Greetings,
My name is Mikel, I am a proud father of two beautiful girls Ridley and Riley, and married to the love of my life Joylyn. I am currently active duty military and my wife manages a coffee shop. My in-laws live with us as well in an attempt to firstly keep the family close but also my father in law has stage four Parkinson’s and they are on a fixed income being elderly and not able to work.
Joy and I make relatively decent money combined but not for 4 adults and 2 children and with the economy the way it is everything is expensive and only seems to be getting more expensive. Recently I had to take orders away from my family which means I will be living somewhere else while they stay back home of course. This only adds to the stress and financial burden. My goal is to be able to either pay off or significantly pay down our mortgage. Without that payment we would essentially be financially free lifting the burden and stress on my family tremendously.
At the suggestion of a friend of mine they suggested trying out this site. I figured what do I have to loose right? I have never asked for anyone for anything in my life before call it pride or just stubbornness either way if this is a path to ensuring my family always has a home then I would be insane not to at least give it a shot.
I read an article one time about a family that used crowd funding to become financially free any then shared his experience to then help others achieve the same as his family did. He said if the country could come together and everyone helped each other we would all be free. If 100,000 people each donated $10 your already at a million.
My goal is to reach $850,000 to pay my house off entirely. It’s such a large ask it’s embarrassing but you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
To anybody who potentially sees this and decided they want to help. From the bottom of my heart thank you.
