Overview

Erin's Dream, my dream, is to fundraise the remaining $200,000 to purchase a historic farmhouse in Schwenksville, PA. This home sits along the Perkiomen Creek & has a sprawling public trail that runs through the property. Upon purchasing the home, the house will be restored in an effort to support other families, like mine, who have lost a child or are facing the loss of a child due to a terminal illness.

I have lost 2 of my 3 children to cancer. My children inspired me to appreciate everyday & to follow my heart. Our family was very fortunate to receive great support from our family & community during Avery & Nolan's battles with cancer. When they passed, the support waned while the pain & difficulties continued in our lives.

Our goal is to build a Home of HOPE for families like ours. We feel that the property is ideal for refreshing a broken heart. We want other families who have lost a child to feel supported & welcome while also free to grieve.

How will the 250K be Used?

Budget Notes: This amount will secure us as owners of the Erin's Dream house & allow us to restore the house as needed to serve other families who have lost a child. This will allow us to provide materials to many contractors who have already promised donated labor to our project.

Take This Cute Girl (Kitty) Home With You


Take This Cute Girl (Kitty) Home With You

From my friends at Ex-Boyfriend (a great e-shop, btw):

Life is rough in the big bad city for homeless kitties. This sweet affectionate girl was found living beneath some stairs, filled with wooden planks, which were full of nails that she had to navigate past on her way in and out. A kind Baltimore pet blogger has given her temporary shelter, but this girl needs a forever home.

She’s been to the vet and has been spayed. She’s 12 lbs, and about 3 or 4 years old. She is litterbox trained and plays well with dogs. If you or someone you know can make room for this cutie let her foster dad know. You can email him at muttsblog@verizon.net.

Please tweet, facebook, etc. and spread the word!
