Thanks again for all the NEW, RECENT DONATIONS EVERYONE. As far as what it's going for, JERRY / LASERSBEE had it correct. We are currently waiting for a response from the agent handling our case with the Housing Authority. So we're kinda twisting in the wind (no pun about tornadoes intended) ourselves, but rest assured that as SOON as I KNOW something for sure, that Info. WILL BE POSTED in THIS THREAD, so all will know just where & how their wonderful, unselfish donations are being used. Our hearts ACHE for the recent victims of the vicious tornadoes that have hit not too far from where we live. If MY financial situation was not as it is, I'd be sending a donation myself to the survivors funds. Those poor souls, to lose their homes & LOVED ONES ALSO & all I can do is feel sorry for them. At least I still have my home for awhile yet & haven't lost any loved ones from my family. When something like that happens, it makes one's own problems seem less serious by far !!!
The total amount of DONATIONS received is nearing the $900.00 mark with the target goal being $1,100.00 & change. From what the HOUSING AGENT told us, that amount just might be enough to satisfy the mortgage holder to our home, at which point, the agent is going to try to work out either a MORATORIUM (where we wouldn't have to make ANY payments for ~6 months (but have to make the mortgage 6 months longer), or to lower our house payments altogether, so that with the GOVT. subsidy, the payments would drop to ~$350.00 / month plus a bit extra to make up what we would still be behind AFTER paying the $1,100.00 + change, (so ~$400.00 / month), or POSSIBLY BOTH scenarios!!! Since my disability check is ~$1,116.00/ month, we'd FINALLY be able to lead a decent life without bill collectors calling all the time. If the agent can't arrange either of those, then we will lose our home & use all your WONDERFUL DONATIONS to move into an Apt. with. My family & I owe all of you who have made donations an AWFUL lot, & we'll NEVER, EVER forget your generosity.
I hope I've answered most of the questions that you all may have had. If not, by all means, just ask me in a post in this thread. I'll do my VERY BEST to answer any questions you have or try to find out. We hate just dangling like this, but it's all part of the bureaucratic red-tape we must go through. We wouldn't have had a chance in HADES to save our home at all if it wasn't for all you wonderful donors. Thank You seems hardly adequate enough words to show you how we feel about your help. All we can do is hope that you realize how much help you've all been to us. I'll post again as soon as I find out something. HOPEFULLY it'll be GOOD NEWS. Either way, we wouldn't have stood a chance without you all. WE OWE YOU EVERYTHING !!! OUR DEEPEST THANKS !!!!
rob & family...............
PS, Please forgive me for not thanking each & every one of you who have donated PERSONALLY, but my time is kinda being occupied with other things right now, (we're starting to pack up some things in boxes IF we have to move. My deepest apologies !! I hope you can understand.............
