.
- Other moving expenses: Remaining costs of getting settled in Kentucky.
Flights and travel expenses for Lou and our two daughters have already been paid for.
About the fees: GiveSendGo charges no platform fee. The payment processor deducts 2.7% plus $0.30 per US donation. We've also chosen to contribute 2% of funds raised to GiveSendGo to support its work.
Every contribution helps. If donating isn't possible, sharing our fundraiser or keeping our family in your prayers is just as awesome and deeply appreciated.
Thank you for helping us get this next chapter started. We genuinely appreciate every bit of support!
