I’ve been posting all day about the fact we desperately need donations to reach our target of £550 by Tuesday and avoid eviction from my childhood home, and I’m sorry, but I’m making another post about it now - I’m desperate and I will do anything to stay. so far we’ve reached £176 towards our goal, and I am so grateful, but I need to ask for more. we’re selling what we can, but it’s not going to be enough without your help.

look at my house. I can’t leave here. I can’t watch this place get sold and torn down for a new build. my childhood cats are buried in the garden. my dad built this swing for me and there’s a pond full of newts and frogs I used to catch and give names to when I was little. my rabbit and two guinea pigs are buried on the hill behind the house and every goldfish I ever owned is buried under the lawn. a stray cat called violet lives in our barn and cries when she wants us to put a plate of food out for her, and we have a rescue cat called daisy who lives in the house with us and won’t go outside unless someone accompanies her, because she’s afraid of everything - she’ll have to be rehomed if we’re forced out of here.

please. please help us stay. I wouldn’t ask if i didn’t need to, but i will not survive being evicted from this place. it is my heart and soul. I’ve had nightmares about being tossed out ever since I was 5 years old, and I can’t live through the reality. the lease is supposed to pass on to me when my mum gets too old to handle it, and I intend to raise my own family here, bring whatever partner I end up with back here to share in it - this is my home, the only one I have. I simply can’t lose it.

thank you for sharing. please give whatever you can. I’ve never been this afraid or this desperate before.

my paypal is https://www.paypal.me/clayearnest 

and i have a youcaring fundraiser here if you’re more comfortable with that

there’s also a shorter post here if you’d prefer to save your dash 

please keep this going. thank you so much

Good luck.
