So, an update on the situation...
11 years ago
Basically my mom saw what i had done for her, the indegogo, the journal, and all the people so generously giving to us. [Which, really does mean a whole lot to me, seriously!] She was just amazed at the donations we had gotten, and she is so grateful for the help. But, as she was reading my journal, she noticed that i hadn't actually told a lot of our problems, just focusing on what my brother and his fiance adds to the mess, and making it look like she just let them walk right in and 'take over', which she didn't. So, she wanted me to tell you guys about what else has happened this past year that had driven us into the ground.
A lot of not so good things have happened in the last year, namely my parents loosing their business [they worked as house inspectors, for banks. Going to houses to see what condition its in, who lives there, and so on.] the company they were working for was bought out, so they got laid off.
Late last year my dad fell, and broke his neck; This year he had to have neck surgery, got a couple of disks removed. Horrible medical bills.
My mom developed neurological [thank you spell-check!] problems, her entire left side has numbness and she cannot do certain things. This is why she is not working.
Add all that to my brother not paying rent like he is supposed to, and bringing his Canadian girl for a visit, that turned into forever, and it leaves us thousands in the hole
Literally. thousands. four thousand is how much we would need to pay off medical bills, property tax, insurance, hell we barely have enough for food! This is why we really need the money, and why i am so happy to have wonderful people donating.
I -know- we wont get that much money, but please, if you can just spread the word, tell anyone and everyone. any little bit we get, could be the difference between staying in this house, or packing up and moving [without my brother and his girl, of course.]
Thank you so much for reading this!
PS: I know two journals in one week on basically the same subject is a lot but this is an emergency.

he did pay $400 a month for quite time some before having anxiety and the inability to do so, he tried his hardest.
your brothers fiance opened up a business and has been saving YOUR family from losing the house that much sooner. the fiance has been working 6 months straight giving every penny she makes to your mom which is over a thousand AND COUNTING. She takes on all the prob dogs in the business, She also only has two pairs of pants, showers once a week, wears dirty clothes over and over again to avoid washing them. Shes also has taken on other jobs like grooming and as given that money too, to your mom. She also LISTENS to YOUR parents, she does the dishes, takes out the garbage and recycle and has cleaned out the back porch and laundry room without being asked. She clears out the back woods and helps out as much as she can. She even tried getting a second job but couldn't handle it, and if she could you damn well know it would all go straight to your mom. She also GAVE UP HER OWN WEDDING to help out...
Did she get a new pet? yes because at that time it wasnt transparent to how bad your family was actually doing and had made a prior commitment before shit hit the fan to having the pet. unfortunately the pet was to be driven much much closer to where your family lives but it didn't happen. did she get my hair done? Yes, because she waited and waited and saved up with her own money. Did your brother get a new console? no, he bought a used one and once again paying rent at that time and had the extra cash.
And lets also be clear on something, the fiance did cost THOUSANDS. she cost roughly 1600. your brother sold:
Camper :900
guitars : 200
xbox and games: 170
job: money
yes, your parents did help with paying upfront while your brother sold things and also helped pay some, they also helped a lot with the paper work too. but in no way did she cost THOUSANDS.
Lets talk about the youngest one in the house.
He forced his poor mother to do his school work, because of that she cant focus on more important things like bills or taking care of the house. He literally makes her sit all day doing his work making her physically ache in pain because as a capable young man, he strives to do the least amount of work everyone his age is capable of. The boy only has 4 courses to do and yet he strains her emotional fragile mother by watching youtube and talking to friends rather than doing his school. While failing all four grades and leaving most of the school work up to last minute and having the gull to tell her he cant do it all. His mother paying for his school only wanting him to have a proper education to have a better life and is down 2 courses for him is only met with laziness and selfishness.
Lets also talk about someone who forces his mom to buy PIZZA and milk constantly and manipulated her to buy extra WANTS when the family has little money. The boy who also found the pet of his dreams and had then drive across the state to pick up a dog twice as far as his brother fiance did. but its okay to rag on other people right?
The little brother is also just as capable of getting a job and helping the family as his older brother but we dont see wither one with a job...hmmm..but its okay to rag on him...
With that all being said, the his family is in horrible despair. we cant afford much at all and there just isnt enough income coming in yet but your brother is getting a job despite the fact the doctors told him not to. and between your parents and your brother and fiance are all physically and emotionally at their limits. we still have a broken fridge, a broken water softner, we cant afford easter... we are in a sinking ship.
but
your brother and fiance IN NO WAY are the SOLE reason to why this is happening and that is a horrible and selfish thing to say.
and for the fiances who knew you made an inigogo page and to see that you used them as some satanic scape goat who has cause your family ALL of the hardship is disgusting.
you shouldnt have to do all that just to make people help us, if you kept to the FACTS it would still be just as sad because it is.
