Hi, My name is Jacob Koons and Im doing this fundraiser to try to have my childhood home and family house stay in the family.. my mom and sister were living in the house and idk what happened but I ended up getting told last week the house was gonna go into foreclosure because they weren’t paying the taxes on it. I don’t want to lose the place I grew up and it’s where I want my kids to grow up.. I want that house to be where memories can keep being made there.. the funds will be used for 2 things.. $2000 is needed for the property taxes that are due 2 weeks from now and i need another 3,000 to hire some professionals for plumbing and electrical. I also need another $5000 to get a vehicle that will actually last me a while.. every vehicle I’ve had ends up having major and expensive problems with in a year. I’m raising $10,000 until 09/29/2023 for Help me Save My Childhood Home.

Can you help? https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8XBWOKWxcf

To whom this may concern,

I am here today, requesting any help that can be offered, to help me through the finale of what is sure to be the most horrific set of trials I have ever experienced.

Here’s the story of the last 3 years of my life and how I went from a happily married, proud Husband, Father, homeowner & owner of my own company, Mavilo Lawn & Handy to… I don’t even know anymore..

2019 was the best year of my life & nothin will ever come close to touching it. I bought my first home, was the lead foreman at the machine shop I worked at, had the honor of marrying my highschool sweetheart & best friend of 18 years then we’re blessed with the news we would be welcoming our first child, a handsome amazingly talented boy named Maverik. I was on cloud 9, God was so good to me.

Then came 2020. In the beginning of 2020, COVID had just started to fester and spread through the US unbeknownst to us all. I contracted it and was so ill.. it affected my heart, kidneys, circulatory system, & vision. I was in and out the ER due to a heart attack, kidney failure & oxygenation issues. It nearly took my life, but I preserved and made it through, albeit with life long conditions that have changed my life forever.

Due to my constant need for medical attention, I was let go from my career as the foreman of a prominent machine shop in Salt Lake City, Utah where I had spent a decade learning the trade and enjoyed my work thoroughly.

After losing my career job, 3 weeks later, my high school sweetheart who I was blessed enough to make my wife, gave birth to my first son, Maverik.y wife had complications during the surgery and nearly died do to loss of blood but she was a warrior and we all three made it home safely.

Once we got back to life at home, my wife and son as well as I were having constant health issues that couldn’t be explained. I was able to figure out what it was one morning when I looked on the ring cera and saw my baby blue and not breathing. I ran swiftly upstairs and shook me awake, he came to. God was good to me yet again.

It turned out that the entire home was riddled with mold in the walls, behind beadboard, everywhere, it was gnarly. So in protection of my family, I took them to California to stay with family while I renovated the home. I promised my wife it would only be 6 months…

The progress was painfully slow as I was working Instacart and door dash for money to fund the renovations as well as learning how to build a house proper. Eventually I ran into my ex girlfriend (prior to my wife) that I had purchased my home with but had kicked out due to her inability to stay off drugs. She was homeless and still struggling, so I offered her a deal, “if you help me renovate the house s I can bring home my Wife and Son, I will give you $25,000 in equity so you can buy a car, get a place, get sober, as Regain custody of your daughter.”

To which she said, “alright, let’s fix this house.”

So work moved swiftly after that until my Wife in California, looking around ring surveillance cameras, saw my Ex bringin things into the house and was devastated. She knew my Ex and was always envious of her, for why I am not sure, “there is no one on Earth or Heaven more beautiful & perfect than my Wife.”

Heartbroken & without warning, she filed for divorce and that atomic bomb of realization drove me to attempt suicide. With my gun in my mouth, pictures laid out in front of me of my incredible family, that was to be no more, I closed my eyes, and as I went to pull the trigger…

My Ex walked in, saw, and sacked me to the ground.

She held me in a bear hug right as she could as repeated over and over again,

“I am so sorry for what has happened to you, Chris, but I love you & you can’t leave me in this world. I love you.”

This comfort and concern gave me new hope that maybe we could start a new together & perhaps my wife would be happier without me. So we kept working and dated, eventually getting pregnant with my second son, Milo.

(That’s why my business is named “Mavilo”, it’s the combo of my two boys Maverik & Milo names. They are my whole world.)

Time has now passed and before my second son was to be born, my mortgage servicer lied to me, and illegally put my home into foreclosure. Nervous and scared, we hung on and shortly there after, welcomed Milo into this world. Unfortunately upon returning home to finish the nursery before their arrival home, I found drug paraphernalia and substances hidden in her stuff,

My Ex had been using during her pregnancy…

Infuriated, I told her, When I come pick you up tomorrow, we need to have a serious talk. I will not raise a child with a drug addict.” So what she did next still hurts my heart moe than anything have ever experienced, She ran from the hospital with our new baby boy, with the aide of her family who she had convinced now that I wasn’t good to her.

That was April 2020…

I still have not seen either of my children due to financial struggles, vehicle issues, and fear of realizing I may be too late.

That I may have lost everything.

So I decided to rent out rooms in my house to raise money so I could fix my vehicle and get back to my newly started and flourishing business. Unfortunately I choose poorly in the way of tenants and they were nothing but trouble, drugs, and rampant theft of my things.

There shortly after my house was illegal sold at foreclosure for bottom dollar. (Half price) it was also burglarized the day before I came back to remove my things. To the tune of about $70,000. Fortunately, I was able to get the SUV running after engine failure two years prior which ended my business. Now homeless and with no money but a half way functioning vehicle with no registration, began working were I could to work my way back to normal life.

I then was involved in a rear end accident due to someone else running a red light. I got cited. Now with warrants and a suspended license I forged ahead doing everything I could to handle my many situations as they came at me. Overwhelmed and sure of certain failure, I kept pushing forward praying for strength and courage to persevere.

The SUV finally died again, this time for good. I lived out of it for a month with my two small service animals,praying for answer and then it came. I posted on Facebook asking my friends and family if anyone had a cheap vehicle I could buy. And then I bought my Ford fusion. I was back in it. God was good to me.

At this point I had but 3 weeks to pay my storage unit or they were to sell it, the total being $800, I was ready and knew I could do it. Then the water pump and oil pan gasket were leaking, so I took my vehicle to the shop. A quick fix became almost 3 weeks and upon getting my vehicle back,y unit had been sold.

Everything I had ever owned, cherished, memories and trinkets from passed relatives, gone. Everything now gone.

I decided to stay with my father for a few weeks and went to Colorado to watch my younger brother race BMX. While there I was riding a dirt bike on the side of a road when a truck and travel trailer turned in front of me. Not having signaled, I laid the bike down at 45mph and preceded to go under the tires.

I was hospitalized with multiple lacerations massive road rash and bruising, staples in my head, but thankfully no broken bones. God was good to me.

Unfortunately yet again, I developed MRSA infection and bacteremia that led to sepsis for which I then had to be hospitalized for three weeks.

Which brings me to my current place in this world. I am divorced, homeless, fighting chronic MRSA infections in both legs, my car is running but doesn’t have AC and it’s hotter than heck outside.. too hot for me or my dogs to be sitting but we persevere. We work everyday and are trying our hardest.

My Ex refuses to allow me to see my younger son, but goes and sees my family regularly to rub it in my face. She has convinced them that I was the problem and drug addict and so my reputation has been maimed by her as well. Unfortunately I don’t have time to battle smear campaigns as I have to focus on the task at hand first, for the ultimate goal of getting custody of my boys.

Over the past 18 months I have studied law and have found all the evidence I need to prove collusion with the buyer and trustee, and fraudulent foreclosure on my servicer but can start that fight until me andy pups have a safe, clean, stable place to be for a few weeks. And so that is why I am here, begging praying, wishing, hoping…

For anyone who has faith and sees a battered and broken man not willing to give up, not willing to die. I have one focus and goal in mind, get justice for what has been taken from me then live the happily ever after I was destined for.

I don’t have a set amount I need as I have made a itemized list but housing is the most important followed closely but food.

You don’t know me, and I don’t know you, but in all the horrors I have experienced, I can tell you one thing still…

God is real. God is good.

I believe in God and I believe in the justice system and I know will a little support I can weather the last part of this storm and come out changed. A stronger, better, more understanding, more lovingan than ever before.

I thank you all in advance for your support, assistance and prayers in this situation. God bless.

.

The past year has been draining me in every which way. Me and my brother have a house and he fell on hard times  financially. He was unemployed for a while and I was carrying most the weight of the mortgage. He hasn’t been able to keep up with life ever since he lost his son a couple years ago. He’s been job hopping trying to catch bills up. Over time our mortgage loan payments became delinquent. They’ve raised mortgage from 1700 to 2000, and then from that on to 2200. I couldn’t keep up with it all I have enough pressure on me as is. I’m the only one who take care of my mother. I’m 22 and she’s 62, but her legs are getting bad from fluid build up making them fat. She can’t drive so I take her everywhere. A lot of folks don’t understand how hard it is to be a young adult taking care of your parent so early. Going from adjusting your schedule for them, to them becoming the schedule. It’s very time consuming, especially at a young age where I haven’t even established myself yet. On top of that, as of right now, my main focus is getting money for CDL school. That’s a perfect way for me to pull in more money quick. I know there’s companies that do paid training, but the train to hire programs contract you to work for them for 1-2 years and you’re most likely driving wherever and whenever they tell you to. I can’t take that deal right now because my mother is fully dependent on me, so I can’t be gone for days and weeks on the road yet. But I can do local CDL work. Not the end goal, but definitely a big step forward. I just need enough wiggle room to get my debts paid off and then I can start buying my time back. And of course… anything helps, thank you for letting me vent-

This is my last chance to save my family home and get caught up on bills. 

Hello to all potential Donors. I would like to introduce myself and tell you a bit about myself and my family and how we have come to the point of asking for help. It is hard to ask for help but I will do whatever it takes to help save my childhood home that my parent’s built. I will attempt to be as concise and to the point as possible in the hopes that I can share my story with you.

I am the youngest of my parent’s children. I grew up in a small farming community in the Midwest, in Illinois with my Mother, Father and 2 older sisters. My Father was an over the road truck driver and my mother worked in a factory part time when my sisters and I were of school age. My parents saved their money and bought 3 acres of land and built a home for our family. Growing up here in this home and community are some of the best times of my life. My plan is to retire here once my son graduates. Unfortunately, life has thrown many curve balls at us that we have had a very hard time maintaining the home and everything needed to keep the home in our family to pass down to future generations. 

My oldest sister cannot help due to her problems she has with addiction for a few decades now. We may only see her once a year if even that. My middle oldest sister was a stay at home mom for over 25 years until her divorce. At this time she went back to school to be a medical assistant to help herself keep her home and raise her young daughter she still has in the home. Her income is minimal and has a hard time keeping up with her own bills. 

It was our last chance and hope to be able to bring things together for our family. I had a decent job and some money saved along the way so I was able to help out where I could. When my mother passed in 2017 my Father was able to keep things afloat with his monthly pension. Unfortunately, they didn’t plan very well for future expenses in the event of their death. My Father passed away in 2021 due to Covid-19. My Father and my Mother each had a life insurance policy of $15,000 which was enough to pay for funeral services and to maintain the home for approximately 1 year. My income took a very hard hit after 2020. I am an all commissioned Real Estate Agent and the market had taken some twists and turns and it was hard to find clients. 

I was able to use what little money we had set aside for our son to help out with the family home and still try to maintain our home as well. In the Winter of 2022 things went from bad to worse when my Mother In Law was diagnosed with Dementia. The little time I did have to try and drum up business was now being spent to help take care of her needs. By April, 2023 she needed full time care and we are currently still giving her full time care while she is on Hospice. You see, my Mother was diagnosed with Lung cancer in June 2017 and only given 3 months to live. I moved home and stayed with my Mother everyday until she passed away in September. She died peacefully at home surrounded by family and that is where she needed to be. Many people have said that we should put my Mother in law in a facility but I want her to be as comfortable as possible and at home where she needs to be with family as well. I did get approved to get paid for 20 hrs a week to help care for her since I am there five days a week and well over 20 hours. Unfortunately, the charity that funds the program will only allow payment for 20 hours. 

With my income being minimal, I am now late on my own bills as well as the bills to maintain my parents home. Bank of America has started foreclosure proceedings against my Mom and Dad’s home and I am being threatened by utility companies that my own utilities are in jeopardy of being turned off. I have reached out to family for help but everyone is falling on hard times right now. I am representing my parents estate Pro Se in the court to fight this foreclosure. My Parents only owed $20,000 on their mortgage but since falling behind, It is now up to $28,000 with all the fees assessed. In addition to that, the home needs about $20,000 in updates such as new windows and siding to keep the home from deteriorating from the weather. 

I want to be able to hand this home down to my son or my great nieces and nephews to keep it in the family for generations to come. To make that possible, I had the home put into a land trust with myself as the sole beneficiary. Both of my sisters signed an affidavit of heirship giving me 100% beneficiary and signing away any rights they had to the estate. All of this has been done with an attorney and recorded with the county. I am sure that I could write so much more about many hardships we encountered but I believe you get the picture of what I am trying to accomplish. I am willing to meet with any potential donors, provide documents, photos, do any zoom calls or even have donors visit the property if they would like to. Donors can meet my family and ask any questions that they deem necessary to make any decisions in regards to donations.  The amount I am requesting is $80,000. This amount would allow me to pay off the home and any court fees associated with the foreclosure. I would be able to replace the windows and siding and fix a few things necessary to keep the home in good condition. It will also allow me to bring all of my bills that are delinquent up to date. 

I want to thank each and every one of you that took the time to read my story and I want to thank all of you in advance for your consideration to donate to my cause. 

Thank you

Hello,

I am so appreciative of any financial assistance that can be given to my family.  I work very hard as a single Mom.  I’ve always had between 2 or 3 jobs at the same time.  I recently worked for a company named The Insights Shop as a Recruiter.  I worked on 15 projects… alot of them simultaneously and now when it’s time for payment, they did not deliver.  I have over $18000 in invoices owed to me.  This caused so many issues.  One of the projects required me to hire people to work for me and I haven’t been able to pay them.  I’ve received eviction notices and legal threats from my staff and my company name has been ruined.  To make things worse, I am now in foreclosure.  The income I have coming in is insufficient and I’m seeking a third income again.  I’m trying very hard to pay my staff but I also have to keep the lights on and food on the table.  The Insights Shop has acknowledged that they owe me but they misappropriated funds and can’t pay me timely.  I really need to keep my home since I care for my teenage son and our 5 wonderful dogs.  Pleasehelp in any way that you can.  I need at least $15,000 to save my home from foreclosure but it accumulates legal charges everyday.  Thank you so much for any help you can give.  God Bless You!   My PayPal is listed below.  https://paypal.me/withluv454?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US

As a last resort putting my ego and pride to the side and doing something I never thought I would do I’m asking for help. The last 5 months I’ve been battling the emotions of a possible divorce with my wife whom I’ve been with for 8 years and we have two kids. The emotional stress that is left me with has put me in the state of depression I’m never thought I could be in. I have fallen behind on the mortgage to the point that I’m coming up on foreclosure I’ve exhausted all other resources and this is my last attempt at preventing that. I also am looking to get some help as far as treatment and rehabilitation. The insurance are currently have does not cover any of those areas and the out-of-pocket cost for one week is $6,000. Padding that to the 5200 to bring my mortgage up current is the most I’ve ever been behind in my life and I’m fixing to be 42 years old. Although divorce is something one does not plan for and has no possible way of knowing what it could do mentally to one’s health the choices I’ve made afterwards I have nobody to blame but myself and that’s why I’m in the current shape I’m in and I have no problem owning up to that. All I can do now is try to be a better version than myself tomorrow than I am today and by doing so I’m asking for help to get started with that. I have always been the giving type never really allowing anyone to help me because I know everyone has enough of their own problems without having to add someone else’s. So anyone who is willing and able to help with anything it would be greatly appreciated and I’m not asking something for nothing. If there’s any way you can leave your information I would be more than willing to build you something from the wood that I have for my sawmill and send it to you if that’s even allowed on here
I don’t know much else to say I’m not really good at asking for help anyway but thank you for your time and reading my request.

Thanks for letting me post my story. I own a small Consulting business, and it was doing very well until my Mom got sick in December of 2022. So, we got together at my house for Christmas, my son and his family were here visiting from Utah. That’s when it all started. My Mom, who was already walking with a rollator. She fell when she came into the house. My son happened to be near when she fell so he was able to help her up. She said she wasn’t feeling well through the remainder of the month. In early January, 2023, she fell in her apartment and couldn’t get up. She waited for me to come by instead of calling an ambulance. I took her to the hospital where we found out that not only did she have the Flu, but she was suffering from major dehydration, and stage 3 kidney disease. She was admitted to the hospital for a few days, and then released to rehab for a few weeks. She had several Dr’s visits, physical therapy and occupational therapy, as well as a nurses Aide to help her around the apartment (cooking, cleaning, bathing, etc). During this time, I had to step away from my business for a short time to manage her care. This is when I started to get behind on bills, because I was taking care of her bills and mine. Unfortunately, I couldn’t keep up, and got behind. I made arrangements with her creditors and mine, but just as I began to start payments with the arrangements that were made, she had a stroke. That was in March. From there she was hospitalized for a little over a month, and then she was sent to a rehab facility for another month and a half. During this time, I took some time away from work, and wasn’t making any additional money to keep the bills paid. At the same time, or around about, my mortgage payment was increased from $1650 to $2350 due to an escrow shortage for the taxes. Needless to say I wasn’t prepared for the increase and found myself slowly falling behind. Now here I am, three months later, and three months behind with $5,000 due on the escrow shortage or continue paying the larger mortgage payment. I have been looking for( extra) part time, mainly remote, work to help out, but I haven’t had any luck. I would be more than grateful and appreciative if I could get any assistance with this. Thank you in advance for any assistance granted. May you be blessed for all that you do.

Hi everyone, I came across this website accidently while looking for work from home opportunities to earn extra income or income replacement.  I am a great grandmother seeking help to save my home from a sheriff sale. I have lived in my home for over twenty-five years. I had a loss of income and fell behind on the property taxes. My home went into foreclosure due to back property taxes. I got another job and started making payments on the back taxes again, but the fees, court cost, other added charges, and late penalties took away a lot of the gains I had made, which only lowered the total amount due a  little bit. I kept making payments on the back taxes to show good faith that I sincerely wanted to save my house.  Nevertheless, it hasn’t stopped the county from moving forward towards the sheriff sale. I found a government grant program that could help, but I needed more money to add to the grant. I can’t get the grant first without $6,788.00 which is the amount of money that would bring the amount due down to a zero balance. I applied for a loan, but it did not go through.  It’s like almost being there and yet so far away. 

Five months ago I fell at work and hurt my lower back and my tailbone.  I was out on leave for about eight weeks.  I came back to regular duty, but it was too much for me to start off with after hurting my back.  So my doctor asked for light duty for me.  I went to work, punched in and gave my light duty request to a medical staff employee.  I was told to have a seat while she placed a call  to her supervisor.  After a few hours she said that they couldn’t accommodate me and told me to punch out and go home and call their worker’s compensation office.  Two days later the employer emailed me that I missed too many days and I was dismissed.  That was confusing to me since they are the ones that told me to go home because they couldn’t accommodate me.  

I’ve been using my savings to live while attempting to collect unemployment benefits. My former employer objected to me getting unemployment.  I haven’t received any unemployment  yet, but I have appealed their decision. Meanwhile I keep making payments on my taxes as I look for a new job.

I probably only have left before I lose the opportunity to save my home.  This is why I am reaching out to the viewers of this website in hopes of getting help with the money that I need to stop the county from proceeding with the sheriff’s sale.  I would like to receive a donation because this is my only property and home and I don’t want to lose it. Thank You

I am a Long Haul Trucker and we are a family of four.  Things have seemed to spiral out of control financially over the last six months and have become dire in the last few weeks.  Freight rates have been very low and fuel prices out of control.  I have had multiple break downs that have devastated us financially.  I am not someone that has ever asked for anything I usually just work harder, however I am drowning and must ask for help. I have obtained a job since the latest breakdown that will cost thousands, as I will get my truck fixed in time but I must catch up on my family’s house payments and we are very close to foreclosure. I am truly begging for help and will offer our prayers for your generosity in return.  The statements attached tell the tale, although there is a much bigger story that goes back quite a few years. We do not have any financial safety net due to a business that went under after our bank was sold and the new bank pulled our lines of credit after 17 years of business.  We are not alone I have met so many small business owners in many different businesses that have met with the same fate. There was a time I didn’t understand how people could be homeless and then one day I got a phone call that changed our financial lives forever. I was told that my bank had been sold and my business loans would not be renewed. No discussion permitted all decided.  It has been a fight ever since.  My wife does not work she is a stay at home Mom to our 2 Sons.  It was a promise I made and until now I have managed to keep.  Our Country is hurting. I have reached into my pocket so many times and helped people without question that were obviously in need and now it is me. Thank you for understanding our difficulty and for your generosity. God Bless

Hello to the kind folks out there. This is something I have never done before and truly never thought it would come to this point in my life. I am a hard worker always have been since I was 16. I recently lost a job I just started i took a higher position in another company doing the same thing I’ve been doing for the last 5 years. I was happy i was going make good money final have something i can build on and make a career out of. This job is a distance its 2 and a half hours away. an agreement of 2 days in office and 3 days remote was made. it took a lot for me to get there work and book hotel rooms every week financially and personally.  They started scheduling meetings on days i was to work remote i would work in office Monday and Tuesday and on Wednesday i would get a in-person meeting in for Thursday. I could not keep making these trips and I opted to have the meetings remotely. I was terminated just cause 2 months in. I was lost i couldn’t believe I’ve been pushing so hard to get here in my life with all the setbacks I’ve had I finally get it just for it all to be taken away the second I got there. I was going to make sure my parents are good and taken care of, my dad doesn’t work and hasn’t in many years to due to his health. He has had open heart surgery quadruple bypass a pace maker and a stroke in the past years that has made him really take a backseat in life he has always pushed in his life to work hard. medications for him even with insurance is still crazy high. my mom pushes and pushes to work but with little education its barely anything to manage themselves so I’ve been that person for a very long time. I recently got a house a few years ago and now i am at risk of losing it. I am trying to find to make ends meet I tried taking the equity out of the house unfortunately I don’t qualify. I started build my own company to get things moving along and I am actively looking for jobs for over a month now and I have been able to cover things up until this point but now i am in a deep hole I cannot take any more loans outs. I even cashed out my 401k to help with the bills and i am struggling to make it. There is so much more to this and many more things that I can write in here but I hope that this reaches out to some kind souls truly please help I don’t know what else to do I don’t care about what i have to go through and deal with its my parents that I am truly worried about what happens to them and to my dad with his medications. Please and thank you to all of you. I truly appreciate each and everyone of you and thank you for reading my story.
