As it stands now
We've just started our fundraising efforts, and need your help to spread the word, whether it be spreading the posts here on Facebook and Twitter, or through word of mouth. Every little bit helps!Why we're doing this
We've set up the GoFundMe because, honestly, we need the help getting money to renovate our 1870's Folk Victorian home. Lauren and I both work, Bruce is retired with a pension and SS but with bills, taxes, health issues and the mortgages, our money's going everywhere but to the upkeep of the poor thing. We've lived here for the last 9 years this coming July, and it's been getting much worse. We had to have the Norway Spruce that was less than three feet from the bathroom taken down two years ago this coming August. It was about 150+ feet tall and slowly dying, and had roots growing under the bathroom. When the tree was cut down and the roots were taken out, (can't think of the proper term), the men doing the work commented on how the roots were growing under the house. There are still roots everywhere from this tree. Have no idea why no one took it down LONG before this.
Not the best photo, but that's the tree. Sucker was easily three times the height of the house, and had the root system to match. |
More in the next post, promise.
