Stasiaj26's Request
|
 |
|
Misc. Expense
|
|
| Other: Safe water and an Angel Food Ministries for my family. |
|
Description: I just bought my first home on a land contract. It is a fixer upper in the country. There is a major plumbing repair many minor repairs needed in this home including the drinking water.
We have well water. Even with the water softener is has a foul sulfur odor and is quite orange. I will not allow my family do ingest it until I am able to have it tested for safety at the health department. For the time being I am buying water or bringing it over from friends and family when I visit which isn't often. I would like to be ab;e to purchase an on-tap water filtration system like Brita or similar for my family along with a filter pack. I have check Wal-Mart and Wal-Greens and it looks as if I will need to spend about $30 for this item.
Also I would like to be able to start with Angel Food Ministries. If I am able to purchase a food package each month it would definitely stretch my grocery money. Unfortunately I am unable to pay for it at the end of the month and wait until the end to receive it. If I can purchase a package without hurting the grocery budget I would not have the difficulty with waiting until the end of the month for future packages. |
| My progress: When we were negotiating the contract I was assured that the house would be clean and all the previous resident's possessions would be removed. Unfortunately they weren't. I have spent our first days here cleaning and sanitizing my home to make it a safe livable place for my children. The kitchen cupboards were littered with mouse urine and droppings. My husband has spent his time assessing the needed repairs to the home. The plumbing appears to need the most immediate attention as we have several drains that leak. We have been dividing our time between cleaning, repairs, and unpacking while trying not to over-do it. |
|
| This is a short term need assistance request for a family of 2 adults & 4 children |
| My message: I am looking to find ways to keep my family healthy and stretch every dollar possible. |
