Hello! My name is Sarah Shrewsberry. I am a small town girl, born and raised in the desert of Southern California. I have a long time boyfriend named James Beck. We are High School sweethearts who have been together now for 13 years in September of this year.
We have currently gotten serious about our future. We are paying off all credit card debt while saving for costs of buying our forever home to start a family that I have been longing for over the years now. Our credit scores are improving drastically and our debt has shrunk immensely! The costs of the fees and a down payment for a home are not cheap by any means. We have recently realized the realities of buying a home and need a little bit of help to makes our dreams become a reality.
My boyfriend James is a Water Well Driller in our home town of Ridgecrest, Ca. He works his butt off day-in and day-out. Usually 12-13 hour days with no lunch breaks. I am a Produce Lead in a grocery store and also do Instacart on the side. We both try to work and save as much as we possibly can but with rent and bills we can only save so much at a time. We have never ever asked anyone for help or a handout. Every single thing we have today is because we have worked for it ourselves and earned it through hard work and dedication.
The main reason I am writing this letter and requesting help with a down payment for our home is because sometimes you need to reach out and see if there is a helping hand. I want to start our family and the rest of our lives together and with a little bit of financial assistance, it can all be possible. Sooner rather than later. I know that there are good people in the world that are willing or wanting to help hardworking, good, and trying middle class people that live on budgets and schedules. For some people it may be a small request, however for us it would be a major life change.
The moral of my story is simple. Hard working people that can only survive on certain hours of work need help. That is us, we need a little bit of financial help. Anything towards a down payment would help incredibly. We both grew up in single wide trailers and had little to nothing as children. We are determined and will make a change for our future children and make our living situations much better for them than our’s was. Please help this small town couple make there big dreams happen.

Sincerely,
Sarah S. & James B.
