The Story

The best place I can think of to start is by telling the story. I want to be a vague as possible. The family that I am trying to help does not know that I am doing this.
The house isn't much of a house. It's no bigger than a double wide trailer, two bedrooms and a back porch that has been converted to a makeshift bedroom that someone or other has stayed in for as long as I can remember. It's old, it's broken, but it's a hell of a home. It's seen more love over the last 30 years than can be described in mere words. It's a place you can run away from and always be welcomed back with open arms. It's seen the laugher of more children that you can count on your hands, and the tears of just as many. It's a place that welcomes family, friends, and strangers off the street. The people that have made that home are kind, generous, and will give anyone the shirt off their back to ease their suffering. They carry the burden of many with a smile and a warm meal.
The sanctuary that they have created is being threatened and there is nothing that they can do. The part that is killing me the most is that there is nothing that I can do to help them.
The house that they live in was never technically theirs. It was his grandfather's and then his father's. His father always wanted him to have it, but he never changed the family trust to reflect that. When he died, the assets of the family were to be divided into equal thirds between him and his two sisters. It was agreed between them that sister 1 would get the parents house, sister 2 would get the cash and stocks, and he would get the house that he's been living in for decades. Then, sadly, sister 2 died, she was a kind and loving person that is missed every day. Because of that, her share was transferred to her daughter, who agreed to let her father handle the matter.
After that, the gloves came off, so to speak. There were secret meetings, hidden documents, and lies all around. The brother in question was not given paper work that he was entitled to, figures were hidden, and harsh words thrown his way. As it stands today, sister 2's husband is taking notes out on sister 1 and brother's homes. He has said that he will gift back the amounts at so much per year, but will not put anything in writing.
Because there is no reason to trust him, the owner of our sanctuary stands to lose everything.
If anyone is interested in knowing more details, I will be happy to give them. I have nothing to hide, I am only trying to protect.
My plea is this:
If you have a dollar to spare, or a quarter, or a dime, please consider sharing with this family. If you cannot spare anything, we also gladly accept prayers, happy thoughts and ask that your pass this link on. It only takes the generosity of one person to make a difference in a deserving couple's lives. I promise that I will not take any more than what they need to save this home. Once their home is saved, I will pass this site on to someone else so that another family can save their home.
Thank you for your time and you consideration.
