Hi,

I hope this message finds you safe, warm and well. 

We are very grateful for the help that allowed us to keep our room yesterday, and we thank the person who reached out. 🫂

The last several days, I have had a horrible cough that hasn't gone away; after catching the girls's sickness, I'd had a bronchial infection. With it being cold, us being in close quarters, and with the help of a questionable hotel breakfast, it's going around to everyone again. We're all coughing something serious, especially at night, and there are some runny and stuffy noses.😔

We are currently at a stand-still following Chase banks's decision to AGAIN reverse the refund we were rightfully owed to Anita—and taking the funds we were waiting for, for weeks. And now in the middle of what's been freezing cold. It has not only left us unable to pay for our room, but we also don't have funds for things like turning our service back on to receive communication, adding coolant to our truck to endure the heat can work, and even just having funds for food. 

If you feel led to help, while it's my husband's account that has been affected by the overdraft, my account is able to receive any funds donated to our Cash App, PayPal and Venmo apps. 🫂

Today, I humbly plead with you to please share our family's campaign, for Giving Tuesday—especially as the temperatures lower and we approach the winter and holiday season. Spreading the word could help us reach more people who might be able to support or connect us with housing resources. A single share could be one that makes all the difference. 🫂🤍

We can be reached via the campaign, or by email at : ✉️ newbeginnings0244@gmail.com

Immediate support, which we will share here, can be sent to:

Cash App: $newjade194

Thank you, and God bless and keep you. 🤍

Hi,

We are thankful for the person who's help allowed us to be here the last two days. 🫂

We have been trying to resolve this issue with our account with Chase bank, and they have told us there is nothing they can do; that it will have to be resolved outside of the bank, with the police—and it's further evidence to add the the report that we initially made. 

Today, we anticipated being in Illinois. We were working with Family Promise to secure a lower rate for an extended stay hotel so that we could start the process of acquiring our personal documents. Our account is overdrawn by more than $1,000—after Chase bank reversed the refund they'd credited to our account, BACK to Anita. Because of this, the direct deposit that we should have received on Thanksgiving Day was taken. 

We have no funds for gas, or food. For our room. For our phone service. Our truck needs coolant, and there is no heat. It has been freezing cold the last few days. And we don't know what we will do. 

We are thankful for any help.

Hi,

It is incredible that my husband's late best friend's family would reach out, and help us cover the room for today. We are thankful. 🤍Thanksgiving was hard for us, for so many reasons...One of the main ones being that today is also his dad's birthday. It cuts that much deeper that he isn't here. 💔 As he grieves the best grandfather our children could have had, his best friend's family grieves a brother, a son, a father gone too soon. 

The holidays can be a sensitive and difficult time for many people. 💔 Praying God is near to those who are brokenhearted and missing loved ones lost. The pain never goes away...it just gets easier to shoulder. 

As we carry all of this, we continue to receive the laughing emojis, and we are hit with the stones that people have continued to throw from behind keyboards, and we are enduring the bullying from people who feel they can pass judgement because they are in better situations. People who have not prayed for us or wished us well more than they have criticized, and have never even been willing to speak to us about our circumstances in depth. 

We thank the people who reached out today to check us on us because of what today is... And who sent $14 and $35 to us to help us after what occurred yesterday. 🫂 God bless you both. 🤍

PSALM 10:

Why, Lord, do You stand far off?

    Why do You hide yourself in times of trouble?

In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,

    who are caught in the schemes he devises.

 He boasts about the cravings of his heart;

    he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.

 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;

    in all his thoughts there is no room for God.

 His ways are always prosperous;

    your laws are rejected by him;

    he sneers at all his enemies.

 He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”

    He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”

His mouth is full of lies and threats;

    trouble and evil are under his tongue.

 He lies in wait near the villages;

    from ambush he murders the innocent.

His eyes watch in secret for his victims;

like a lion in cover he lies in wait.

He lies in wait to catch the helpless;

    he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.

 His victims are crushed, they collapse;

    they fall under his strength.

 He says to himself, “God will never notice;

    He covers His face and never sees.”

Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God.

    Do not forget the helpless. Why does the wicked man revile God?

    Why does he say to himself,

    “He won’t call me to account”?

But You, God, see the trouble of the afflicted;

    You consider their grief and take it in hand.

The victims commit themselves to You;

    you are the helper of the fatherless.

Break the arm of the wicked man;

    call the evildoer to account for his wickedness

    that would not otherwise be found out.

The Lord is King for ever and ever;

    the nations will perish from His land.

You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted;

    You encourage them, and You listen to their cry,

 defending the fatherless and the oppressed,

    so that mere earthly mortals

    will never again strike terror.

Hi,

I pray that everyone who finds this message is safe and well.

We need to share this urgent update.

As many people are spending the day cooking, giving thanks, and being with loved ones, we are dealing with another serious matter. 

We have tried so hard to express the severity of our circumstances, especially after Anita Schupman  stole nearly $3k from our family and robbed us of that and the promise of a home, through what would have been a camper. 

WE ARE STILL DEALING WITH IT TODAY. 

We were awaiting a direct deposit, the small single income that we currently have and depend on. And after speaking with Chase bank weeks ago, we were anticipating them providing a solution when Cash App wouldn't, and returning the funds we were rightfully owed. 

But today, THIS happened: 

CHASE BANK HAS OVERDRAWN MY HUSBAND'S ACCOUNT, AND TAKEN THE DIRECT DEPOSIT WE WERE WAITING FOR. And they have AGAIN reversed funds we were rightfully owed, back to ANITA SCHUPMAN, who stole our money and never provided us a camper as promised. Because she filed a claim. 

•We filed a police report.

•We filed an IC3 GOV report.

•We each reported the fraud to both PayPal and Cash App, who have offered no resolution despite the substantial evidence we have provided. 

We still don't have a home. 

We are still in difficult circumstances.

And now this.

This woman's scheme has been more than elaborate, and we need help. 

We are ready to contact the press, anything. 

We need help. 

Yesterday, we quietly planned to gear up tomorrow and tough out the drive to Illinois, and work with Family Promise to get a reasonable rate for a hotel there, with the $1,000 we were going to have to work with. Just to start. 

Now, we have nothing. 

We have no peace for tonight, we have no security for tomorrow. 

If you are willing to help us to contact the press to shine some light on this situation, especially those who have offered prayers or financial support, or who have been in direct communication since our initial contact with Anita —please reach out to us. 

✉️ newbeginnings0244@gmail.com

We do not deserve this. Our children do not deserve this.

We don't know what to do. 

💔

I have $56 in my Cash App account that we can put towards our room tomorrow. We will need WiFi and phone access tomorrow to contact Family Promise, in hopes they may be able to help us figure something out now. But we are $14 short of the total we would need after tax. If you see this and are able to help, we thank you. God bless you all, and be safe. 🤍

The enemy has been busier than ever. 😟

We are okay at this moment. But something's happened, we are facing an emergency...🥺

Trying not to worry, but honestly, we are afraid. 😥

Just prayers today, for my family, please. 

Keep us covered in prayer.

No prayer hand emojis. 

No candles.

Just heartfelt prayers for us all. 

Please.

Thank you to anyone who's warring in the Spirit.

Christ bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Hi,

If there's any way you see this message today and you're able, we would be grateful for your help. We are just a couple days from our room's expiry, and there are a few more days until we will have the funds to cover the next full seven days. We have cut costs where we can, and we have put some things off, like phone service, but even today, we don't have groceries. 😞 We tried buying cheaper detergent from Dollar Tree to wash our clothes by hand, but honestly it doesn't work because it doesn't make soap...and our clothes are a bit rough after repeated wearings. We could use some real detergent and even oxiclean, but they are too expensive. We had a broom and dustpan we purchased in TN to maintain our room, but we left it behind some hotels ago. (We do have a mop, thankfully.) Our oldest's canvas shoes are ripped, and our temporary fix has been coming undone. 🫤 (We have been buying cheaper shoes at Walmart every few/several months, because they do not last, which is just more over time...) We have some assignments we need to print for the girls, and there are a few supplies they could use. I don't know what to write, honestly, but the words I want to share are inside... It's been cold at night, and the last few days, I've been battling an upper respiratory infection and a mild toothache at the same time.. 😔

If you see us, if you're praying for us, I just thank you. 🫂

Please, share our family's campaign for Thanksgiving.

5PM: Thank you, to the person who sent us $50. 🫂 We are thankful. 

Good afternoon,

If this finds you today, I pray you are safe, warm, fed and well. 🤍

(First, if you have tried reaching us by call or text, our phone is not in service.)

I wanted to share an update with anyone who is still following our campaign and checking in on us. 🫂

As the small, immediate circle of brothers and sisters in Christ have known, we have been in communication with an organization called Family Promise; and we have shared the entirety of our story and circumstances with them. Most recently, it was woman from this organization that helped us to lock in a lower rate at the hotel where we have been fortunate to stay. We have since spoken about some of the ways that they could potentially be able to help...in short, at this time, adjusting the rate for our room is the best that they can offer us. While they have some resources available for housing (they work directly with landlords to get people into rentals) there are criteria that we do not currently meet in our immediate situation that deem us ineligible for assistance —and at the same time, the list of properties that they have ready to accommodate persons who are eligible, are filled up at this time. They have not dismissed us altogether, but they have let us know that it may take some time to figure out what, if anything, they are able to offer us. 

While that isn't much of an answer for us immediately, we are thankful to be in communication with the kind people that we have spoken to thus far, and the fact that they were able to adjust the rate for us is in itself a much needed blessing. 

We met an older woman who's lived where we are for three years. She was kind, and in conversation she shared that, as long as we are able to make payment, this is a place that we will not have to fear being kicked out from, with our kiddos. 

It is true that it's different from the other hotels where we have stayed, in a number of ways:

•There is no free breakfast, no matter how minimal. This means no fruit or yogurt, hot tea for the kids, but also means no cups, plates, bowls, utensils. There is also no ice or water machine; (namely an issue because we are normally water drinkers, and we have found that Indiana may have what is recognized as "pink water", which is dangerous to consume). 

•There is no business center. This means we no longer have free unlimited access to a working printer when we need to print anything, namely our children's assignments. The closest place we can go to do so is a FedEx store, and it is not immediately close by. 

•The housekeeping charges a fee to provide clean and/or additional towels. (There is a guest laundry room, but it costs $3 each to wash and dry a single, standard-sized load). 

•There is a charge for phone calls made from our room, even locally. 

•The free WiFi is inconsistent; there is a fee to pay for better service. (We were previously using an $80 adapter we'd purchased from Walmart, that we once returned to be able to cover our room; there has been a noticeable difference without it when trying to connect to service).

These things are small, but have posed a slightly greater challenge at times, with things as they are. 🫤

We DO have:

•A door with a decent lock.

•A burner to cook on

•A small, full-sized fridge + freezer 

•A sink

More than anything else, we have been truly thankful to be able to be here without it feeling strange to the people who work here, and without being mistreated. 

We can receive mail, as long as we are here....This still does not include personal documentation, as it pertains to Illinois, but this helps a lot. Aside from the issues that stemmed from Anita scamming us out of the camper we tried to purchase, my husband's bank card was compromised months back; and my card has been cracked. Because we have not been able to pay more than a couple days at a time, it wasn't an option for us to request new cards. (The transactions made to his card totaled a couple hundred dollars; and we cannot confirm how the card was compromised). 

Every day, we talk about how to change things, we try to create a plan. In just a few days, we will again need to secure the room. But at $406 for a full week, we are thankful to know that we will at least be able to handle covering a full week when we receive our small income. 

In speaking about moving forward, we are grateful to those who have understood our need to be able to make it beyond surviving one day to the next. 

Finding a rental doesn't seem realistic, per our experiences with the eviction records; unless the Lord will allow us to find a person willing to work with us, which He can very much do. The cost of monthly rent is very high, on average; before eviction, and while employed full-time, our rent was nearly $1,500/month, not including utilities, or any of the costs we had to factor into budgeting as a family of five. For this reason, we have still considered a camper as a reasonable solution, and a means for us to finally have a truly stable home. We have continued to research this extensively, and we would like to continue to share our campaign with this in mind. 

As those of you who have been following us know, we have not been able to find the reach we need for support such as this. And our campaign has been shared roughly 30 times since it's creation. 

Today, I humbly plead with you before this Giving Tuesday, (December 3, 2024) before the holiday season, and before winter is fully upon us, to please share our family's campaign. We are fortunate to have a YouTube channel that will be sharing it, and we ask for your prayers that it can reach kind, loving people willing to offer help—such as those who have walked by our side, in long-suffering with us, even when no local church would help. 

Not one person can do everything, and we are unable to do it alone. But a lot of people willing to help a little, could make so much difference. 

We are not simply looking to relocate to Illinois. There is no home, no family, no friends, no place for us to stay. We will have to pay the cost of travel, secure a place to stay, go into the necessary government facilities to apply for our personal documentation; pay the fees to register and insure our vehicle (just to start). Then we can work on the next steps—getting our vehicle inspected/tuned-up, me finding reliable part-time employment, and the rest. 

Currently, we are in a place that we will not be asked to leave. Where providing payment will mean what it should have all this time: security. If we could have a couple weeks secured here, even the camper aside, it could help us so very much to put things into motion. We could take the small income we have, and use it to fund the drive to Illinois begin the process to recover our documents; we could use it to register our vehicle and pay two tickets we owe, so we are in good standing to drive, rather than being afraid of having our vehicle impounded. 

I apologize this ended up being such a long post. 

I thank each and every one praying for us, and I keep you and your families and loved ones in my prayers. I thank those who are trying to share our campaign, those who have offered support in any manner.

Thank you, and God keep you always.

"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all." 

—Emily Dickinson 

P.S. The photo is of our peace lily, which our daughters named Plantera. 💚 When I tell you this little plant has been everywhere with us...Several months ago, on a particularly difficult day with my health, I felt compelled to bring her back in hopes she would spark joy. I have always loved plants (I used to have fourteen 🫶🏽) but especially peace lilies, and spark joy she did. For me, it is also another reminder of God's love. There have been times where we have stayed at hotels and I felt I couldn't bring her inside, and she was left in the car. (This probably sounds ridiculous, until you know that hotel staff can mistreat you as soon as they can assume you're using their hotel as a living space). I have been trying to keep her alive, even though I'm unable to replant and all the rest... I have full hope in my heart one day we will get to bring her to the place that we call home. 🤍🥲That her leaves will be lush and green, and she will grow so large, and we will remember that the whole time, we were growing, too. 🥹🙏🏽🪴🏡🕊️

Hi,

It's cold outside...

I wish I had more I could say to the few people who have been long-suffering with us, who have stood by us, and who helped us to be able to be here for the week. Especially as some of you are fighting battles of your own and trying to show up for yourselves and your friends and loved ones.💔

My overall health, spiritual, mental, physical and emotional, has been tolling. I've been having a flare -up, and I have felt so close to a heart attack. I feel small and frail... I feel stupid for longing for family and friends that we don't have. I'm tired of sharing it all and falling apart publicly. 💔

I wish I could hug each and every one of you. I wish I could say more than thank you. 

I just thank you so much, for my daughters.

🫂

Hi,

I wanted to take a moment to publicly acknowledge the four people who offered my family help the last two days... Thank you,  truly, so very much. 

Your help came at a time where we needed it most, and as I was facing an emergency I'm not fully ready to share just yet. 😥

There have been serious effects of the weight of the stress of our circumstances on my physical health. Even as I write this message. 💔 It hurts so badly not to have family or friends, anyone to call as I shoulder this load. 😞

Today we are back in the cycle, even as I try to recover/receive care, and my family waits for me. I don't know when the Lord will allow for this storm to be over, but I'm praying it will be soon. 

As far as our next steps, we are trying our best to keep contact with an organization that is seeking out resources for us. With things being uncertain one day to the next, we have not paid our phone service, rather putting any help we receive to covering our room. It has made the most sense at this time. We are relying on the hotel phone and the staff receiving messages on our behalf. 

Also, the YouTube channel that initially shared our family's campaign, that led some of you to find us, has made contact, and they have agreed to use their platform to share our campaign again. We know they are not obligated to do this, and we are very touched that they would be willing to do so in hopes that it may reach a broader group of people who may be willing to help in any manner they feel led—that may perhaps open a door to a resource or a place to live. It means that much more as the small group of brothers and sisters offering support continue to witness believers we have reached out to, turn their backs on us. 

I'm thankful for each and every one of you, for your families and friends. I thank you for your faith, for your prayers, your fellowship. I thank you for the care and love you have shown my family, our daughters. I'm crying as I write this message. I want to get better, I want to be okay, I want to be home. I have big prayers that the Lord will somehow allow my family to repay you for all you have done for us. And for the times you have seen us when no one else has. 

It's officially snowing for the first time, today. Winter is here. We have faith, but we are afraid. 😞

If anyone may feel led to reach out today, please message us here, or ✉️ newbeginnings0244@gmail.com

If you may like to help us with food or groceries, we have the Instacart and Shipt apps, and we are roughly a ten minute drive to the nearest Walmart. 🙏🏽 We could share our needs, like for soup or a couple cases of bottled water. 

Thank you so very much. 🫂 Please know that Christ has seen everything you have done, heard every prayer. Whenever it comes to pass, you will be greatly rewarded for the love you showed complete strangers. There is a reason you have been so few. Thank you, and we love you, in Christ. God bless you, in Yeshua's name.

9:55AM : Someone just made contact from an organization called Family Promise. While there are only so many services they offer, they shared some good news. They would be able to help us with a significantly cheaper weekly rate where we are staying: Rather than paying $88/day, they can lock us into a deeply discounted $406 weekly rate. But the woman from the call center told us, we would have to initiate it today. Because of our uncertainty in being able to make this happen, they have also contacted the hotel on our behalf to secure a $58/day rate for us as long as we are staying. 

If there is any way you see this message today, if there is any way we can speak about this, or you are willing to speak to them to have the proof, if there is any way you're able to help us to make this happen, please send us a message. 🙏🏽 This is the best news we could have hoped for in our most immediate circumstances. 

Please.

We are trying to make updates as we receive more information/callbacks. 

Thank you.

🫂

Hi,

We could really use your help today.

With trembling hands and tears in our eyes, we are packing our things. And we have have absolutely nowhere to go.

Today, we will be forced to check out of our room, as we are unable to make payment. This will be at 12PM. 

If you see our message and you're willing to help, we thank you. 🫂

Assistance received will go towards maintaining our room, food, laundry, gas, car insurance, as these are our most immediate concerns as we try to figure out a more permanent living situation. 🏡

In transparency, we are roughly two weeks from an anticipated paycheck, and the cost of maintaining the room is cheaper if we pay for more days at a time; the daily cost is $88. Currently, a week's stay is an estimated $486 before taxes. Our phone service is $40. Our car insurance we can pay daily, which totals to a higher cost, but it is $115/mo.  We could use new shoes or warm items for the coming cold. We are in no way demanding these things; we received a couple messages asking, and we thought we would leave this information here. 🤍

To those praying for us and for those who have helped in any manner, we thank you, humbly.

Hi,

After having an extremely strange conversation with a man named David yesterday, I did some extensive research with my wife and found all of this….

This is the man who is the leader of this church that offered us a home to stay in.

D. Ray Tinsman.  

They consider him to be equal with YESHUA/JESUS and even said “his feet are the holiest to touch Earth.”

They claim he is an Apostle or an Angel from the Book of Revelation and that he is the most perfect man since ADAM to set foot on Earth. They encourage their followers to pray in his name, as well as the 11 other “Apostles” that follow behind him. They praise him and worship God in His name, and shun anyone who does not.

This is the cult that offered us a home. This is the cult that contacted us yesterday. The people we have been waiting on for over a week. This is utter INSANITY!!!!!!

They believe they are the one true church in the world, and that all believers will eventually go to them once the Seventh Trumpet Sounds…. They believe the 3 head leaders of their church are equal to the “Holy Trinity” The Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and they refer to themselves as such, the Godhead of the followers.  

They also believe this man, D. Ray Tinsman, is the embodiment of The Holy Spirit and equal to or as powerful as Jesus and all of the 12 Disciples. They pray in his name, and believe he has the power to forgive your sin and/or take away your salvation if he feels you are not part of the church in his way.  

They call him “The Grand Dragon” (which is synonymous with the K K .K as well as Masonic roots) and claim he was sent by God to lead the Christian World into the Coming of Christ. They do not allow women to wear makeup, nor do they allow anyone to wear jewelry, pants for women, denim jeans, or any of the like. They claim dressing like this makes them different from the world. They monitor your family life, internet access, phone usage, job and education. They also isolate their followers and attempt to take children away from parents, as well as encourage divorce if the spouse does not follow D. Ray Tinsman.

D. Ray Tinsman has also ADMITTED that he agrees with his 11 “Apostles” that he is the most perfect human being who is going to be the Greatest Apostle in the history of the Bible. They also claim they have authority to write scripture and take people’s salvation at his word. They control the color of underwear women can wear, what color car you can drive, where you can live, and who you talk to.

They claim this man, D. Ray Tinsman, has authority over every husband in the church, and HE is the leader of every woman and child. They do not allow instruments in their church, nor do they allow their followers to play video games or participate in anything worldly. There is so much more…. It seems their founder Daniel Wilburn Lane, was a drug addict and drug dealer and one day became “saved” thus starting this church in the the name of Church of God Restoration.

 I cannot believe this insanity….  

They said we would have to drive to come see the home, and make a decision when we got there. No specifics, no plan, no solid communication. Come to us and we will let you work to live and educate your children….. Just like that…..

CRAZY…..

They usually say when something seems too good to be true, it usually is…..

I’m just glad my wife and I have a brain…..

This is beyond finances. It has been, as those who have held on with have repeatedly witnessed. Even tomorrow, we don't know how we'll keep our room. It's getting colder out. Finances help, but beyond this, we need a solid opportunity. We are so broken and worn out at the expense of these scenarios, and people who have lead us into harder situations.   At this point we are so exhausted, and just want to go home.… 😔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

Hi,

We hope you are well, wherever you are. 

We wanted to thank and publicly acknowledge the three people that not only responded to our last update yesterday, but who sent us a combined $140 to cover our room and food. God bless you, and we hope you receive our gratitude. 🫂

We also wanted to share, that while there will be another, more detailed update to come, it will be following the message that we send today to the small group of people currently supporting and following our campaign.

Talk soon.

Good morning,

We wanted to share a quick update.

We'd been waiting to hear word from David, and to speak about what his offer is for us; Late yesterday evening, he got back to us to inform us he'd call us late this morning, today. We are hoping to be able to share an update by this afternoon. 🙏🏽 Also, we have contacted a local organization that helps homeless families with hotel rates as well as other resources, but we will not have word from them until Monday.  

We currently have $69 to put toward the room today, which is not enough to cover the full amount which is roughly $86 after tax, which means we are about $17 shy of our room today.  We are quite worried, as the front desk has let us know that there really is no exception when it comes to day to day payment.  We have until 12pm our time to have it covered.  We do not have funds for food either, unfortunately.  If anyone can please help us get over this hurdle for the day, it would be so very much appreciated. 

We have very good feelings about the opportunity David is going to present and hope to have a miraculous word this afternoon.  We are not fully sure as to what he will be presenting , but we do know he is a property owner and has been working all week to arrange something for our family, we are hoping a temporary home until we can get back on our feet.

We have faith that The Lord will open the door swiftly, and that He will lead us through this opportunity with Grace and Provision.  Hopefully, this afternoon, we can have a word to change the momentum of the situation.  

Again, we thank each and every one of you who have been helping.  Thank you for the person who swifo offered help when we were just shy of being able to cover the room yesterday. 🙏🏽You have all kept our little ones safe, warm and fed and we cannot express what that means to us.  From the bottom of our hearts. 🫂 We are trying to keep our eyes on Him in the midst of the storm, and pray this chapter is coming to a close soon.

We will update as soon as we know what opportunity David is going to present, please pray that it is a Miraculous Word, that The Lord provides a door to peace and stability.

From Our Hearts, in most sincere gratitude and love...  Thank You All So Very Much... 🤍🕊️

Prayers for the Lord's angels to carry my prayer swiftly to the courtroom of heaven today, in Yeshua's name. 

Hi,

I hope that you are warm, safe and well, wherever you are today. 

The last two days have been very difficult, to say the least. We have been struggling with something that I have been wary and fearful of talking about publicly, and we have already shared so much. I also want to speak about it delicately, and with as much respect as I can.

My husband has shared with me that he has been finding it difficult to...stay here. 🥺😞 And I have been trying my hardest to be here for us all, and help us through this time.

Yesterday, as I sat in our truck sobbing and praying for answers, I wanted so badly to talk to someone. I stared at my phone, repeatedly going through the short scroll of contacts I have saved. And I took a chance to message someone to ask for their help. I am most thankful for their kind response. 🫂 They took the time to pray for us, but especially my husband, and to initiate an effort for brothers in faith to band together to offer encouragement. 

Hours later, I would wrestle if it was the right thing for me to have done. For me to have shared something so sensitive, possibly embarrassing or endangering us all. And I then, would come across the article I read about fourteen year old José Zamora—who, last week, took his own life after the bullying he experienced at the hands of classmates. The reason? Because José and his dad, José Bautista, had been evicted from their home earlier in the year, and they'd been facing homelessness. This young boy repeatedly faced severe bullying. Beyond the harsh words spoken to him, he was hit, and even spit on, several times. This, paired with the immense weight of the circumstances they were carrying, was too much for him to bear. And now he leaves behind a father who is that much more broken. 💔

Children can be cruel bullies. I experienced severe bullying as a child, with particular incidents that still echo in my memory til this day. 💔 And I, like many others, know what it's like to experience this as an adult from other adults, when people are unkind, patronizing, or judgemental. And it brings about those same feelings. We have not shared all of the messages and comments, opinions we have received over the duration of what we have faced. But there have been some that, at times, were downright evil. But it has been my husband that has received those directly, the most. And that, paired with the weight of everything we are balancing, has allowed a foothold for the enemy to make him feel that he should not longer be here. Those that have said these things, not knowing us as people, shame themselves. 

Life is hard enough.

Be kind to others. You never know what they're going through. And you don't know that you would be able to handle the exact same circumstances, if God had placed the burden on you. Because unless you're facing it, you really just don't know. 😥 Check up on your strong friends. Check on the ones who don't always call first, or send the first message. Never assume you know what they're experiencing. Be a good listener. We have two ears to listen twice as fast as we speak. Be kind. Help others. Be forgiving. Be repentant. And meet others where it matters most —at the foot of the Cross, where all those who have fallen short of the glory of Yeshua meet, humbly. Where He who created us, cares for us, died for us all, because He loved us more than anything. 

I encourage you to keep Mr. Bautista in prayer as he is now forced to navigate his life without his precious son. 💔 Lift him in prayer. 🙏🏽 Because, a son burying his father, or a father burying his son—who can say which is worse? And especially when it could have been prevented. 😞

You can read more of José's story and find links to support his father here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DCVkAdZOO24/?igsh=NWt4M3B5bWV2bHdl

I humbly ask those who have been here for my family throughout our struggle, to please continue to pray for us as a family, and especially for my husband. 

Thank you to those who have seen us, who have been friends and family to us, under God.

You have my eternal gratitude, with Love. 🤍

Humbly.

Deuteronomy 31:8 "And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed." 🛡️

Selah.

Hi,

Last night, we were roughly $12 short of being able to cover the payment for our room today. I want to thank the person who sent us $50 last night so that we would be able to cover it. (The daily rate is $88, and we wouldn't have been able to stay without your help). 🫂

Yesterday, I sent a lengthy, vulnerable email to the small group of people who have been providing any response recently. I wanted to share that I have sent screenshots of the correspondence between us and the two people who are trying to help us find a place to stay— with one person in particular who is also attached to the email. One of the persons trying to help us with a place is a property owner. I would have sent screenshots to everyone via email, but we didn't receive a response until after I'd already sent the message out, and I did not want to be burdensome after writing so many words. The circle of those here for us has been small, and we want to provide proof to those who have been willing to help us.

In short, we are still waiting, but we now know that this person we're awaiting a response from may be able to help us in a significant way that would change our situation. 🙏🏽

It's fairly cold out today, and it was VERY cold last night —just sitting in the car to be alone for a bit with my thoughts, I was nearly freezing. 🥶Canvas shoes are not it in this season, (especially when they're peeling a bit 🫤) and by Thanksgiving there will be colder temps coupled with rain and snow. 

I want to again thank each and every person for their help. I'm hoping today will be the day we get the call. 🙏🏽

I will update to share any changes, support or information received. 

Please stay safe and warm, take care, and God bless with you always. 🤍

Tomorrow, November 13, 2024, is World Kindness Day. 

It will be global observance dedicated to both  promoting and celebrating acts of kindness across the world. It is also a day that serves as a reminder for very many people of the positive impact that kindness can have on individuals, communities, and in other aspects around the globe. Tomorrow, we will be making time to pray for every single person who has touched our lives this year, those here and for the loved ones of those passed. 🤍

Each person who has contributed to our family's campaign since it's creation, each one who has offered support, prayers, encouragement, and given us hope, has touched our lives in ways that will last through eternity. 

Today, I humbly ask to you who have shown care to please keep us onglobal observance dedicated to promoting and celebrating acts of kindness. This day serves as a reminder of the positive impact that kindness can have on individuals, communities, and the world at large. your hearts, and to please share our campaign for tomorrow, for our girls. 🫂 We are so incredibly thankful. 

In a world where you can be anything, be kind. 

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

And don't forget to be kind to yourself, too.

Good morning,

Yesterday, we'd shared more details about the things in effect as others are banding together to help our family. We will share more here, but there are a few people actively helping us try to find a place to stay, even temporarily, to get out of the cycle of the hotel. But they took are awaiting final responses, and we are in limbo until then. 

The rate is slightly lower where we are staying currently, and if we're able to pay the rate, we could maintain the room for a full week as we wait for those who are trying to assist us with housing and contacting ministries. It would be roughly shy of $500, rather than paying a full $100 or more per day. If you are still receiving our updates, we ask you to please, continue to share our campaign. Even one share makes a difference. If someone feels led to reach out, or if you may be willing to be part of this collaborative effort for our family's sake, please send us a direct message here, or contact us here:

Thank you so very much, to the three kind people who responded to our update yesterday; for the combined $180 that was sent as immediate support, and the $30 that was sent in kind to the campaign. 🙏🏽 

We are thankful for your help. 

🫂

We hope to be able to make a positive update soon. 🙏🏽

God love you, each one and all. 🤍

Hi,

We have received a few messages and comments across a couple platforms the last few days, and I wanted to share these words today. 

We weren’t just robbed of $2,700. We were robbed of months and months of struggle, pain, tears; we were robbed of restful nights, instead worrying and trying our best to reach out and make each day work. We were robbed of peace, tranquility, stability, sanity…. even the security we had owning our truck before using it as collateral to receive the loan for the camper that she never delivered. 😞 We were robbed of having the chance to finally breathe and have our privacy and our family life back. We were robbed of our life….We were publicly mocked and made by Anita to look dishonest to others, despite our vulnerability and our need for help for our daughters' sake. And in turn, we were also abandoned by people God led to help us, because she chose to be dishonest, and manipulate us in the midst of our circumstances. 😟

If you think this is about money, you have not been listening, or reading…. We have been transparent for over a YEAR trying to regain control of our lives, we fought tooth and nail to try to get that loan,

And ANITA SCHUPMAN….

This woman, robbed us of it all…

A home. 

💔 

This is far beyond money….

To you who have turned a blind eye and a deaf ear…. To you who have judged poorly, made assumptions, who criticized us more than you prayed for us, to you who have celebrated birthdays and holidays, had vacations and concerts, ate and slept peacefully without a single thought as to if we were okay, even we we begged, even when we pleaded to be seen and treated like human beings, family, know that I am not bitter when I say:

The Lord Sees All Things, and one day soon, He will raise us above these very circumstances, and bring us home. And even in eternity, your response will echo. 🙏🏽

While we're now officially back to uncertainty day to day, we are not just stuck in an endless loop simply trying to return to Illinois. That is still step one. Our only purpose to returning to Illinois at all is to try to recover all of our personal documents—birth certificates, social security cards, (which have been compromised not only because of the eviction but in trying to apply for rentals via marketplace) renewing and getting physical copies of our state ID and driver's license. We need an Illinois address to use for this, and one of the sisters who has reached out to us did offer to try to help us with an address to use. 🙏🏽 The state will not mail sensitive documents such as these elsewhere, especially to another state, and I cannot renew my identification without a valid address. (Chris does not need to renew his license, it's valid the next three years. We just have to be able to receive the physical copy, though that too may require an address change.) We must then pay to register our vehicle, for plates and tags. We have two tickets we know that need paying, as well; these were acquired when our neighbors made multiple attempts to have our vehicle towed, before the eviction and after severing our brakes. We are fully aware of this, and this is another issue to tackle with everything else. Driving, which we have been trying to avoid ever since we left Tennessee (we do not drive around if it can be prevented because every single time we are at risk of arrest or having our truck impounded) is a huge risk in itself, especially when we don't have a more final destination. Returning to Illinois does not give us any security as far as our living situation. We do not have friends or family we can stay with. We would still be struggling to maintain a hotel there, and the cost would be higher. It's also already much colder there, now that winter is approaching. As far as section 8 and housing assistance, we are already on waiting list for public housing. If we were to try to apply for any assistance, the only thing we would be eligible for most immediately is potentially emergency food assistance and Medicaid. I completed a homeownership webinar with Habitat for Humanity last year, (I have proof of this also) before the eviction took place; we were deemed ineligible to proceed with the course, which would have allowed us to apply for a home through the organization, because our credit scores were not high enough. Chicago is very much feeling the effects of the migrant situation, especially with the governor of Illinois wanting the state of Illinois to be considered "the most welcoming state" in the US to migrants. With that being said, there are migrants who currently have access and are deemed eligible to services and benefits that we are not, even with valid state IDs, and especially expired ones. Beyond pride or anything superficial, it is not at all safe to take our three daughters to a shelter. I have personally had the experience of living in a shelter, and it is not what people who don't have experience think it is. Beyond literal physical safety, it does not make sense to me as a parent to willingly enter a government facility with no valid personal identifying documents with three female children and have them put into a system where, because of the longevity and severity of our circumstances, we have lost years of proof of their school records that we never thought we would lose; and people in social work who are making a judgement based on how things appear through text can potentially make things worse, and our biggest fear is having our children taken away from us. Law enforcement can be unpredictable to say the least, and you can be arrested or have your children taken away if you are found parked somewhere sleeping in your car or found to be without a permanent home. They can do the same if you are living in a hotel, and much worse if you don't have at least that, and especially with winter approaching. The parents could be arrested. And after all we have already been through. At any point, we could have had one family member step in, take us in and help us regain our footing. That person would have been grandpa Rick, my husband's dad. 💔 We cannot find a place to rent without valid IDs, and I cannot find work without a valid ID and a consistent place to live. There are two evictions on our records, after my husband's relatives. Even when we had the finances to offer a landlord, no one we contacted would rent to us; many people told us to lie or be dishonest about the evictions, but we have been upfront. Every single day for us looks the same, but it looks different also. There has been no security to be able to maintain. And that is why we were planning to stay with brother Flores temporarily. Now that that seems to be out, now that Anita robbed us of our plan Z, we are back to square one. Please do not forget this. 😟 This was not our doing. And we put a lot of hope into this, thinking that it was the plan for so long. 💔

I read these words written the other day by one of my favorite writers. He said, (and I may have the words scrambled)

"You have never looked into the eyes of someone that God doesn't love. You can't love well and listen poorly. 'Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person, they're almost indistinguishable.' —(David Augsberger) You have a story to tell. Don't let shame, anger, regret, apathy, or fear con you into silence. Don't tell your story so people will like you. Tell it because there ARE people like you. And may we all have the courage to stop and truly listen. "The first duty of love is to listen." —(Paul Tillich) A lot of people are talking. Very few of us are actually listening." 

To those of you who have read, who have seen, who have heard, who have prayed, who have witnessed, who have listened, we thank you, so very much. 🫂

There are currently four people working in two groups (and soon collaboratively with others, God willing) trying to help us formulate a plan, and actively working on a place to stay, out of the hotels. Even if it is temporary, the goal is not a shelter. While we are grateful to be safe today, tomorrow is uncertain for us. We are also fortunate to be in a place that has lower rates for longer stays. If anyone may be able to help us stay in place for a period of time as we await the response from those who are trying to help us find a place to stay, we would be most grateful. 🙏🏽We will send a detailed message to those who have most recently reached out or provided any response to our updates to elaborate on this.

We plead with you as the season changes and winter approaches to find it in your heart to please continue to share our family's campaign. While it may be too much for any one person to help, a lot of people will to help a little could literally be life changing.

P. S. Please help us to lift up those the Lord has sent to us, in prayer; those who have been facing challenges in different areas, those who are awaiting answers or miracles, those in need of healing and hope, those recovering from ailments and conditions, those who are worrying or struggling in any aspect. We thank God for them, we thank you. 🤍

Good morning,

I wanted to publicly thank the two people who reached out to us yesterday to help our daughter. All I can humbly say right now is thank you. 🫂

I want to say more. But yesterday was a very hard day. 💔 We were dealing with trying to figure out her care, and at the same time, the enemy was busy attacking us in ways that I'm beginning to realize a lot of believers don't truly believe in. How do you explain something you know to someone who doesn't? 

I'm sobbing in the bathroom as I write this update, as my family rests. There's so much I want to say, and so much of it that I have said so many times. But that's why it's easier to speak than it is to read what can feel like a long rant. 😞

I wanted to share this, that there is a group of three solid people right now, who have responded to us in the last week. We are trying to find a place to land, even temporarily, so that we can better work on things. We are making a plan to reach out to a few other people so that we may be able to collaborate on a solid plan with consideration to the specifics of our circumstances. We are awaiting responses, and we will update when there is more to share. 

I want to respond further, and I will. But I'm so tired of being misunderstood. 💔 So I need to allow Yeshua to speak to me and give me the words I need so that it makes sense. Because He knows. He knows what's in my heart, He sees my family. 

Remember that the One you believe in knows me, made me. And He cares most of all. Things could be worse than they are, and He has kept us. And through you also who have been here. 🫂

The two people who reached out to offer support yesterday donated $80 and $150. We could not have gotten medicine or food on our own yesterday, and after the difficult day we had yesterday, we would not have the safety and rest here today. I pray you will accept my gratitude on behalf of all of us. 

I'm broken today. But I'll be praying, for us all. So if you're reading this today, that's you, too. And I hope you're okay. 🫂

Talk soon.

Here are some interesting facts.

The odds of meeting someone on Earth are very low, around 0.000375%. This is based on the assumption that the world population is 8 billion, and a person meets one new person per day over an 80-year lifespan. 

 (My great grandmother lived to be 103. I met her for the first time on that birthday, when I was 8 years old.)

Here are some other odds related to meeting people:

Finding a partner:

If you choose someone at random, the odds of them being your perfect match are about 1%. 

Finding a soulmate:

If there are half a billion potential soulmates, the odds of finding your true love are about 1 in 10,000. 

Finding a doppelgänger:

With a population of about 8 billion people, the odds of having a "twin stranger" are about 0.11%. 

Sharing a birthday:

The odds of two people sharing a birthday are about 1 in 365, not accounting for leap years and uneven distribution of birthdays. "

 (My father-in-law passed two days before my birthday in 2015, when our first daughter was ten months old and just starting to walk; my husband's best friend passed on my birthday soon after covid.)

The odds of being born are estimated to be 1 in 400 trillion. This is due to a number of factors, including:

Fertility: A fertile woman has about 100,000 viable eggs, while a man can produce about 12 trillion sperm over his reproductive lifetime.

Genetic uniqueness: Each egg and sperm is genetically unique due to meiosis.

Chance meeting: The odds of two people meeting and starting a relationship that leads to children are low. 

The odds of being alive are estimated to be 1 in 102,685,000. This is similar to rolling 2 million dice, each with one trillion sides, and having them all land on the same number. 

Having Twins:

 The chances of naturally conceiving twins are relatively low, occurring in about 1 in every 250 pregnancies; meaning most people have a less than 1% chance of having twins; and for identical twins, 3–4 in every 1,000 births.

I am so much in awe of my God, and thankful for His mercy. Today, I'm starting there. 🙏🏽

Selah. 🤍

Hi,

I hesitated to make this update publicly, but we have reached out to people privately, and I am still sharing so much of what we're dealing with publicly so that people can know just what we're going through. 

Our oldest has an infection that has spread due to the covid infection we are recovering from, and it is now imperative that we make an urgent care or Telehealth appointment. It can no longer wait. 😟

The nearest urgent care is maybe a twenty minute drive away, and every time we are forced to drive it is a risk. I have already found a pediatric group that will write a prescription online, but we would have to cover the membership and appointment fee and that for the prescription itself.

If anyone seeing this is able to provide immediate support, please consider helping. If you share your email or number with us, we can send proof of the payments made. 

We still very much need to figure things out as they are, even for food today and the room tomorrow. But this is urgent, and it cannot be ignored. 

I'm praying with everything in me for the people we have reached out to this week to respond to our pleas. 😞💔

Thank you to anyone continuing to share our campaign or intercede with others in our behalf. We love you in Him. 🫂

Good morning,

It has been some time since I have been able to sit and make sense of my thoughts to be able to make a detailed update. Today, I will try my best to do just that.

I still do not know who is reading our updates, or if our campaign is being shared. I very much want to again thank the kind people who have reached out and made donations as we have tried to update, (thank you also to the person who made a $15 donation yesterday, also. 🤍) We truly appreciate your support, your prayers, and your kind words. 🫂 Each donation made via the campaign has a 72 hour waiting period before it can be requested; afterwards, the request must be approved for the funds to be released, which is then usually 5-10 business days depending on the day of the week that the request is approved.

We have used the last of our funds covering the room, and we would not have been able to do so without the help we received. 🫂

We are all still sick, but it has triggered other health concerns, and we are worried. 😔 We don't want to be, but not worrying is easier said than done.

Someone we have been in talks with is trying to assist with resources, but we are awaiting a response. We have continued to include some of you in our attempts to contact other pastors and organizations, and I thank you sincerely for allowing this, as well as for your witness as we try to seek their aid in our circumstances.

It is already cold out, and that alone is a concern, as we try to navigate our next steps after this letdown regarding the camper, and Anita Schupman stealing our deposit. It really has placed us in a worse position than we were. Our vehicle is still up for collateral as well, as well as everything else there is to deal with regarding the specifics of our situation.

We have not given up hope, but we are so tired, and we are crushed, heartbroken and confused. 💔

Please, continue to share our campaign. 🙏🏽

Thank you for every single person who is still here, wherever you are, from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you, to the people who donated $23 and $20 today. We are grateful for your help. 🫂🙏🏽🤍

Thank you, to the three people who's kind donations via the campaign yesterday/today raised a $55 total. We are thankful for your help. 🫂

Good morning brothers and sisters in Christ,

We hope you are well. Thank you, to anyone who may be reading this update today. 🙏🏽

Just when we thought we were in the process of recovering from this virus, there has been regression. 😟 At the same time, we are currently still in Indianapolis, and we have been greatly affected by the concert when it has come to covering the hotel. We had to change hotels multiple times, experienced poor treatment and racism at one location, we made a reservation for a room that was given to concert goers, and we had a reservation cancelled. All while dealing with being sick and our kiddos having fevers. And other issues with my health making things that much more difficult. 😔 We'd hoped to make plans to make a long drive to relocate with a temporary place to stay, as we had updated previously, but there has been no further mention of this, and we may have to prepare to formulate a new plan. 🤞🏽

While that is disheartening and extremely stressful and exhausting, (and that is okay) we are still very much grateful to be safe, and to have people in our corner that the Lord has sent. And we are remaining hopeful that a blessing is just on the horizon soon.🤍

I wanted to share that yesterday, we did make contact with a small (less than 5) group of family in Christ— who not only made the time to listen to us as we shared our lives and our current circumstances, but offered to do what they can to reach out to others in their lives who may be willing to help, and to try to help us to formulate a plan. Something that will help to change things for the better. Of course, this does not change things overnight, (this is going to take at least the next several days, if not more, as we are not on our own time; and the people offering help are trying to reach out to others). But our needs are the same as we have expressed. 🤍

Most recently, there have been two people to reach out since our last update, and people who have been walking with us through this. But if anyone who's been following or receives this message is able to offer support in any way, or if you would like to know more, please send us a message. 🙏🏽

We will be okay the next few days, but honestly, soon, we will very much be in need of help, and we are truly grateful for anyone who may feel led to be here. If you do, we will update here to share the help received. 🫂

Thank you, wholeheartedly.

We found this today in a Goodwill. I just wish we could have bought it. 

The Lord always speaks. 

We don't always hear Him. 

But when you're trying to hear Him and you can't, sometimes He'll show you a sign. 

You'll never miss it—as long as you're looking for it.

Revelation 20:1-3 : "And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time."

Genesis 3:15 : "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

Hi,

I would like to thank anyone who may be reading this update. 🙏🏽

The last two days have been very hectic. 

We will be making an update soon.

Thank you to anyone still praying and checking in on us. 

God bless you.

🫂

Good afternoon,

Blessings to anyone reading this update today. 

I apologize for the delay in updates. We've found we seem to have more than the common cold, and it's been a bit rough on us all, to be honest. ☹️ But we're hanging in there. 

We are grateful to have our room reserved until Friday 🙏🏽 —especially with the upcoming Taylor Swift concert (NOV 1-3) as the hotel prices are skyrocketing, and the lower cost options are selling out. 😞 (If you find this unbelievable, try searching Indianapolis. Some places are getting to be almost $300 a day). 

We had shared that we would be traveling to stay temporarily with brother Flores, but he has not responded in this regard, and so we cannot speak to this. But we do have some good news we can share.

Today, a (very) small group of people has made contact to speak in regards to our situation, and to see how they can help. 🤍 We have been trying to bridge communication for over a month. I do not want to share too much detail at this time, but we will be glad to follow up when we can. We will be meeting next week, and we are truly looking forward to it.

We are alright the next couple days, but if anyone may be able to offer any support, we would be thankful. 🙏🏽

We thank everyone who is continuing to pray for us, and the couple people continuing to reach out to check on us. It means so much.

God bless you and keep you safe, each and every one.

🫂

We will update soon.

Hi,

I wanted to take a moment to make a quick update.

First, we would like to thank the two people who reached out to check on us today, and the person who sent us a $50 donation. We thank you so much for your help. 🫂🙏🏽 I know it is not difficult to send 2 separate messages, but making one post here will be easiest, because we are juggling a lot. 😕 

Our kiddos have been sick and feverish the last few days, and now it's all of them. We have been tending to them around the clock, and I am showing signs of catching their germs. 😞

There were issues with the last hotel, where we'd been since our last update. And this may very well be where we got sick. There was no working Internet connection, and we could not get signal there at all the entire stay pretty much. There is more that can be said, but the short of it is that we relocated.

We are only just getting to our destination safely, and again my husband and I haven't slept, now paired with getting sick. 😟

We would like to say thank you in advance to anyone who may read this or feel led to reach out, and we ask in kind that you please allow us time to respond. 🙏🏽

We thank each and every one of you who are keeping us in prayer. 🤍

God's love to each and every one of you. 🫂

Good morning,

We wanted to share an update:

After trying (and failing) to get a resolution from PayPal for the funds that were stolen from us, we have escalated the issue with our banks; while things will be a process with my bank, (for the portion of deposit for the camper that was paid using my account) my husband has Chase Bank thankfully —and they are currently in the process of trying to recover the portion of the deposit that was paid from his account, as of this morning. Now, we will just have to remain in place for a few days to ensure we receive the new bank card. (And the hotel is selling out fast).🙏🏽

At the same time, we are also just under a week from receiving the paycheck we're anticipating, and the allocation of these funds will allow us to make our next move. 

If there may be anyone following who is able to offer any support to help us maintain until then, we would be most grateful.

Things have been challenging, and this comes as such wonderful news for us and turning of the tide in our favor!  

We thank you in advance if you are able to help. God bless you, each and every one.

Thank you, to the person who sent us $60 this morning before we could finish posting this message. 🙏🏽We will be able to put this towards maintaining the room tomorrow. 🤍

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

We pray you are well. 🤍

Today was a whirlwind of things, and certainly some kind of test, which we managed with integrity and self-control. 😮‍💨

After midnight, we made a $120 cash payment to the man working the front desk, to secure our room. We paid in cash yesterday also, as they suggested and willingly accepted a lower rate in cash for the room as opposed to the higher online rate. We were told everything was fine, and we had not had any prior issues. 

 At around 5AM this morning, the same man opened our room while our children were sleeping and I was showering —startling and terrifying our oldest, who was then wide-awake. 😥 My husband got it on video. While there is absolutely no reasoning for this, the worker (and the manager) would claim that he was trying to refund us the money we paid for the room, (that we were told was secured) and asked us to leave because they said the hotel was booked out. He also then tried pushing it under the door. We requested to speak to the manager, and we contacted Choice hotels.

A few hours later, the hotel manager showed up, and as he crossed paths with my husband in the hallway, he ran towards him, grabbed him, and tried to shove him into the elevator.

In short, they eventually admitted to their wrong doing, (after nearly two hours of them denying, and then trying to keep our funds).The manager then told us that if we didn't call to complain, he would allow us until 1:30 PM to check out. 

We then spent the entire morning on the phone with Choice, and trying to find another hotel. (In addition to an upcoming Taylor Swift concert, there is some sort of convention happening, and the nearest areas did not have rooms available). 

Choice did find and book us a room, and we had to relocate. We checked out around 1 in the afternoon, and headed out after re-arranging the truck. Our gas was low, and after adding $15 for gas to make the drive, we started on our way. But there's currently construction, and every exit near where we needed to get off the highway, was closed. This happened literally five times. 😑 Once our gps gave directions that actually made sense, there was a semi in a ditch that caused another detour. All this more than doubled what should have only been a twenty-so minute trip, and we made it, almost out of gas. 🙏🏽

While we are grateful to be safe, the area is more dangerous and the room itself is not the cleanest...(We are not snobs, as in our situation, we are thankful to be at places without pests or mold, and with a roof over our heads to begin with). But the sky is blue and the grass is green. We have to clean it up a bit. There is no TV, fridge or microwave. But the woman at the front desk was kind to offer the kitchen area microwave for us to use in our room, and we cleaned it out.

I wanted to try to update everyone at once, and I don't even know that my writing conveys just how challenging things were. We are all so exhausted. 😔 I've had a horrible migraine, and chest pain almost all day. We laid down for a nap earlier in the afternoon, and we awoke just a few hours ago. 

We're waiting on brother Flores to respond so we can formulate a plan to make this 14 hour drive towards him. 🙏🏽 Our plan is to first head to Illinois to try to renew our IDs, (we would be there maybe 2-3 days max) and if we are able to raise the funds, registering our vehicle to ensure we won't have any issues making such a long drive. We are one week off from the paycheck we are anticipating, and we are hoping to be able to use these funds to cover our needs for the trip, to put towards our vehicle registration, (which is roughly $500 for registration, plates, stickers) or to keep us afloat in a new state (with gas, groceries and necessities, etc.) when we arrive to brother Flores and his family's location. Once there, he has a relative who has resources in regards to finding campers and such, and we will be trying to save our funds to purchase one there, so that we can finally move onward from that point. We would also be better able to pursue recovering the loan funds that were stolen from us, with his help. While we have prayed that Anita would be honest and return them, that has not happened. 😞 And she has taken to social media to claim otherwise, publicly, (which is why we have been candid about the situation here also) and it has caused other issues. 

We are so thankful for the help of those who have reached out, and who are keeping in tune with us. 🤍 For those who have been prayerful, kind, loving, and understanding. 🫂 We have ensured to maintain the room, and there are things beyond this, like not having a washer and dryer in the hotels, (or a nearby laundromat) washing our clothes by hand, having well-worn shoes and items, and needing to renew our homeschool memberships for the year. 🙁 We're just pushing through. 🙏🏽 

There is no doubt the Lord has kept us overall, and especially today. 

Tonight, we are grateful to be safe, and we are so thankful for each of you that has been here for us.

God bless you, each and every one.

🫂

P.S. Thank you to the four people who sent us a combined $440 on Monday, which has helped us cover our hotel when the rates went up, food, and a few days insurance. 🙏🏽. Thank you to those two who followed up on yesterday, with a combined $70, (which helped us remain at $100 to be able to pay the refundable room deposit at our check in today) to the person who made a $20 donation via the campaign, and to the person who sent us $20 this morning that helped cover the gas we needed to be able to relocate today. We thank you each of you, from the bottom of our hearts. 🫂

Good evening,

It has been a very exhausting last two days of being awake and trying to figure things out following things falling through with Brandon and the camper. 💔😔 And we are still so very exhausted, even after a much needed rest.

We are also thankful, and we appreciate your patience for this update. 🙏🏽

Thank you so very much to the four people who reached out today, who sent messages and kind prayers, and offered support for the room. 🫂 (We handled things just after 1.)

We will provide a more in-depth update tomorrow. 🤍

Please be safe, be well, wherever you are. God bless and cover you, each and every one. Good night to you all. 🤍

Psalm 4:8 "In peace I will lie down and sleep,

    for You alone, Lord,

    make me dwell in safety."

Good Morning brothers and sisters, we haven't slept at all tonight... We haven't had any help come through at this point and we are completely out of funds. We are praying someone reaches out to help. We honestly do not know where we will go or what to do by 12:30pm. 😥 To those who have, please stay in touch with us, 🙏🏽 we're worried for the girls and and praying that the Lord brings provision soon. We are exhausted from being awake all night making posts and trying to reach out. We are so tired .... 😞💔

Welp, at the series of the most unfortunate events that have unfolded within the last 2 months or so, we are completely devastated and broken….

Unless Anita Schupman decides to send our money back, which I don’t see happening anytime soon, we are completely without any finances.

This “donated camper” never came through, let’s just leave it at that….. Wasted over $700 staying in a hotel waiting on a word for a camper that never came through…. 

And so now, we have decided to go stay with the pastor for a while to get our grounding. 

We have spoken with him tonight, Brother Flores, and unless anything miraculous unfolds, that is our destination.

He has a home, with a wife and daughter and welcomes us with open arms…. He is going to let us crash there for as long as it takes to either get into a rental or a camper…

He is a 14 hour drive from us.

That is our plan…. Enough is Enough…. 💯

We still have messages to send to the people who have helped us most recently, and we are grateful for your witness. We thank you for keeping us safe. 🙏🏽 I'm currently compiling a PDF of our communication with Brandon, as well as our experiences at the hotels. I will be updating some details here, though we will only be disclosing details of our relocation with the few people who have offered support recently. 🙏🏽 This is best for our family and the safety of our children. We are thankful for our family in Christ. 🫂

A 14 hour drive is a long one. But it will mean an opportunity. It would be absolutely best for us to try to formulate a plan to return to Illinois for our Identification, and registering our vehicle. We could at least be on the way to receiving our documents, in 2-3 days. We should also try to get a tune-up; and if not, we want to at least try to have someone take a look at our truck, as there have been a couple small things we have noticed, like a slight smoking.

This would be the most wise with so much at stake making a long trip such as this.

We would be thankful for any support.

If you may be willing to help us coordinate this plan with brother Flores, please send us a message here or by email: newbeginnings0244@gmail.com.

We thank you.

Good evening,

I wanted to share something very vulnerable today.

Originally, I debated it. But because I am asking for brothers and sisters in Christ to intercede for my family—but also for me, in prayer—here I am, embarrassing myself in front of the world, again. 

😔

Have you ever seen the movie Moana? (Let's not get into the secular debate, just bear with me please). 

There is a very emotional scene, after she and Maui try to take on Te'Ka; Moana takes a risk that badly destroys Maui's hook...and nearly kills them both. When Maui abandons her on her tiny boat in the middle of what seems like an endless sea, with a whisper, Moana pleads to the ocean, (who'd chosen her as a child to be the one to save her people) "You have to choose someone else. 😥Choose someone else.... please." 😞💔

https://youtu.be/kz55uy7ZMDI?feature=shared

I have been feeling like this a lot lately. 😞 I have been trying so very hard to pray against it, I have been crying out to God and pleading with people to understand, but I have found myself asking God to release me from this burden, that He has chosen this time in my life. And I know it's wrong. 💔

I'm just so tired, and so very heartbroken. 

If there was a stop, a station, where I could wait for Him to come get me, I would wait there for Him to bring me home. 😔

Just before I chose to make this post, I came across an article, "The Saddest Story In The Bible". It was written in 2017 by Bobby Harrell. want to share it here, because I fully realize I am not the only person who feels the way I do. And maybe it will be helpful to share this with someone else. If you choose to read it, I hope it blesses you. 🙏🏽

"There is a story found in the Gospel of Matthew 19:16-22 that is the most heartbreaking story in all of scripture. It tells the story of a young man who is very wealthy and “wants” to have eternal life. It is important to point out that this story is not a parable, but instead an actual historical event.

There is a young man who sees Jesus and decides to ask him a question… “What good deed must I do to have eternal life?” Jesus responds quite simply… “Keep the commandments.” Next, the young man responds the same way so many of us respond to the requests of God… “Which ones?”

Really!? Which ones!?

In this moment, this man is trying to determine what things he must adhere to and what things he can get away with… I am sure we have all done this at some point in time. i.e. We decide to get healthy and instead of looking at our schedule and asking how much we can exercise, we instead ask how much do we have to exercise? It is so easy to search for the easy path to success, but often the easy paths simply lead to wandering and don’t call us to higher ground.

Jesus was kind and began to tell him some of the commandments that he must keep… Don’t murder, don’t commit adultery, don’t steal, honor your father and mother and love your neighbor as yourself. It’s important to note that the commandments Jesus specifies that he must keep are all the commandments that deal with the way we treat others. 

The man gets excited for a moment, exclaiming, “I have kept all of these!” However, something in him knew this wasn’t enough. He knew what he was doing to this point wasn’t enough, otherwise, he would have never approached Jesus to ask the question. So he follows up with one more question…

: "What else must I do?”

Jesus’ response was simple, yet at the same time heavy. Jesus says, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

This is where most people tune out… here we go, it’s the money talk again… However, I really think this passage has little to do with money and everything to do with our heart. The man decides that this request is too much and the Bible says he walks away sad.

Heartbreaking. Devastating. Unbelievable.

Why is this the saddest passage in the bible? Jesus extends an opportunity to this man that at the time was only extended to 12 other men. Jesus says, “FOLLOW ME!” This invitation had been given to Peter and Andrew and James and John at the boat, Levi at the tax collector’s booth and Philip on a journey. The Bible does not show Jesus throwing this phrase out often, but he does speak to the magnitude of what it means. Deny yourself and follow Jesus.

This was too much and in this moment, this young man decides he would rather keep his stuff than trust in Jesus. Keep his status, rather than letting Jesus establish a new status. He could have been a disciple… maybe even as close as the 12, but instead he said “no.”

So what does this mean to us today?

If you are a follower of Jesus, he expects us to put Him first. Always. Read the gospel of Luke chapter 14 fo more insight.

The Bible says that the young guy went away sad because he had a lot of stuff. I would say he didn’t really have anything at all, but instead, a lot of his stuff had him. It’s okay to have stuff, just don’t let stuff have you. It’s okay to own things but don’t let things own your heart. Our heart should belong to Jesus. Period.

We should check the status of our heart often. Sometimes it is easy to start a journey with the purest intentions, but lose our way over time. Is God still your biggest priority? Would you give up everything for Him all over again?

This guy had so much stuff that I am sure it was scary to ever consider a life without it. To put his security in Jesus was too big of a leap for him, but this is exactly what Jesus wants from us. He is our source, not your job, nor your boss, nor your family, or anything else. Anytime we allow something or someone else to take the place that Jesus is designed to inhabit in our life is the time we have created an idol and Jesus is no longer Lord… this makes Him simply an accent…

The most important thing to remember is that Jesus came so he could extend the invitation of following Him to all of humanity. He is saying “follow me” to you and me today. Will you accept his invitation or walk away sad?"

So, in a time where people are trying their hardest to cling to hope, where people are turning to the church and God's people for help...In a time where pastors and leaders, prophets and teachers have time for digital tables and platforms but not a moment to spare for God's people, I'm still clinging to the One True God who pulled me out of the muck, who has saved me, time and again. 

Because that's all there is, and those who truly know Him, know this.

Nothing else matters.

I hope the article blesses you, and I hope you too will remain encouraged. Sending a big hug to each and every one who needs it.

I'll be praying for you.

🫂

Thank you so very much, to the person who reached out to check on us today, and who sent us $150 to cover the $100 refundable deposit to book the hotel and for gas and food. 🤍

We are so thankful for your help. Thank you for praying for us, thank you for being here.

Good afternoon,

If you or someone you may know has a home or apartment for rent, is selling a camper, (or you know someone who is) or has connections to someone who builds tiny homes, please send us a message. We would be thankful to communicate. 🤍

God bless you, everyone.

Hi,

Yesterday was our last day at the hotel.

We have points we can use to cover the next two days at a different hotel, but it's 18 miles away, and we do not have gas or the refundable deposit for the room. The last hotel, where we were charged a refundable $50 deposit, did not provide it after we checked out —and after we complained to the hotel manager about some of the activity that we witnessed on the premises, which included illicit solicitation, and a woman claiming to have found a camera in her room; (to name only a couple things) all of which was reported and we will forward proof of the emails and photos to the very few people keeping in tune with us. This has to be shared, and is just another heavy part of what we have experienced following Anita's actions. While we kept this information private originally, we are now sharing that this woman is the aunt of recording artist Jelly Roll. While they have received word of what happened, we were told that they simply "don't believe (Anita) would do such a thing to children or a family". At the same time, they have both ignored and erased our comments where we have tried to show proof. In no way are they personally responsible for her actions, but it hurts to be ignored when they do acknowledge other people, and we have received threats from fans and people who know them for sharing our side of things. 😔

We do have screenshots we would like to share about our interaction with Brandon; but there are so many, and we can only upload one here at a time. In short, despite him finally providing a response Thursday, he'd said he would call us yesterday, but he didn't. And while we hoped, we honestly didn't expect him to.

We also have not been given a solution from PayPal regarding the loan funds that were stolen from us by Anita, though we have again requested an appeal to the decision that was made to reverse our funds to her account.

And we are in a bad place. 

😔

I want to write more, but I honestly don't know what to say. 🖤😞

Thank you for anyone who may reach out.

We're truly grateful for any help. Please.

Sincerely. 🫂

On the phone with PayPal again.

What is done in the dark will be brought to light.

This wasn't done to us, it was done to our babies. 

God sees everything, and I pray this woman repents for stealing $2,700 from our children, and for lying and trying to kick dirt on our names. 

And I pray He opens the eyes of the person who vouched for her. Because that was the final reason that we sent her the deposit to begin with. We have already shown all the evidence. We posted the call from PayPal.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

This is still affecting everything. 

Our children may mean nothing to them. But they are everything to us. We have done everything to try to make things better for them. And what has been done was not done to us, but to THEM. God's precious children.

We are beyond heartbroken.

Hi,

I'm sorry that we are just getting to make this post. Our phone is off.

If anyone may have tried to reach us, we are unable to call or send any messages.

We'd shared for days that we have been waiting to hear word from Brandon. This is his last message, after days of providing nearly no response.

If you're so busy of a person that you are unable to look at your phone, receive our messages and provide a response, why would you need to turn off your notifications? And how do you do so after extending yourself and offering to help our children, our family, and knowing we have been awaiting your response? Especially when we last told you were were on the road? 🧐 There is a reason I did not share updates about Brandon despite us being in contact for at least a week. I told my husband I was wary of this person, but we gave him the benefit of the doubt.

But people are...people. For lack of a better word.

Again, this person reached out to US. 

NOT the other way around.

There is a reason we have asked people to speak on the phone. There is a reason we have asked for help to share our campaign.

This is literally ridiculous at this point.

But people still don't have all the information.

Because they are unwilling to speak.

We have not been dishonest. We have tried our best to be transparent. And we cannot control other people being dishonest.

I'm sick and numb at this point. And I'm tired of being made to look like something I'm not, meanwhile trying to remain Christ -like in dealing with people that I have been unable to speak about in detail, who are the complete opposite.

The truth will be made known.

We will make a better detailed post when we are able. 

Today, we are safe, and only because of the people who have helped it to be so. 

Thank you.

💔

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to the three people who reached out to us today. To the two people who sent $120 to help us with our room and food today as we wait to get news on the camper pickup information.

And to the kind, incredibly generous person who donated $700 to our PayPal. But we shared many days ago that our account was overdrawn by $300, after PayPal reversed what should have been our refund ($2,700) to Anita. 😟💔

I am sobbing. 😥😔😞

We made a police report. We made an IC3 gov report. We have contacted PayPal numerous times and provided all the screenshots. (More than 50). We reported Anita for fraud on PayPal and Cash App. We pleaded with her to return the money. We will be pressing charges. We don't know what else we can do to fix this, and we are completely crushed.

If anyone has any advice, please reach out. We can forward you the proof we have if you may be willing to help. Maybe someone knows something we have not tried in trying to fix things with PayPal. 

We don't know what else to do. 

💔

You can message us here, email us at newbeginnings0244@gmail.com, or we can speak.

Thank you, to everyone still praying for us. 

This hurts. 

And to the person who blessed us today, I'm so sorry that you didn't see our updates. 😔

God, help us to realize that we live in spiritual warfare. Remind us that the battle is not ours, but Yours, and You have already won. Lord, please help us today, to live and to see with our spiritual eyes. Not just today, but every day. God, help us to realize there is an unseen world around us right now, even as we pray, and it’s part of the reason we pray. Help us to live in the light, in the spiritual power You have put in us, by Your name, by Your breath, in light of Your Holy Spirit inside of us who trust in You. In the name of your son, Christ Yeshua, I humbly pray. Amen. 🫂

The camper that is being donated to our family is a (gently) used, well-cared for newer model. Brand new, it had a hefty price tag of $28,000. It is more than a blessing.

That is 7 times the amount of the loan that the Lord touched brother Flores to help us get, in an attempt to purchase a camper from Anita that we were told cost $4,000—which we never received, and we are still trying to receive the $2,700 deposit we paid that she scammed us out of. 

We have provided PayPal more than enough evidence and more than 50 screenshots of more than a month of consistent communication; as well as proof of text messages where Anita said she was unable to refund us via Cash App and that she would do so via PayPal. (The attached screenshot is a small portion of the message I sent her via PayPal addressing the issue). Because she chose to send our refund through goods and services and file a false claim to keep the funds, it has been more than difficult for us to recover the funds we are rightly owed. And it has made it difficult for us to have means to acquire the camper that we have been chosen to receive. 😟

She meant it for bad, but God is just and He meant it for good. 

Today, I will be creating a Twitter account in hopes to contact the people who own PayPal; as it is a public company owned by shareholders. 

I have been a PayPal customer for years, and never in my life have I abused their platform, nor experienced being taken advantage of by someone who is misusing it. Even the PayPal supervisor was shocked by what happened. It took us more than 20 phone calls to even speak to a representative/supervisor that was willing to help rather than telling us there's nothing they can do; But even the supervisor we have been blessed to have trying to help resolve this issue, expressed that, based on a technicality, they are unable to do so. 

That should not be when we are able to prove how we were taken advantage of. And it's more than frustrating.

I do not expect to receive a response, but I am praying that we will, because our family needed those funds, and it has complicated absolutely everything. 😔

I will share the information here, and I hope that anyone who sees it may be willing to share it. 🙏🏽

Thank you, and God bless you, each and every one. 🤍

Please refrain from sending any funds to our PayPal in this time. But anyone willing to offer support can send them via Cash App and Venmo. We can also share the screenshots we have sent to PayPal, and we will update any support received. 🙏🏽

Good morning,

We wanted to share this update with anyone who may still be checking in on us:

Brother Brandon got back to us last night; He wants to be able to deliver the camper to us, but he is unable to. 🙁 We will have to be able to pay the delivery fee—or make the long drive (10 hours) to pick it up.

We're willing to go get it, we absolutely cannot miss out on this camper. And we would be driving non-stop to get there.

Our family needs this home, we cannot miss out on this opportunity. 🥺

If anyone may be able to help us to make this happen, we would be deeply grateful for your support.

If you may be willing to contribute to gas to make the trip, or in any other way, please reach out to us, as soon as you are able. 

Please. 🙏🏽

We thank you in advance.

God bless you. 🫂

9:30PM:

Good evening to anyone reading this post.

We would like to thank the person who sent us $60 towards gas and food so that we would be able to make it to the hotel. 🙏🏽🤍🫂

There was construction, and after initially going the wrong way, we were forced to make a detour. We only just got to our hotel, after first getting gas and stopping to get McDonald's for the kids. While the room is covered until Monday due to our points, the front desk is requesting a refundable $50 fee upon check-in, and we are not able to cover it. So we cannot check into the hotel. 😟

Please, if you see this and are able to help, please send us a message. 

🙏🏽

Thank you.

10:15PM: Thank you to the kind soul who sent us $55 to cover the refundable fee. We are more than grateful.  🤍

Hi,

I wanted to share that we have checked out of the hotel where we were staying.

We were fortunate to be able to make a reservation at a different hotel for the next two days using the points we have accumulated, but it's about 35 miles away from where we are currently. While the room is already booked, we do not have means to get there, we have no gas. We could use $40-50 to cover gas and food, and we would be thankful if anyone may be willing to help. 🙏🏽 We're currently sitting in a parking lot until we are able to make any movement.

Aside from the hotel we're leaving being booked out and the rates increasing significantly, they were very rude. Yesterday, when we had to check out (before we checked back in) we'd packed all our belongings. In short, they accused us of taking their blankets, which we had not, as we came with two of our own. The same person who did this yesterday did the same today, and proceeded to start an argument. I tried explaining to her that there are two blankets in the room we checked out of, and we are holding two. So how are we being accused of taking their blankets, when there four blankets altogether? Because they were threatening to call the police on us, we gave these people OUR blankets just to be done and avoid an unnecessary issues. Only for them to come outside ten minutes later and return the blankets (though they switched one)  that we had already told them were ours. 

😐

😮‍💨

In other news, we do have an update about the camper our family has been selected to receive. Brother Brandon reached out to us late yesterday evening and shared some news. We have been unable to raise the funds we need cover the $625 fee to have the donated camper delivered directly to us. Unfortunately, that could put us in a place where we could miss out on it altogether, as the delivery fee is paid to the driver to cover the cost of transit, as it is a 10 hour drive to us. The drivers are volunteers, and they do not receive any payment or compensation. To help this happen for our family, brother Brandon has asked permission to use a friend's truck to drive the camper to us himself. He is trying to leave early tomorrow morning, but he will try to deliver it by Monday, because he understands how much we need this for our children.🤍Aside from the volunteer work he does for others, brother Brandon has a family of his own, and we are also aware that one of his elderly relatives is ill. I would like to ask on his family's behalf that you please keep them in prayer. 🤍 We would like to be able to provide him some sort of payment for his willingness to make such a trip to ensure we can receive this camper, as it's a long drive and because of the cost of gas. We hope someone may be willing to help in this regard, as we are still waiting for a resolution with PayPal regarding the loan funds that were stolen by Anita. 

As of late yesterday/early this morning, we filed an online complaint via the IC3 gov site to report Anita for fraud, and in hopes that PayPal may use the evidence we have provided to return the funds we are rightfully owed.

We will continue to make updates as things transpire, and we are thankful for your support. 🫂 

May God bless you, each and every one.

2:30PM Today: Thank you, to the person who donated a total $130 and helped us keep our room. 🫂Thank you is two words I have said, but today I pray for the Lord to reveal my family's gratitude to you. I'm in tears as I write this. I know there is a God to send complete strangers to be our family, our friends. This is not about the money. 💔 Nothing that the Lord has allowed me to have truly belongs to me. I know that it belongs to Him. I humble myself before Him. I try to maintain a grateful heart, I am repentant, and I try to practice forgiveness. At any one point, things could have been different. Only some people know and understand this, or have been following along this far. At any one point, someone could have agreed to rent, or any of the other things that fell through. But things didn't happen that way. And this has been our lives. I wish so bad to be able to have conversations with some people, even some people that were here and since gone.😟 The number of people has been small, and it is not a small thing, the support we have been shown. You have kept us, kept our babies safe. We just want to be safe, to be home. We have come so close. We're so close. 

Please, if you see this today, please share this. Please help it reach more people. We just need a little bit of help now, but maybe a lot of people to share the word. 🙏🏽I just want to go back to our privacy. 😟 I just want to rest. To have better health, to have time with our kids. My (literal) heart has been hurting. 😔We're all so tired. I don't know if people realize our whole day is spent trying to figure things out, however we can. I know people don't see that part. 💔

I wish I could hug every person who has been here. The Lord has kept me in this life, and my heart remains soft. I often find myself at the foot of the Cross, where one day we will all meet. Knowing Christ and trying to be like Him is the hardest thing I have ever done, and He has shown me that many people are doing it wrong. But that's not condemnation for anyone. Those who know Him, they know others in Him. It's a heart posture you adopt, when you are made new in Him. John 17:20-23 comes to mind. "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." 🙏🏽 I have prayed for many of you for long, I keep your families in my heart. 🤍 I know you're going through things, I know there are people praying for healing, praying for miracles in their lives, waiting for God's promises. 🫂We are too. It's been feeling like the world is falling apart, and we just want to be home with our babies—SAFE. 🏡 🙏🏽🤍

While we have multiple needs at this time that add up to our overall ability to restabilize and improve our circumstances, (Like needing to acquire our documents, get a vehicle tune-up, registration, insurance, a Starlink satellite, a generator, park fees, etc. and just gas to start), *Currently, we are trying to raise the $625 delivery fee for the camper being granted to us, and for a few days in the hotel to allow a schedule for delivery. * 

This is because we have yet to have resolution with PayPal after $2,700 of our loan funds were stolen by Anita Schupman for a camper we never received; and the remainder of the total $4,000 loan funds that we had received, exhausted after her false promise of a home for our family.

Good morning family in Christ, and anyone who may be reading this update today. 🤍

While we first attempted to send this message by email to the two people who have reached out to check on us, (the Internet connection is bad and it's still queued) we also felt it would be easier to share it here publicly with anyone who may be following. 🙏🏽

And because we have BIG NEWS. 

We spent much of the day on the phone with PayPal today. (Now yesterday). After being told multiple times a supervisor would call us back, we finally made contact with one with our last call a few hours ago; he reopened the dispute that someone had closed before receiving our police report case number (we will have to wait for a physical copy of the report, but they will be able to work with the case number as they try to have the funds reversed to our account). The supervisor guaranteed to call us again tomorrow to see what further action can be taken. (And if he doesn't, we will call again as we have continued to). But reopening our appeal is the first step. The officer who came out to do the report told us that what Anita has done is considered wire fraud and is a federal crime and after trying to make contact with her again to warn her, we are choosing to press charges because she will not come clean and send the refund. We have a recorded conversation with an agent from PayPal as proof that she did have the funds returned to her account, and that she has already received them, as of October 7th. 

Aside from this, we wanted to share some good news about brother Brandon, and how he is trying to help. We included a screenshot of his initial message when he first reached out about a week ago. After speaking with a couple days ago, he relayed to us that an NGO (non-governmental organization) humanitarian organization has chosen US out of 6 families to donate a new camper to. He has an acquaintance who works for them; he relayed our story to them, showed them the videos and messages and posts of our struggle the last year, (and most recently the situation with Anita) and said they immediately chose us. 🥲🤍When we spoke with him last night, he confirmed the camper is now officially paid for 100% and is ready for delivery. The only hurdle at this point, is to be able to pay the required delivery fee of $625 in hand. The reason for this, is the drivers hired to deliver for this organization are independent and require at least a delivery fee for their services. Again, the camper is reserved for us and now all we have to do is come up with a small delivery fee compared to the price of the camper which is roughly around $28,000 USD. He explained the process and once we can confirm the date of delivery, the driver will head to us; upon delivery, we will exchange the delivery fee ($625) for the title of the camper and we will be the sole owners of the camper. This comes as an amazing blessing in the midst of the attack from the enemy and honestly, has proven and shown us that The Lord is guiding us through the storms by His very own hand. 🤍We are so grateful for Brother Brandon and cannot express how deeply we needed this miracle, even in this moment with Anita Schupman stealing our finances for our home, God has still made a way. The camper is located in St Paul Minnesota, which is about a 10 hour ride from us, which is why the driver would need to be compensated for his time, and gas. Other than that, the camper itself is completely paid for. While we have been told we have the ability to pick it up, it is not at all a feasible option for us to travel such a distance with needing to register our vehicle, and with our car already loaded with what belongings we do have. At least with the camper in tow, we would not only have immediate shelter, but we be heading straight to Illinois so that we can at least begin the process of recovering our documents, renewing our IDs, my business recovering his license, and working towards getting our vehicle properly registered. So we are trying to construct a plan of action to receive the camper. 

We are in a bad place following Anita's actions; we have no finances what so ever, and even once the funds are recovered, we will be planning to repay brother Flores for the loan he helped us to receive. Even still, he is allowing us time to do that, so we are praying that the money may be returned to our account as soon as tomorrow, so we can utilize it to stay in place to receive the camper and for the things we will have to handle immediately afterwards. 🙏🏽 (Vehicle registration /tags, gas and food for returning to Illinois, fees to recover our personal documents, camp ground fees, essentials, like warmer clothes or jackets for the kids, etc.) Our PayPal account is significantly overdrawn after the funds were released to Anita, and as of today, my husband's account is overdrawn after covering our hotel room yesterday. 

Tomorrow, we are due to check out at 11AM. We cannot cover the room, we do not have means to get gas, or food, until we receive the $2,700 that Anita stole from us. The rate for today after tax is $116.

You guys have held on and you have walked this journey with our family. We pray that you and anyone you may have reached out to on our behalf would please be willing to help in any way you may be able, for this final stretch. Without this blessing, we don't know what could possibly be next. This is what we have been praying for. We are eternally grateful for your support, for the sake of our daughters and our family's well-being. 

Please share this message and our campaign with anyone you can. 🙏🏽 We will update any help received. 

We thank you for keeping us in our prayers, and for showing us the love of Christ. This will never be forgotten.

Humbly,

Us.

Good evening,

I'm making this update to share that we filed a police report today against Anita for the $2,700 loan funds that she scammed us out of; after making numerous attempts to contact her directly (she has blocked us from every prior method of contact,) after appealing PayPal's decision to close her fraudulent payment dispute (in which they ruled in her favor and returned the funds in full to her account—which the PayPal agent today verified have since been received—and after being advised to make a police report so that we could provide it to PayPal for evidence. The last thing we would have wanted is any police involvement, with the sensitivity of very circumstances, but we also desperately need the funds we are owed; and the $4,000 in loan funds that brother Flores entrusted us to help us to better our situation and find a home, (funds for which our vehicle are currently being used as collateral for) that are now nearly exhausted, ONLY due to her dishonesty for more than a month. 😞 Funds that we will still have to repay him in the full amount, despite not having the camper we were anticipating purchasing for our family, that was supposed to give our daughters a home. 💔

We have been told that it may take some time for this to be resolved, but we are praying by God it will. 🙏🏽

Today, I humbly ask anyone who may be following our campaign, to please continue to share it, and to keep us in prayers for this issue to be resolved quickly and that our family may have a safe new home. 

If you or anyone you know may be willing to help, please reach out. 🤍

We will update any help or communication received.

Thank you, and God bless you.

Good afternoon,

We wanted to make an initial update to share that we were just able to secure a room today, thanks to the help we received from the two people who reached out yesterday.

Thank you so very much. 

We have to reorganize, tend to the kiddos, and try to figure something out for lunch. 

We will make an update soon.

Thank you in advance to anyone who may feel led to reach out or offer help after our last update. We really do appreciate it. 🫂

God bless you, each and every one.

🤍

7:40PM: Thank you, to the person who reached out this evening and sent a $50 donation. We had zero funds, our PayPal account is now negative $300 after this this situation with Anita. We have no idea where we will go tomorrow, how we will get there. Absolutely every bit does help, and we appreciate your help today. Thank you.🤍

8:20PM: Thank you to the person who reached out to check on us, and sent us $60 to add towards us figuring out tomorrow. Thank you for being here for us.🙏🏽

Here is a screenshot of the message Anita Schupman sent on Friday after sending the refund to PayPal. Confirmation that the $2,700 she sent to my PayPal was supposed to be a refund for the camper she and Roger Harrison never provided. But she sent it via goods and services with the intent to open a dispute case, and they returned the funds we were owed, to her. 

We are now blocked from contacting her by any means.

Sharing this information here publicly, and we are waiting for a call from PayPal. The agent I last spoke to is trying to re-open the case. 

🙏🏽

Good afternoon brothers and sisters in Christ who may be reading this,

We hope you are well.

I am writing to share what has taken place most recently regarding Anita and the camper funds we provided her as a deposit for the camper we'd intended to purchase, and that was promised to us. 

To reiterate things, over a week ago now, we'd made a deposit to her in the amount of $2,700; we were going to then pay $300 more on last Tuesday, the day that it should have been delivered to us, per our agreement. We were told they would then provide the title after receiving the last $1,000. 

But on that very day, the day of the hurricane, (where our own relatives were severely impacted) Anita's brother, Roger (the one in possession of the camper) sent us a text saying that the camper and his Camaro had been stolen. They never provided a police report, and when we insisted they return the funds to us, they delayed doing so. Anita insisted she was having a problem with her bank, and that she would send it back as soon as she was able. She sent us screenshots of failed attempts. 

While we had requested her to send the funds back via Cash App, she did something different. 

Last Friday, she did send $2,700 to us via my PayPal account. But she did so via goods and services. And shortly afterwards, she opened a false dispute case saying that she had sent payment for something that she had not received. To keep us from receiving the funds we were rightly owed. And scamming us.

Funds that we would not have had without the help of brother Flores, the group of people who helped us to raise $1,200 to ensure us being able to receive the camper as soon as possible, and everyone else who has made any contribution whatsoever. 

PayPal asked that I submit any supporting documents, and I sent numerous screenshots of our communication. But as of yesterday evening, they closed the dispute, siding in her favor, and returning the $2,700 to her—and leaving my PayPal account overdrawn by $300. She was never the buyer.

I am still trying to work with PayPal to have them reverse the decision, and I have sent additional screenshots, where she admits to returning the $2,700 to my PayPal account, and where you can she that she blocked us after saying she "wants nothing to do with us ever again." 

At the same time, the 'charm' of the hotel that we had checked into late the other night has long worn off. We were told we wouldn't be able to remain in the room that we checked into, as the general manager said it is normally a higher rate.

Today, less than 5 minutes ago, my husband went outside to check on our vehicle. As he's returning to the room, he sees her standing in front of our room door touching it, trying to look into the peep-hole (which we always plug due to safety, the same way we check for hidden cameras) and saying to herself, "The light's off again." (Again means more than once.) As my husband approaches her she is startled, and then she accuses us of smoking in the room, which we absolutely do not ever do, saying that she can hear a fan running. Mind you, I had just turned on the bath. She then tells him the room rates are tripling this week and there's nothing she can do about it. So now we have to contact corporate, because we should be able to stay here without an issue as we have not made any issues. And God knows we don't want to stay where we are mistreated. We just got here. And our stay is only covered until today.

When I tell you we are tired, tired is not the word. 

😞💔

If anyone is willing to provide any support in this time as we wait for a resolution and try to figure out the next steps, please reach out. We will update any help received. And please continue to share our family's campaign. I offer thanks to the two people I sent screenshots to to prove all this. 

Thank you for anyone who's here for us, sincerely. ✨And God bless and keep you always.

Hi,

I wanted to share a screenshot that I wasn't able to upload to our last update. It further speaks to how we are feeling after what we have experienced, after us purchasing the camper fell through. 

This is a piece conversation we had with Anita after sending her payment for the camper, which I have also sent to PayPal. Where she assured us we had a home. The message that we clung to the weekend before we were told the camper was going to be delivered to us. 💔

We truly cannot wait to be home, wherever it will be. 😞

We thank you for your prayers. 

🫂

Hi,

I hope that you are well. 🤍

I am making this update to share publicly the goings-on as we try to resolve the issue with Anita and Roger regarding the $2,700 we made to them as a deposit for the purchase of the camper. 

For multiple days, we have been told that Anita was having an issue reversing the payment. Because of the issues we ourselves had (and despite the disregard of said issues and rude treatment) we tried to allow her time to help resolve the issue; we also never received a police report to confirm that the camper was, in fact, stolen. After being dodged in multiple attempts to make contact and being blocked online and by phone, we decided it was time to escalate the matter with our banks, and Cash App and PayPal. 

The day after we did so, I received a message from PayPal that she'd send a payment via goods and services in the amount of $2,700; Soon after, she opened a dispute case to try to stop us from receiving the funds that we were rightfully owed—by claiming that she made a purchase from us that she did not receive.

😑

I wish so badly I could upload more than one picture here, but we are willing to share proof with anyone in communication with us. 

In short, the funds are pending, but until they clear, we do not have access to them. And I was informed by PayPal that the soonest they may resolve the issue may be October 14th, and by October 25th at the latest. (I have uploaded a screenshot here.) I have already provided Paypal screenshots of our communication over time, and the agent I spoke with previously will be following up with me tomorrow to confirm receiving the documents. We will also be reporting her for fraud.

We cannot say if there ever was any theft, but after everything else we have experienced, I would hate to think it could happen to someone else. And we are still struggling to find resolve after what's happened.

We are still trying to find a place to live. 😞

With our ID and vehicle situation, it has not been easy for me to find an employer willing to hire me without a valid ID. And the response has been the same when it has come to trying to find places for rent.  (Not to mention that we do not have immediate funds to provide a renter. But it has not stopped us from searching). 

We have also continued to look for campers/travel trailers, so we can anticipate immediately using the $2,700 funds towards this; but it is rare to find them in good condition without physical outside damage or water damage to the interior. 

We are safe, but we only have our room secured until tomorrow, and we have nearly exhausted the $900+ of our income that we had, which we'd originally anticipated putting towards the total purchase of the camper that Anita had offered to sell us. 

While we are still trying to find assistance to come to a resolution, we have not received much response. 

We are very thankful for the help of anyone who has kept us safe, for those continuing to pray and share our campaign. It has been shared 30 times. 🤍 I considered that, because Givesendgo is a Christian platform, that this may have limited the overall reach or affected the visibility of the campaign, in comparison to platforms such as Gofundme. But we are unable to create a Gofundme because of our ID situation, and we have tried to keep the campaign in one place so that it's easier to follow our journey. 

If anyone may be willing to help in any aspect, (sharing our campaign or Tik-Tok, helping us to find a camper/travel trailer, contacting RV manufacturers for a donation, leads in rentals by private owners, help with a mechanic, assistance with the room or food, helping us pay the shipping for a clothing donation we have lined up for the girls, or renewing our HSLDA and homeschool curriculum memberships, etc.) we would be most grateful if you would be willing to reach out. Please email us:✉️ newbeginnings0244@gmail.com🤍

Hi,

I know it's late. But I wanted to make this update (and we're only just getting the chance) to thank the two people who provided a response today; the brother who reached out with a message after our last update earlier, who shared concern and prayers, and the person who made a $20 donation via the campaign. 🫂

We did not need money today, we were not asking. We thank you for your support. We are fortunate to still have enough funds of our income left to manage the next few days, as we wait for the resolution to happen with the funds we are owed from Roger and Anita for the camper that we'd paid. 🙏🏽

We were forced to relocate, and it felt incredibly scary. As much as we try to trust God, it can be so hard when you don't know what His plans are. But He does. Always. 👑

We weren't sure we would be able to secure a room. We were worried about the drive. We prayed the entire way. But we just now made it safe; and I managed to hold myself together until we walked through the door. 💔 I could only break and thank God. Because He is so good, all the time. And so far, (at least, in appearance) it is already better than where we left. And we are so grateful to be safe. 

This whole situation has been so scary for us, for many reasons. Now we realize that it was the Lord forcing us to move from where we were, where it had felt so heavy and uncomfortable for seemingly so long, because it was His plan. And His plan is always better than ours. 🕊️

It's been a very long day, and we just want to rest in our family. 

Thank you so very much for those continuing to pray for us. I fully believe the Lord is listening.

God's love to you. 🫂

If someone sees this today, please reach out.

We do not want to make a public post.

I am begging.

Please.

🙏🏽

😞💔

I have officially been awake at least 18 hours.

When I cannot rest, I find comfort in reading the Word.

Early this morning, I revised Matthew. Today, I'm thinking about chapter 7. I would like to share these words with you that I found in an article:

"(In Matthew 7) Jesus tells His disciples to come to God and ask Him to meet their needs. He begins with a trifold command and response. Ask; seek; knock are met with and it will be given to you; and you will find; and it will be opened to you.

It is easy to presume that asking an authority for help is an inconvenience to them or a rude display of manners on our part. Likewise, it is easy to presume that asking, seeking them out, or approaching their door to knock upon it is a waste of time. We think, "They are not going to give us the time of day." Often, we are correct in our presumptions. Often, we act the same way to those we deem beneath us.

But God is not this way. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened (v 8). God, as our Father who is in heaven, has a tender heart towards His children. He is never angry with us for asking. He is not too busy to be bothered by our requests, however small or large they may be. God is eager to give good gifts to those who ask Him! (v 11). Just as a father loves his own children and wants to be with them, so too does God love us. He is delighted when we seek Him and ask Him for His help. It is too good to be true, and yet God and His grace are both abundant and available (John 1:16)." 

Thanks to the Father, that He is the same yesterday, today and forever. 🤍👑

P.S. To the unknown person who sent us $50 via Venmo yesterday, thank you, for your help and your kindness. And thank you to those still praying for us as we await a resolution. 🙏🏽

Hi,

If you are reading this message, I pray that you are well.

I would first like to apologize for our delay in updates; Not only have we been navigating our own circumstances, but we have been dealing with other things, too. A lot of people have been affected by Hurricane Helene, and the tropical storms. Days ago, when it began, my husband's mom was sharing footage of the flooding on her street in Florida; at that point, she had shared video of her car completely covered in water, and it had gotten so high that she and her partner had to climb the roof of their second story apartment building. She lost absolutely everything. 💔

We waited days to get word that she was alright, and we did not want to make an update before confirming that she is okay. 🙏🏽

Just as I was about to make a lengthy post here, we received different news; While I will be updating it here, God has called me to send a direct email to every person who has offered any support in the process of attempting to purchase the camper, and the last five people who have provided any response to our updates. I'd hesitated doing so, only because I don't know if people know that (while your name can be anonymous) Givesendgo does share the email addresses of donors, with us. There are things we have not been able to speak to, or didn't know how. Aside from financial help, people should know what is going on, and we have screenshots that we have to share. 

DETAILED UPDATE @8PM:

This weekend, we sent Anita $2,700 for the camper. We had been offered an agreement that they would deliver it tomorrow, for $3,000; they'd keep the title until they received the remaining $1,000. So that we could finally get out of the hotels. For our girls. After trying (and failing) to send the payment via PayPal (for protection), my account was locked. Because my state ID recently expired, I cannot fix it. That immediately left the last few hundred dollars we had, unavailable. And it left us feeling pressured to make the payment via Cash App, which we did. This payment was made possible, because of the help of brothers and sisters in Christ, who collectively donated $1,200 on Saturday. $700 of it was paid to the camper yesterday; and a few hundred dollars went to maintaining our hotel room until tomorrow, Tuesday, the day that Roger and agreed to deliver the camper. Because these kind people wanted to help us make it happen. Because they have followed the updates, they have seen when donations are contributed by the campaign that we cannot access them for almost a week, sometimes more. And because we have been waiting for my husband's income, which is just a couple days away. 

But just as I was about to update all of this, we received a text message from Roger just after 9AM that his Camaro and camper were stolen. 

While we cannot speak to that at this time, we are trying to recover the $2,700 we sent them. I am praying for an honest fix, and that we will not have to file a police report. Especially because of our situation, as it is. Not only do we still have to repay the loan funds to brother Flores, but we now still have to find a new camper, or place to call home. 

I cannot say I have always seen "peace that surpasses all understanding". But today, for a moment, I feel close. We can only trust that God sees us, no matter what we are unable to see. I have asked God to guide me, and He has given me calm. I did cry earlier. But we have already been through so much, that I barely reacted. I'm just sad for our daughters. 😔💔

I have learned this, about pride and humility, about money, about charity: While it helps to have finances, what helps more than anything when you're trying to meet a need or contribute to a resolution in a matter such as this, is communication. Time. You have to be willing to connect with the people you are helping. To better understand the need. To properly bridge the gap. And that is a lot like Christ. 🤍

Life truly is so short. And Eternity is for forever. Please treat others with kindness. Know what it means to love others with God's love.

To the people who have been here, thank you. Every single one. 🫂

Currently, we are still trying to find a camper we can purchase. But it is rare to find one in good year and condition for $4,000. Which we do not have. We are still reaching out to churches, and I am trying to follow up with emails I have sent to RV manufacturers. Maybe someone will have the heart to respond. If you may be willing to be a part of these emails or calls, please reach out. Your support may increase the chance of a response. 🙏🏽

If you may feel led to start a Gofundme on behalf of my husband's mom, please send a message so we can talk. In the event that any generous donation is provided via Givesendgo, we will ensure she receives it as she recovers from Hurricane Helene. 🤍

My heart goes out to those and their families who may have been affected by the recent disaster. 💔 Sending heartfelt prayers. 

God love you. 🫂

Talk soon.

"God is our refuge and strength,

    an ever-present help in trouble.

 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way

    and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging."

Psalm 46:1-3

🙏🏽

6PM: Thank you, to the person who made a $100 donation via the campaign. We thank you so much. 🤍

Hi,

I am trying to think of what to write. What words I can say. 

We have come this close, we have been waiting for so long to get to this point. Where a little help would go a long way. 

Trying hard to be faithful. Thankful to anyone keeping us in prayer for Christ's protection.

🫂

"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing."

-- James 1:2-4 

🤍

8AM: Thank you, to the person who made a $90 donation to our campaign. We thank you. 🤍

Hi,

I cannot say how many people are reading these updates, or still keeping my family in prayer. We kindly thank those of you who are. 🤍 While my focus has to be on Christ, I also know that there are people praying against us, and anticipating the worst for us.

All the same, we are so very tired. 

Just days ago, we received the loan funds for the camper. We were just a few hundred dollars short of being able to pay for the camper in full. At minimum, that would provide us immediate refuge and financial relief from the hotel. (That is not including moving forward). Today, we will make payment for our hotel for the second time since the loan, eating further away at the finances. Easily soon to be several hundred dollars short of being able to buy the camper. And we do not have a place to go, anyone we can safely stay with.

This more speaks to the need for this camper to be our home. 

There is a tangible goal. And we are so very close. 

Praying the Lord leads someone willing to reach out. 🤍

Please help us to make the most of this blessing.

🏡

Thank you, and God bless you.

Lamentations 3:22-26:

"Through the Lord 's mercies we are not consumed,

Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning;

Great is Your faithfulness. "The Lord is my portion," says my soul,

"Therefore I hope in Him!" The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,

To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly

For the salvation of the Lord."

Good morning to you,

We are grateful to share that we were fortunate to receive the loan yesterday evening. 🙂

Because I was unable to to receive the funds by wire transfer to my PayPal account, we had no choice but to have them sent to an account that is already overdrawn due to trying to maintain the hotel, and charges and fees because of this. ☹️ And the first thing we did was pay we were owed the hotel for yesterday's stay. 

We are a big step closer to the possibility of purchasing this camper, but we would be grateful for any help with consideration to all that we must handle. And we really do want to make the best of these funds to make it possible. 🙏🏽

We spoke with Anita yesterday; she relayed that her brother would be busy all day today, but that he would give us a call tomorrow to discuss the camper in detail. We just have to be certain that we will be able to make the payment in full.

Today, we were able to secure our room with a free night from our membership points balance. In ten days, we will have just shy of $1,000 of our own income that we can utilize towards this new beginning. Currently, we are reaching out to people and trying to find a place to land temporarily, so we do not have to waste any more funds in the hotel. But we have yet to receive a response. 

So many times we have come so close. This really, truly can be it. Please help us. 🏡

If anyone feels led by the Lord to help, please know how truly grateful we are. 🤍

We can send proof of our current available balance.

Support sent via the campaign is not at all insignificant, and we are more than thankful. Donations made via the campaign may be requested a full 72 hours after they are made. The request must then be approved, and the funds should then be released/received within 7-10 business days. Currently, we still do not have access to the $280 in donations that were made by two contributors last week. 

Any immediate support, which is most effective, can be sent to: 

Cash App: $newjade194

We will update with any help received, and we will share receipts with anyone willing to help.

Thank you, on behalf of our family.

God bless you, each and every one.

🫂🕊️👑

Good afternoon,

I pray that you are well. 🤍

We just wanted to make a quick update for those who are following and offering support.

We wanted to protect the funds when it came to paying Anita's brother for the camper. So to be able to make payment via PayPal, we gave the bank my PayPal account information to receive the loan. But I don't have an actual bank. Just the apps. When you look up PayPal's bank, it's a third party. And PayPal doesn't accept wire transfers. So, the bank did try to send the loan to my account yesterday. But I could not receive it. Today, they have to request the funds to be reversed. Then we have to give brother Flores my husband's account information, even though it's overdrawn. The man on the phone from the bank said that as long as the information is received and processed before the end of the day today, we should then receive the loan funds within 1-2 hours; at which point we can discuss payment and delivery for the camper.

There is so much we have been unable to do; the room has been our priority, to be safe. We have two weeks until we receive my husband's income. If the camper comes through beforehand, we will be able to finally use those funds for something that makes sense. We still have to have a vehicle inspection, to be sure we won't have any issues. (When we updated in July about our battery, that's when we knew for certain it would need looking over.) We will need gas for travel, a generator. When we return to Illinois to try to get our documents, we will have to pay to register our truck. We realize it would be wise to get a Starlink satellite, to ensure we can have working Internet for work and school. And being able to contact others in case of an emergency. But even before all of that, there are basic needs. We wash our clothes by hand, we have needed to get clothes for the girls for some time. There's a woman in Texas who we purchased clothes from last year; she wants to send them three boxes of clothes for free, we just have to pay the shipping. It's all so much. If you have been following our campaign for some time now, we know it's a lot of information. But there's a reason why things have been so complicated, and we are truly nearly at the start of coming to true stability. We tried so hard to find a place to rent, and it didn't happen. I wish I had better words to describe how we feel. 🥺 It's been much more than a headache for us. 😞💔 If this comes through today, our whole tomorrow will be different. 🏡🕊️We have made a plan, it helps to have any help, with any part of it. We really appreciate it. 🤍 Please continue to share our campaign. For the few people holding on with us, thank you, wholeheartedly. ✝️

Thank you very much to the two people who donated $200 and $80 via the campaign in the last 48 hours. May the Lord cover and protect your families, may He be near to you, and bless you abundantly for your kindness. 🫂🤍⛪👑 Donations made via the campaign can be requested 72 hours after the donation is made; once the request is approved, we should then receive the funds within 5-10 business days. 

If anyone may be willing to work directly with the hotel owner to provide help for our stay, please reach us by email: newbeginnings0244@gmail.com. Our daily rate during the week is $84, and $99 on the weekend. Immediate support is most effective, and can be sent to: 

Cash App: $newjade194

We can share receipts with anyone who offers support. 

Today, I'd like to share this Scripture of encouragement: 

"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."

—Ephesians 3:14-19

Thank you, and God bless each and every one. 

🤍

Thank you, to the person who made a $30 donation via the campaign yesterday. And to the brothers who helped us to have phone service to be able to have reliable phone access + groceries ($75) and for help with the room ($205). 

As of today, we are two days behind in payment, and still in danger of having to leave.

Today, we are still anticipating receiving the loan funds, and after communication with the bank, we are expecting it to be today or tomorrow. And we cannot force it. 

There are only a couple people who are communicating in detail, and we are thankful for the witness they bear. There is still no response, from the churches or organizations, or the emails that those have been CC-ed on. There are maybe three people offering any support, and we thank you and pray the Lord's blessings for you all. 

We are so close.

And thank you for those who are praying against demonic forces, ill-wishes, and those who do not mean us well. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but powers and principalities in high places.  Our Lord Yeshua Has Overcome the Gates of and Is Our Protection and Salvation.  Our trust is in The Cross of Christ. 👑

"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire."

Thank you for the help of everyone today, who raised a combined $420. With being two days behind and owing for today, we needed a total of $267 for the last two days. After paying what we owed for the last two days and today, securing tomorrow and groceries, we have $31. We have sent proof of payment to those who helped. 🙏🏽

I am overcome with emotion, and I really don't have the words to convey how thankful we are. Our oldest led us in a beautiful prayer of thanks, and there is now a sense of peace where there was worry. 

Just.... Thank You. 

May Christ Yeshua be near to you all.

🫂

For more than a year, just as I have dug deep into prayer, I have shared my heart and my feelings, and my family's circumstances by way of this campaign. I have written many of these posts alone, as well as with my family in some way shape or form.

Today, I want to share my husband's personal thoughts and feelings, from his point of view. I don't think I could have communicated my own feelings better, and I am grateful to be able to share these words with you:

"I’m constantly in anxiety mode…. I have reached out and communicated with HUNDREDS of people, asking for one simple request. To be able to land somewhere until we buy our camper….. It would have alleviated so much weight, pain and distress that I carry in my chest everyday. It would have given us the chance to save about $30,000+ for our home and our girls stability and future. It would have given us a chance to get all of our legal documents in order and establish ourselves again…. It would have given us the chance to recuperate from the devastating trauma we endured through that illegal eviction…. We still haven’t had the chance to heal…. 💔 I literally feel like I could have a heart attack, that’s not an exaggeration. My chest literally has pain in it. My body aches. My head is foggy. My body is extremely exhausted and weak. I am constantly shaking throughout the day due to anxiety and worry. I try to let it go and trust God, it’s not easy trusting in someone you can’t see… There have been a few people who have extended their help to us, and then backed out. I can’t explain how those moments felt for me, how they literally made me physically ill. Are still making me ill… All of the judgmental words, arrows, and hateful energy. The landlords who rented to someone else over a father with 3 little girls… The manufactured home owner who sold it to someone for $10k instead of the $6k we agreed on for over a week… The lady who was on over 12 reality tv shows suing men for “neglect and abuse” who tried to get me to live in her home without a lease…. 🤦🏽‍♂️ The hotel managers who have been heartless and arrogant…. The guy who tried to sell me a molded out, trash camper…. The family members who have threatened to call DCFS on us because I teach my kids the Bible and scripture… The family members who have told me to “get a job” after explaining how my back is up against the wall with no room for options… The guy who scammed me out of an application fee and my social… Falling behind two days in the hotel knowing the owners wife wants us out… The $30,000- $40,000 we have lost, and could have had a home with, if we only had someone who cared enough to give us time…. This is crazy…. This weight I have been carrying would broken so many people…. Right now, I’m sitting in a chair, my chest feels like it’s caving in, and I can’t stop trembling…. I wish I knew how to express how I feel… I am not weak, I’m tired, exhausted, there’s a difference…. My girls and my wife are incredible, They bring such a beautifully special light to this world, and so many people cared less….. They are the ones who have kept me sane, they are the ones who have kept me strong, they are the ones who have kept me alive. Those people missed out on an opportunity to have lifelong moments, beautiful moments, a chance to be loved by these little ones…. the ones who could have helped water that beauty, yet decided to deprive us of love and compassion, normalcy, a chance…. As if we were trash, ghosts, unwanted and worthless, homeless people….. We are good people, and we deserve a good person, a person who would have cared, a person who realized we didn’t need money, we needed shelter… That person was my father, and he is gone…. He would have never let us go through this…. Ever….. Not at all…. These are his granddaughters…. Who cares? All we asked for was a chance to rest, save our money, and settle our girls while waiting for our camper…. Instead we had no choice but to spend every dime on hotels, only to be told, yall have been in this too long…. We expressed our immediate need, and it was ignored…. What hurts most is the time lost with my daughters,… I spend every minute of the day messaging, calling, emailing and reaching out to people, trying to find opportunity, help, finances, I don’t even have time for my own personal health…. It’s serious and it’s something that takes a strong soul to endure…. I wish yall knew this pain,……. I wish yall could feel my heart…. I wish yall knew how this has aged me and crushed me some days…. I wish you knew how hard it was to stay this strong….. 🖤 It would have given us an opportunity to save $40,000 for our children and our home, instead of blowing it on hotels…. Now we have nothing, and are told we haven’t done enough?"

Perspective. 🤍

Good afternoon,

I hope you are well.

For anyone who may be following along still, I humbly ask in kind that you please join my family in prayer today regarding the loan we arre anticipating receiving. While we have needs beyond this, (immediate and otherwise) this is the only true hope we have had recently for our circumstances to change. We need this camper. We are grateful for those who have helped us in any capacity, and especially more so because of the lack of response we have received compared to the number of people we have reached out to.

We really need this today. 🙏🏽

Currently we are packing our things to prepare to leave the hotel.  Even if we have nowhere to go immediately, when the loan does post, we can arrange the day + time for it to be delivered to us, after we make payment. We have a learning curve ahead of us, but we are truly eager to have a safe place of our own to call home. 

If you may know of a church or organization that may be willing to help, please forward the information.

If you feel led to help, here is where immediate support can be sent:

Cash App: $newjade194

PayPal: @newjade194

Venmo: @newjade194

We will update it here, and share receipts with those willing to help.

Thank you.

Hi, good morning 🌞 

For those of you who are still walking with us, we are excited to share this positive update: 

After making some necessary changes and submitting our own title information to the bank, on Friday we were finally approved for the loan we have been seeking to be able to purchase the camper we have been trying to acquire the last few weeks, and the funds are being released. While we were hoping it would happen yesterday, we are now anticipating receiving the funds on Monday or Tuesday.

Once we receive the funds, we will arrange the purchase and delivery with Anita and her brother; when this happens, it will then only be eight hours until we have the camper in our possession.

We have been so close, and after persevering, we are almost there.

We have already shared this news with two people who have been willing to communicate about how things are happening; we are deeply grateful for their witness, their prayers, advice, counsel and support. While we have continued to contact churches and organizations to seek help (in any manner) regarding our situation, there still has been no response or willingness to communicate, and the assistance we have been fortunate to receive via this platform has been the only means of support. The reason we have continued to seek help is because the loan will literally just cover the purchase of the camper itself.

Until we receive the loan tomorrow or Tuesday, we are in danger of being forced to leave the hotel and having nowhere to go; we were also informed today by a worker that, despite the hotel owner's kindness to try to work with us, his wife is not as kind, and she has been trying to force him to make us leave. These are people who do not share our faith, or know our God, and their religion rejects our Savior. But still, the Lord touched this man's heart to help.😞💔 Despite being days away from the first big step we have been able to take in a long time to finally improve things —to have a place to call home. 

If anyone keeping up with us is able to offer support to help bridge the gap, we would truly appreciate it. 

Any support offered via the campaign is appreciated, and it will be received within 5-10 business days from the time the donation is made. Immediate help is most effective, and it can be sent to:

Cash App: $newjade194

PayPal: @newjade194

Venmo:@newjade194

We will share it here, and receipts will be shared with those willing to help. If you feel led to help and would like to contribute payment to the hotel owner, please reach out. 🙏🏽

If you may be willing to assist in other ways, or if you know a church or organization that may be willing to help, please send us a message to newbeginnings0244@gmail.com

We are incredibly grateful for small (and not at all insignificant) number of people who have been willing to see us as we try to keep our children safe and finally bring our family home. 

I want to share these kind words: "Doing God's will is never easy. Jesus was the ultimate example. He had no home, was betrayed by those closest to Him, and died a gruesome death. That's what giving God a yes looks like, unfortunately. But the greatest reward awaits us, "Thy good and FAITHFUL servant, well done." Be encouraged, Sis. Count it all joy! It will all make sense soon!"

Thank you for those who have acted in urgency. Thank you for those who have truly understood that this is more than money. For those who witnessed things fall through. For those who responded to the calls and the emails, who have cried with us and reached out for help on our behalf. Thank you for those praying for us, for speaking to your families and friends about our family; thank you for lifting us up in prayer, at your churches, and in the moments, the mornings and evenings that you have. Thank you for those who believe in the Savior who died for all of us, and for those who believe in Eternity. And who have shown us His love. Thank you for the for to every single one who has been here, and for being true brothers and sisters in Christ. ⛪

God love you, each and every one.🤍🫂👑

Thank you —to the brother who responded at 5am, who sent $70 early this morning to help us keep the room so we would not be forced to leave because of what we owed for yesterday's stay-over. And to the brothers who banded together to collectively help us with $135, which we used to pay for today in full, and purchase groceries and toiletries we needed. 

We know we thanked you privately, but we promised to share things here for those who are following. We are so very grateful.

God bless you all. 🫂👑🤍🙏🏽

Hi,

If you are seeing this message, we are in urgent need of help today. We have exhausted all of our funds maintaining the hotel as we wait for the loan approval; because today is still a business day, we are praying for a miracle, that today will be the day that it finally comes through. Until it does, we are still a full two weeks away from any further income, and we have literally nothing. We also owe yesterday's payment for the room, and we are extremely worried and anxious about being asked to leave. 😕

We would be so grateful for any support as we pray for this miracle to come to fruition—in any manner the Lord may lead. Our immediate concern is always to be able to at least maintain the hotel for our safety, and so as to be in good standing with the owner (who has agreed to allow us to park free of charge for a small period of time once we receive the camper). But we are currently one day behind, and as of morning, it will be two days. 

We need change, opportunity. We need a home. After all we have endured, this camper is still a feasible, realistic option that can allow us to finally get some footing, so that we can move forward. Until then, we are stuck in this cycle. Beyond the situation at hand, there is more happening in the world, and we just want to be safe and have peace. The pressure of this situation has been so much bigger than us, we are so very close to things finally being better. But the truth is that we cannot do it alone, and we need help to make it. 

Please message here, or to newbeginnings0244@gmail.com

No donation is insignificant, and is extremely appreciated, as we try to finally make our way home. 🤍 Any donations made via the campaign should be received within 5-10 business days after they are made. Immediate support is most effective, and can be contributed by making a direct payment to the hotel, or sent here:

Cash App: $newjade194

PayPal: @newjade194

Venmo: @newjade194

Assistance received will be shared here with the body of Christ working together to get our family home, and receipts/proof of payment can be shared with those willing to help.

Please continue to pray for us, to share our campaign. It means more than you know.

Thank you, and God bless you, each and every one. 🫂

"When You said, "Seek My face,"

My heart said to You, "Your face, Lord, I will seek."

—Psalm 27:8 

Hi,

I hope that anyone reading this is well. 🤍 I wanted to share an update with those who have kept in tune with us and offered support. We hadn't had much to share, because things were at a bit of a stand-still. And we had not received any word from brother Flores since our last update. But he contacted us yesterday to inform us that he has still been trying to make a way to receive a loan approval for the purchase of Anita and her brother's camper—but the bank will not release the funds without a vehicle title; as such, today, we have provided our own vehicle title to help make it possible to receive the $4,000 loan. Now we wait. While this was not the initial plan, we need change, opportunity. We need a home. After all we have endured, this is still a realistic option that can allow us to finally get some footing, so that we can move forward. Until then, we are stuck in this cycle. Beyond the situation at hand, there is more happening in the world, and we just want to be safe and have peace. The pressure of this situation has been so much bigger than us, we are so very close to things finally being better. But the truth is that we cannot do it alone, and we need help to make it. 

I wanted to share a prayer today, and some Scriptures that have been on my heart and that I consider when warring in the Spirit. There is a reason we are called to share the gospel —despite our shortcomings— for the saving of souls, for Christ's glory. We are called to remember the price that was paid, that spared us from the very real, current, and eternal damnation that exists even now for those who have not seen the Salvation of Christ —and the good news of the gospel of He Who is Christ. There is a reason we must take up our Cross daily. There is a reason why we are called to put on our armor daily. There is a reason that we must pray without ceasing—daily—YHWH in each and every breath that we take, being a praise to His Name. There is a reason that we must not grieve the Holy Spirit. I have found, by experience, that beyond reading the Word, it is pure, humble, broken, honest worship that brings me closest to Christ. 

If it were easy to truly be like Christ, we wouldn't have needed His sacrifice. And we would all be doing much better at it than we may like to think we are. But His scales aren't ours.⚖️⏳🤍

"Gracious Father, in the quiet chambers of my heart, I confess that my spirit has sometimes drifted into complacency, losing sight of the joy found in Your Holy presence. 🕊️ Forgive me for the times when lesser excitements have eclipsed the profound joy of communion with You. 💔

I humbly ask that You would rekindle a sacred enthusiasm within me—a longing that seeks You above all else. 👑 May my heart resonate with the psalmist's yearning and respond with fervor to Your call to seek Your face. 🙏🏽 Teach me to cherish our time together more than any other encounter, and to approach our divine fellowship with the reverence and delight it deserves. ✨

Enfold me in Your presence, Lord, and let my pursuit of You be constant, passionate, and pure. 🫂 In the precious name of Christ Yeshua, my Savior and my deepest joy, I pray. Amen." 🤍 —Bible For Women 

1 Thessalonians 5:1-5 :"Now concerning how and when all this will happen, dear brothers and sisters, we don’t really need to write you. For you know quite well that the day of the Lord’s return will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night. When people are saying, “Everything is peaceful and secure,” then disaster will fall on them as suddenly as a pregnant woman’s labor pains begin. And there will be no escape.

But you aren’t in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won’t be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief. For you are all children of the light and of the day; we don’t belong to darkness and night." 🕯️

Ephesians 6: 10-13: "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. 🪨🗡️👑

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."

1 Peter 5: " To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. ⛪ And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away. 💎

 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,

“God opposes the proud

    but shows favor to the humble.”

 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. 🙌🏽 Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. 🫂

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 

And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To Him be the power for ever and ever. Amen." 🙏🏽👑🕊️

Thank you to anyone the Lord may lead to reach out to offer support. Thank you to those praying for us. We will be brothers and sisters in Eternity. 🤍👑🏰🕊️

Hi,

Many people know the saying, "When it rains it pours" and today it is more than fitting. 

We have three sick kiddos with fevers and no medicine. We have to leave the hotel today because we are not able to make payment. We do not have any means to get gas to go anywhere else. It's 42 degrees out today. 🥺 My phone service expired after midnight last night, and we have no way to make/receive any calls. And this is just the surface.

I've tried so hard to reach anyone, to ask for help before this point today. I am so worried, sleep deprived, and physically ill. 

Please help. 💔

To the first person who responded to our update and donated via the campaign, thank you, so much. 🤍 Thank you for your kindness.

4PM: I wanted to share that our brother saw our call for help today, and sent us $225. With his help, we made the payment we owed. We know you know that your help was no small deal, and that you understand how much we appreciate it; that is the reason you did it. 🫂

I must share that I really am very unwell today. I am having heart palpitations, and pains in my chest. Honestly I'm trying to be prayerful and not be worried. I am having what I call a flare -up today, with multiple symptoms at once. I'm grateful to share that the kids' fevers are finally down now. And none of it would have been possible without this help.  Thank you so much.

🫂

I wanted to make a small (but urgent) update for anyone who may be following, praying for, or supporting our campaign. We know the circle of you, is small, (and not at all insignificant) and we are grateful for each and every one of you. 🤍

We have been candid about the camper situation with the hotel owner; so he has been aware of our continued communication attempts with pastor Flores, and also the difficulty we have had maintaining the room. The last few days in particular have been very difficult; we exhausted our funds days ago, just staying in place—as we had shared. Purchasing the camper was our plan. And we thought it would be last Friday. 😔 We were waiting for a word from pastor Flores who'd advised us not to worry, which is much easier said than done. And we have not received a response from any of the churches, companies or organizations we have contacted. 😥 Today would be the fourth day we have been unable to make payment. $1,000 goes fairly quickly when the room is $89-120+/day, and that is not even including food. But we must have a safe place to live. We do still have hope of purchasing the camper from Anita, and it is still a more affordable, realistic option (and a good deal for its overall condition) within our current financial means, that we can maintain going forward. But we still need help to raise the funds we would need. 

The hotel owner has been so kind to completely wave the totals that we owed him, for the last three days. A man who does not even share our faith, or believe in our God—for us, proving all the more that He is real, and that He is always with us. 

But we also know we have to provide him a payment, and he did express this. And if we are unable to make payment, we will have to leave tomorrow, with nowhere to go.

Yesterday, someone reached out to us and offered us a place to stay for a short time. (Which would honestly be very helpful.) But today, they haven't answered. We are hoping they will respond, after initiating contact.

One thing I have noticed is that since this ordeal began, when things are very difficult and we are praying and trying to war in spirit, we have all fell ill; It first happened days after the eviction, when we caught covid, and again last December, in the hotels. I shared here a few days ago that I have been ill. Now that all three of our kiddos are sneezing and feverish, it is apparent that it could be more than a cold. But I'm really hoping that isn't the case. All the same, we worry about being able to have medicine for our toddlers. Though we are using cold compresses, we know that a serious, prolonged fever can trigger an ear infection or even hearing loss if left unattended. Things can go from bad to worse fairly quickly. 😥

With all this being said, if there are still people here who may be willing to offer any support, we could truly use it today. 

While immediate support may be best per our circumstances, we are equally thankful for any support made in any amount via the campaign. It should be accessible 5-10 days from the time of donation.

We will update immediate support here, and it can be sent to:

P.S. I want to leave you with this beautiful rendition of Psalm 23, from the Young David series. 

I hope it touches you as much as it does, all of us. 🫂

PSALM 23: 

https://youtu.be/sVgGeDiWn90?si=Z-RmulRCjGH-HfjX

"Even if I walk through the valley

Even if I'm lost in the shadows

I will not fear for I know You are with me

The Lord is my Shepherd

I have everything I need. I lack nothing at all

He leads me, beside quiet waters

to a place I can lie down and find rest for my soul

He restores and revives my life

never leaves my side

Even if I walk through the valley

Even if I'm lost in the shadows

I will not fear for I know You are with me

Surely goodness and mercy will follow

Follow me wherever I go

I will not fear for the Lord is my Shepherd

You are, You are my best friend

Like an eagle, You renew my strength for all of my days

You are good and Your heart is for me and will guide me

In the path of righteousness. For the honor of Your name

Even if I walk through the valley

Even if I'm lost in the shadows

I will not fear for I know You are with me

Surely goodness and mercy will follow

Follow me wherever I go

I will not fear for the Lord is my Shepherd

The Lord is my Shepherd."

5:30PM Thank you to the person who made a $20 donation via our campaign today. We appreciate your support. 🫂 Thank you for keeping us in your prayers and your heart. 🤍

Thankful, in any circumstance, for the Father who saved me; Christ, who is Yeshua, Adonai, El Roi— God who sees me. 👑

"When the gales of life swirl, may we pause and listen, for in the rustling whispers, God speaks. He is ever near, His patience vast, His attentiveness unyielding, His blessings unfailing. In the breath of the wind, remember—He is with us, now and always.

Lord of Heaven’s armies, we stand in awe of Your majesty, displayed in the grandeur of creation and the intimacy of Your presence. Like a gentle breeze that caresses our faces, whisper Your love into the depths of our souls. Amid the tempests of life, may we sense Your nearness, find peace in Your sovereignty, and rest in the assurance that You are God over every storm. Quell our fears, steady our hearts, and uplift our spirits with the reminder that You are always by our side, guiding us with Your wisdom and enveloping us in Your grace. In Yeshua's’ name, we find our refuge and our strength. Amen."

Psalm 105:2-7 :

"Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;

Talk of all His wondrous works!

Glory in His holy name;

Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord !

Seek the Lord and His strength;

Seek His face evermore!

Remember His marvelous works which He has done,

His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,

O seed of Abraham His servant,

You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!

He is the Lord our God;

His judgments are in all the earth."

Hi,

Leaving this beautiful prayer here, in case someone else needs it, too. 🫂

https://youtu.be/dVz6yimuTgU?si=deMK2peywiYfGKcj

Praying God doesn't give up on me yet. 

🤍

Good morning,

Yesterday, not a single relative called or asked after our oldest. Not a single person. There were no phone calls, no cards, no wishes, no gifts. There were no friends, no family. There was no happy birthday. It was a sad day for all of us, because more than any of those things, we just wanted to be home. 😞💔

It's not always God.

People often say, "Everything's for a reason." We have heard this phrase so many times through the last year. Because we believe in a very real, very intentional God, we don't believe in coincidences, even. But I have realized one thing.

Everything isn't always for a reason. Sometimes when things don't work out, it's not as simple as "it wasn't God's plan" or "It wasn't meant to be." Sometimes, it's just people. Fallible, imperfect people.

That's a hard truth.

💔

Holding on to faith.

Good evening,

We hope that you are well. We have been wanting to detail the situation with the camper that we have experienced. It has been difficult to find the words, and we will do our best to be straightforward and respectful as we share things from our end. We pray the Lord gives us the right words. We are simply trying to share things as they are.

There are a few reasons that purchasing the camper for our family has not come to pass; even when we shared that we had made contact with a minister who offered to help, we continued to humbly request that people share and support our campaign—and in case things didn't work out, which we have experienced time and again.

When we made contact with brother Flores (by way of YouTube) and he offered to assist us by requesting a loan on our behalf, we were candid about our circumstances, our financial means, and our immediate need for a place to call home. We understood that there could be challenges, and we understood that we were trusting him at his own promise. In short, here are a few things that happened, to best summarize it all:

1). The loan was not requested for several days after the day we were told; This kind of delayed things a little bit, and left us unable to reasonably plan.

2). Upon receiving the pre-approval email for the loan, we had a phone conversation with brother Flores; but less than a couple minutes after it began, he suggested that he "may keep the camper (himself) to maybe help other families in need"; before receiving the loan, and despite offering to help this be our new home. This created a lot of mixed feelings, on our part, as we thought he understood our circumstances; we could not understand how he could be considering this when we still have no place to live. And we don't know if he realized this. 😔

3). More than a week after the request was entered, he shared that he worked for the insurance company from where he was requesting the loan. We did not know how he was going about requesting the loan, and rather than a personal loan it was a vehicle loan that was requested. Upon receiving the loan, we were going to send half of the payment ($2,000) and it would be driven 7.5 hours to be delivered to us, (last Friday) where we would then send the remaining $2,000 after viewing it and receiving the title and completing the bill of sale. He asked that Anita and her brother send the title for the camper in order for the funds to be released, and they refused; they insisted he was being dishonest and trying to use their camper as collateral, and they would not budge. There could have been compromise on either side, per each person offering to help, and there honestly wasn't. 🥺 While brother Flores has said he hasn't given up on helping, we do not know what that means, as he has not been communicative. We have no prior knowledge of matters like these, and this is also why we encouraged people to reach out to us and we tried to make contact. And we were just caught in the middle. 😞

As of today, we have already exhausted the funds that we had, maintaining our room; our account was already overdrawn. When we received my husband's pay, we were already two whole days behind in paying the room. Which is what we did first. 

We thought Friday, this chapter would be over. 😞

Tomorrow, is our oldest daughter's birthday. Our first baby. The one who made us a family. And the one we have been praying and holding on for, for so very long, for things to finally change for the better—for all of us.

And we can't even get her a gift. But all she wants more than anything, is to be home. 😔

Anita and her brother are still willing to work with us to make the sale for the camper. And they're still willing to drive it down to us. It is more than a good deal, and with consideration to its condition. 

Today, we are pleading for your support to allow this to come through for our daughters. To help us raise the funds ($4,000) we will need to purchase this camper for our new home. If you may be willing to help with other needs, such as a generator, Starlink, or something else, please send a message.

Share our campaign. Continue to pray for us.

Please.

🤍

To the two brothers bearing witness and continuing to war and walk with us, thank you so much. We thank God for you.🫂👑📜🕊️👑🌅🗝️🏰

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

—2 Corinthians 4:18

"Heavenly Father, Architect of the Universe and Keeper of my heart, draw me closer to the masterpiece of Your creation. In the moments when Your workings are hidden from my sight, infuse my spirit with the trust that You are meticulously crafting my story. Help me to let go of my need for comprehension and to embrace the journey of faith with grace.

Lord, I offer my life as clay in Your hands, moldable and trusting. Mend the fractures of my faith where doubt has crept in, and guide my steps along the path of Your righteousness. With a heart surrendered, I lean not on my own insight but on the promise of Your eternal wisdom.

In the sacred and powerful name of Jesus, I lay down my questions and lift up my trust, knowing that Your timing is flawless and Your purposes are good. Amen."

To our brother who sent us $25 for dinner, thank you. 🫂

"But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!""

—Matthew 14:30

Amidst a tempest of wind and waves, there was a moment where the impossible became possible. Peter, with eyes locked on Jesus, stepped out upon the water, walking towards his Lord. This miraculous walk upon the sea was not just a testament to Peter's faith but to the power that radiates from Christ when we fix our gaze solely on Him.

The instant Peter's attention wavered, when the howling wind and the towering waves captured his gaze, he began to falter. In that moment, Peter mirrored our own spiritual journey. The world around us is a storm of distractions, each gust of wind a worry, each wave a temptation, aiming to shift our focus away from our Savior. And like Peter, the moment we let those distractions cloud our vision, we start to sink into the depths of doubt and fear.

Yet, Peter's story does not end in the cold embrace of the waters. In his desperation, he uttered a plea for rescue, and without hesitation, Jesus extended His hand. This divine intervention speaks of a profound truth: even when we lose sight of God, His sight never wavers from us. His steadfast grasp is unfailing.

If you find yourself overwhelmed, sinking beneath distractions, fears, and uncertainties, remember that it's never too late to redirect your gaze upward. Call out to Jesus, and He will draw you back to the surface, back to the walk of faith. For even when our grip loosens, the Lord's hold on us remains unbreakable.

O Sovereign Lord, in the multitude of my thoughts and the chaos of this world, help me to fix my eyes upon You. In moments of weakness, when my spirit wavers, remind me of Your unwavering presence. Teach me to seek You with a relentless passion, to rise above the stormy seas of life with my gaze firmly set on You, the Author and Perfecter of my faith. In the precious sanctuary of Your embrace, let me find my strength and my courage. In the blessed name of Jesus Christ, my Rescuer and Redeemer, I pray. Amen."

—Bible for Women

We hope, not in people, but in the Lord our God who cares for each and every one of us. 

🤍

We want to thank our brother across the world for the $150 in USD you sent to help us pay towards the two days we had owed the hotel. Thank you so much. 

We know you may have already seen our message. We just wanted to share it here, as we have promised. 

Thank you for those who are reaching out, who are crying with us, hoping with us, praying for us. 

🫂

10PM:To the brother who reached out this evening with an encouraging word, and donated $40 to help us cover the room, thank you for keeping up with us. It means a lot, and we are thankful for your support. God bless you. 🫂

Good afternoon,

I wanted to make an update to share that, because of brother Flores, and his communication with the hotel owner, we were able to keep the room yesterday. We are thankful for his mediation, and for his much needed prayer, fellowship and intercession. 🙏🏽🤍

It is a lot to share so much publicly, and for so long. And it's a very uneasy feeling to do so with so many people, and more than a bit awkward when there is no response, despite knowing there are people watching. =\

There have also been some strange instances, and the care of our children is paramount.

With that being said, I will be refraining from making any updates about our family in this time, and at least until we are more safe and secure.

We appreciate your understanding in this time. 

If anyone seeing this post (today, tomorrow, or in the upcoming days) feels led to reach out or to offer help in any manner until then, we are grateful for your direct communication —be it here via the campaign, or our email: ✉️newbeginnings0244@gmail.com

I thank you on behalf of my family.

🫂

God bless each and every one of you, always.

🤍

12PM: We spoke with the current hotel staff, and we were told we have only until 2PM to provide payment for today. We will not be allowed to stay.😢We are waiting for Brother Flores to return our call. We don't know what we are going to do. We are packing our things now. 

Please, if you see this message and you're willing to help, reach out. We are more than worried. 😥

8AM Good morning,

Thank you so very much to the person who donated $10 after our update last night, and to brother Flores for helping us to get dinner. We appreciate your support. God bless you. 🫂 While brother Flores and Anita are on standby to help us receive the camper as soon as possible, we are unable to secure our room today. We are very worried, and the hotel has been far less kind most recently, and despite providing payment. We owe no previous balance, and we only owe today, at 11AM.  We're truly ready for the end of this chapter and the hope of having a place to call home. 😥If anyone who is following sees this, we could truly use your help. 

Please.😞

Send us a message.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Good evening,

We hope that you are well. 🤍

We are excited to share some good news via this update! 🌞 But first, I would like to share some beautiful words that the Lord led me to yesterday: 

"Believe and do what's right" is the typical message for how to grow spiritually.

But often this message gets intertwined with messages like....

"Deny your emotions, deny your needs, deny your struggles."

"Just go off with your Bible and pray—work harder at that."

"You're gonna be strong, you can overcome this."

"Just think true and good thoughts and your feelings will follow."

These are very harmful expectations that we put on ourselves (and that well-meaning preachers and friends may put on us).

They inevitably fail us and put shame on us— especially if we're in a season of questioning, deconstruction, spiritual burnout, or a dark night of the soul.

The Bible never advises that we deny our emotions or the reality of what we're experiencing.

God is sensitive and attentive to us. He would not have us internalize or invalidate our real emotions or struggles.

Instead, the Spirit of Jesus wants us to open the hurting part of our self to receive his comfort and grace.

So, when we're hurting, feeling stuck in our faith, or experiencing a trial, it's important for us to be emotionally honest with God and safe people.

We need someone to listen, validate our emotions, offer God's grace, and be with us in the pain. Someone who will let us grieve and voice our losses, desolations, stress, disappointment, sadness, etc.

This is the safest and healthiest way to get your soul breathing again and to experience the love of Christ where you need it most."

—@SoulSheparding 

These words are more than touching. They ring loud and true for our family. 

Today, we got the first call that we have been waiting for: Brother Flores contacted us to confirm that the loan he requested on behalf of our family to purchase the camper from sister Anita, has been pre-approved. (In the amount of $4,000) He also sent us confirmation. 

We are now just waiting for the final approval and release of the funds, which will occur within the next 1-10 business days. 

This is not much longer, but because of our immediate circumstances, it feels much longer for us.

We humbly ask that you please continue to pray for us and to share our campaign. We would appreciate the help of anyone who may be able to provide any support to help us with the hotel cost, or food, until then. We also welcome you to reach out to speak further if you may be willing to make a donation in any amount directly towards the purchase of this camper; Being able to repay brother Flores in full would mean having full ownership of the camper, truly ensuring safety for our children, and the stability we need to be able to truly move forward. As I type this, I cannot help but to reflect on 1 Corinthians 12:25-27: 

"..so that there should be no division in the body, but that it's parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it." 

We are humbly, eternally thankful for each and every one who stepped in to offer us love and care, even in times when we had no family of our own to rely on. For those who kept us safe. For those who were walking with us, and are no longer able. For those who have fed us. For those who are praying, and for those who don't have much but offer all they can. For everyone who saw us through God's eyes, and not those of the world. 

We are so very thankful. 🫂

The payment we were anticipating was finally released, and our room was covered today. We are still five days away from receiving my husband's modest income, on Friday; we would like to make the best of these funds as we can, and the hotel costs $89+/day. We are praying we will not have to exhaust them keeping the room. When we arrange for the delivery of the camper, we will need gas to travel, food and other small expenses. We will have to figure out acquiring a generator, and a reliable source of internet. There is a sister who we purchased clothes from last year who has two boxes of clothes ready to ship for our girls—for FREE. We just have to cover the shipping cost. 

If anyone is willing to provide any support in any manner, or may be willing to help cover payment with the hotel owner directly, please send a message via the campaign or to : ✉️ newbeginnings0244@gmail.com

Good afternoon,

We want to again thank the people who reached out yesterday and offered help. We are truly grateful, and we pray God blesses each and every one of you for the help you offered our family. 🫂 

We attempted to make contact with some people to speak on the phone, but there wasn't a response. While we just hoped to speak to communicate in detail about what has been happening, and to offer our thanks, we do understand and we respect this. 🤍

To those who sent encouraging words, thank you. It means more than you know.

Today, we will be behind, but by tomorrow morning we will be able to cover today because of the donation made last week. We are so close to having a place to call home, and your help means so much. 🤍

 I'd like to share the daily verse from the women's devotional I use. Today, it's Job 2:13, and it included a touching message.

Job 2:13 reads, "So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great."

The meditation offered for this Scripture, follows:

"In life's deepest valleys, sometimes words falter and fail us. Imagine standing by Job's side, a man stricken with loss and anguish, his suffering so profound that his friends, upon seeing him, wept and sat in silence for seven days. They recognized the magnitude of his pain, a sorrow too vast for words.

Picture the ancient landscape of the Middle East, the brook Jabbok a silent witness to your own internal struggle. It's here, in the stillness of dawn, that you encounter the Divine. "I'm not surprised to find You here," you whisper to God, amidst the beauty of His creation.

He speaks of a ministry not of words, but of 'Presence.' You wrestle with the simplicity of the calling, for the world around teems with hostility and division, echoing the animosities of old.

A sacred silence envelops your thoughts, as you touch upon a fragment of His divine sadness. Tears threaten to fall as you listen to the stories of the people, feeling the weight of their despair.

"It killed Me," God reveals, speaking of His own time on earth, a 'man of sorrows.' You grapple with your human limitations, feeling unnecessary in the face of such sorrow.

"Why am I here?" you ask, seeking purpose.

"To feel," He replies. "To weep."

It is in this revelation that you understand the ministry of Silence, the ministry of Presence. You write a reminder to yourself, to carry this ministry into every space of pain."

There has been sorrow, there has been discouragement. Many times, admittedly, worry. 😔 There has been heartbreak, and weeping through our challenges. But nothing compares to the suffering of the One who suffered for us. 💔 There is a comfort, a peace that surpasses all understanding, in knowing that in the end, it's God who is in control. Despite what we face and what we see with our mortal eyes, He remains the same—yesterday, today, and forever. 🕊️

I would also like to share this prayer with you:

"Heavenly Father, in the silent moments where words are scarce and the pain of others wraps around me, grant me the grace to embody Your ministry of Presence. Teach me to value the quiet companionship I can offer, the silent solidarity of shared tears. Remind me, O Lord, that in the stillness, my mere presence can be a balm to the wounded soul. May I cherish the privilege of simply being there, a vessel of Your compassion, a silent witness to their stories. For in the tapestry of life, every thread of empathy weaves Your love deeper into the hearts of those who suffer.

Amen."

Thank you, eternally.

🤍

We have been up all night worried about how we are going to pay the room today. 😔 We are waiting on word from the minister regarding the loan; He contacted us and said it is in the stages of approval, but that will not happen until next week. He also feels very strongly that the loan will work, but can't make the process go any faster. We have exhausted every single option we have at this point, and we are now just patiently waiting on the Lord, and the promise of those who have extended help. We truly could use an act of kindness in this moment. 🤍 If your heart is open to helping us, could you please listen to that voice? Because God knows, we desperately need it right now. We just want to be safe with our babies until this RV comes to pass, and we have done all we can to make sure they are fed and safe. It's drowning us at this point, And all we need is a little time until this loan is dispatched to the minister, Brother Flores. The woman who is helping with the remainder of the camper is also still on board, so this is going to happen fairly quickly.  

Last week, we made contact with a relative who extended help to provide a safe place to land for a little bit to make sure the girls are safe. But we have not heard back since, and we are trying to make contact. It comes as very, very disheartening. 😞

  The hotel may make us leave today, and honestly, transparently, we don't know what we are going to do. 🥺 Our last realistic option, which would find itself to be immensely difficult, would be to try to find a campground that is safe and within reasonable distance—at which point, we would lose our hotel room, and be at the mercy of waiting on our camper. We have a small tent that we purchased months back in case of absolute last resort, but it is nowhere big enough nor safe enough for us, especially in an area we are completely unfamiliar with. We have used every bit of funds on the hotel throughout the last 10 days, ($900+) and we do not even have money for food or gas. We are so very tired, scared, yet hopeful that this season will change very soon. We are asking, as parents who love their girls dearly; if you know how much this hurts, how very badly we just want to be able to keep them safe until this comes to pass for us, please respond. 🙏🏽

Since we have had the camper presented to us, we have imagined daily, the morning we wake up on a serene, quiet camp with our daughters. To have breakfast at the picnic tables or in our new camper, and just enjoy peace and calm with them. It's so very close, yet we desperately need help at this time making sure we are safe until the camper is transferred to our family. 

We do not ask nor want to beg. But pray for compassion and care. Our little girls come before our pride, and they deserve to be safe, and cared for, and we are asking for this moment to help us float to shore. We have felt like we have been drowning for so long, swimming against the waves, and we are so, very tired and worn thin. We are so very in need of time, which is costing us every minute. We do not want to be a burden to anyone, we just need time. 

We are really trying to pour our hearts out.... Trying to convey how deeply and immediate this situation is. We have remained faithful. We are so scared, we just want them to be safe. They are excited about the camper, and this hotel situation is just crushing us, it has been hard to tough this final stretch of the race out. We have already looked into certain camp grounds and places we will go. We are so very excited and hopeful, yet the storm is not over. Camping will be a learning curve for us, but we are most eager to ensure the safety of our family, to have that moment to breathe. Moreso, we will be relieved to finally lift the weight of hotel fees evaporating our finances. 

Our family is so close to home. But we are not quite at the finish line.

🏡

Will you please help us get there?

1:30PM: To the person who donated $50 to Cash App at 11:30, thank you so much! 🙏🏽 are close to covering the room today ($99+). We appreciate your help. 

7:15PM: To the person who sent us $12 to PayPal, thank you very much. 🤍

We are so close to having the full amount we owe for today. The funds we have raised this far are untouched, and we have not figured out dinner for the evening. We have been trying to secure the room. The $100 donation made last week did not post yesterday, and now it is the weekend. So we may not receive it until Monday. We are awaiting our own income this coming Friday. While donations made to our PayPal can be transferred to our Cash App, Venmo funds cannot be combined with either. If you may be willing to help pay the hotel directly, please send a message. 🙏🏽We are so incredibly grateful for the people that reached out to help, but it would mean so much if you would please continue to share this. 

Thank you. 🤍

10PM: To our brother who sent us $50 via Venmo, thank you so very much. 🙏🏽 With your help, we were able to secure dinner for the night. Please see our email, we sent screenshots of our grocery receipt and for the room payment. God love you. 🫂

Good evening,

If anyone who's following sees this and is able to offer any support today, please reach out. 

We were fortunate to cover the room today because of the points we have acquired because of our stays. But we have no funds for the next week, and we would be grateful for any help. 🫂

The $100 donation that was made last week will be available tomorrow, but it will go to covering our room ($89+) as we wait out the loan process for the purchase of the camper. 

Please send us a message.

Romans 5:3-5:

"And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."

Shared Prayer:

"Dearest Father, in the shadow of Your wings, I seek refuge. You, who bore the cross for me, teach my heart to see beyond the trials. When the weight of this world presses down upon me, let me not lose sight of the hope that You have secured—a hope as enduring as Your everlasting love. May this assurance be the melody that soothes my soul and the rhythm that guides my steps. In the precious name of Christ Yeshua, I lift this prayer, Amen."

Hi,

I'm seeking to understand how to speak about some things.

How can I share things, as they were, without negativity? So that it is truthful, but inoffensive? Yes—we should pray for discernment, but who has a wise answer?

We are not bitter towards anyone who has not responded to our call for help. It's not a matter of being entitled to anyone's help. It can be discouraging when others say otherwise, when you know what His word says.

Those who have helped us, from the beginning, in any capacity, you have done so much more than you know. It has been the kindness of complete strangers, brothers and sisters, who truly have God's heart. What you have done will carry into Eternity. 👑

We are so thankful for the people working together to help this happen for our family, our girls, and for those helping to keep us until it does. 🕊️🏡🫂🤍

We have been trying not to worry, but it is hard, after all we have experienced. 

When the loan is approved and the funds are available, we can arrange for the camper to be delivered soon after. Anita has assured us that they have no plans to sell the camper to anyone else. But just today we received word from brother Flores that it's in underwriting; As such, we cannot plan accordingly on either side until it is done. 😕 And honestly, we are swimming until then. 😞 While we are anticipating my husband's pay, it's a week away, and the account was overdrawn covering our room previously. We have almost half of what we need to cover tomorrow. Those of you who have been walking with us a long time have knowledge of other things that need addressing (like our IDs, needing to get a basic inspection before towing the camper, generator, etc.,). Those who are trying to help us are on standby to vouch for our needs. We welcome anyone to speak with us in detail if they feel led to provide support. 

✉️Email us here: newbeginnings0244@gmail.com

Donations made via the campaign can be requested 72 Hours after they are made; we must then submit a request to access them. Upon approval the funds will be released, and they should be accessible in 5-7 business days.

We hope you're having a blessed day, I thought I would share this prayer with you from my women's devotional:

"Abba Father, in the sanctuary of Your presence, I offer the canvas of my life, humbly awaiting the brush strokes of Your divine hand. Grant me the courage that knows no bounds, the strength that rises in the face of trials, and the wisdom to discern the steps You've ordained for me. May I embrace the dreams You've lovingly sown within my heart, casting aside the chains of fear and stepping forward with a spirit disciplined by Your grace. Let each day be a testament to the power of Your love at work within me. In the precious name of Yeshua the Christ, I lift this prayer. Amen."

Please understand how much we appreciate your help. El Roi sees. God bless each and every one of you. 🫂

Good evening,

I hope that you are well. I wanted to take a moment to again thank the people that have reached out, and those who have helped us the last few days as we anticipate acquiring this camper as a place to call home. 🏡 We are truly thankful for you, and we pray for your blessings and God's provision for your needs, and His love on your families. 🫂 And we thank you for being a reflection of His love. 👑

We are trying to maintain consistent communication as things transpire, and we are remaining faithful that this miracle happens soon. We have been told by the minister (brother Flores) who is helping us to purchase this camper that we should have a response from the bank regarding the loan by the end of the week. He is hoping to be approved for $4,000. The woman who is helping to purchase the camper (Anita) will be contributing $2,500 on our behalf. She and her brother not only have agreed to deliver the camper to us once we have the funds, but have offered to fill the fridge and freezer for the kiddos, and include a few fishing poles. We are overwhelmed with excitement to help make this happen for our girls. We will also arrange a return payment to brother Flores in full over a period of agreed upon time. We share this candidly, because, while we have a modest consistent income, we are trying to maintain until we have the relief of the camper, and we can shed the financial weight of keeping the hotel. We appreciate those who understand that this need is for our daughters.

We humbly ask for your continued support, and we thank you with our whole hearts. Please, continue to share our campaign, that it may reach others willing to help us reach the start of our family's new beginning. Whether it's prayer, sharing our campaign, (+ YouTube, Tik-Tok) help to maintain food and the hotel, or a donation towards purchasing the camper, every single bit means so much. And we cannot express just how much each and every one of you has increased our faith, and how it has touched others. 🤍 If anyone provides any additional assistance, we will update it here. 🏡

Surely this load would be too much for any one regular person to carry. But if many caring people were willing to band together, it will forever change the lives of three very deserving little girls, and two young parents trying their hardest to hold on to their family at what seems like the end of the world. 🕊️🏡👑🤍🫂

Love to each of you in the Father,

"In the quiet corridors of history, there walked a man whose gaze pierced beyond the tangible. His footsteps resounded with purpose as He traversed the dusty roads of ancient lands, sharing the essence of divine love. This man, Jesus, encountered countless souls, each carrying a story etched in the depth of their eyes. But among the throngs of seekers and the whispers of the curious, there was a singular thread that caused Him to pause—a thread woven with the unyielding strands of faith.

Consider a moment, veiled in the echoes of the past, where a woman burdened by her transgressions, knelt at His feet. With tears that spoke of a contrite heart, she anointed Him in a silent plea for mercy. Jesus, feeling the weight of her sincerity, offered her a solace that transcended her past, saying softly, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."

Imagine the scene where desperation and hope collided as a woman, afflicted and shunned, reached through a sea of indifference to grasp the mere hem of His garment. Her touch, light yet laden with belief, drew His attention, and He turned to her with a declaration of deliverance, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace."

And behold the instance of a mother, a foreigner to the chosen people, who boldly approached Him, her plea for her child's healing rising above the barriers of her lineage. Jesus observed her unwavering trust and proclaimed with admiration, "O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire."

In the presence of faith, neither status nor wealth held any allure for Jesus. It was faith alone that captivated Him, for He knew the arduous journey it beckoned one to undertake. Faith requires a vision beyond the visible, a trust in the promise of a love so profound that it defies the present reality. It is faith that kindles the divine power within us, allowing us to gaze past our tribulations and live above them. No longer must we be ensnared by the trials that befall us, for in faith, we are anchored in the triumphant work accomplished on the cross."

Tonight's Prayer:

"O Gracious Creator, refuge in my days of uncertainty, I come before You with a heart yearning for the strength to hold steadfast to the faith You have nurtured within me. In the quietude of my soul, I seek the courage to believe, even when shadows cast doubts upon my path. You, O Lord, are the bedrock of my faith, the unseen vision that guides me through the wilderness of this world. Envelop me in Your presence, that I may walk with the assurance of the unseen, clinging to the truth of Your eternal promises. In the name of Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of my faith, I offer this prayer, Amen." 

👑

To the person who made a $20 donation to our family late yesterday, thank you, and God bless you. We are grateful for your support. 🫂

"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

-- Romans 15:13

Good afternoon everyone,

We would have made this update sooner, but there is a lot happening today as we tried to handle things with the hotel owner and speak to the minister we have been in contact with.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the person who kindly sent us a generous $500 donation early this afternoon. We are also thankful for the two donations ($120) we received via the campaign yesterday, but we do not have immediate access to those funds, and we did not know how we were going to handle things today with owing payment for the last three days. We have been trying to keep our word, and because we have, the owner of the hotel has been gracious. We really did not want to create an issue, and we were also afraid of having to leave. Your kindness saved us today. 🫂💐🤍 We paid the owed balance in full immediately, and we thank you for the support your help will provide our family the next couple days.

The minister reached out to us for a few details, but we are still awaiting a response from the bank about the loan for the camper. We have agreed to pay him back over time, and he is doing what he can to help this happen as soon as possible. This means so much.

We appreciate any support offered in this time, and we encourage anyone who's willing to help be a part of this, to reach out so we can bridge communication. If someone may feel led to donate directly to the purchase of the camper, but would like to communicate directly with the seller, she is open to communicating as well. 🕊️ Email us: newbeginnings0244@gmail.com

God has truly kept us through all of you.

We thank you, and we love you.

🤍

We will make any updates as soon as we can.

Good Morning everyone, 🌞 

We were able to speak with the hotel manager and he was very cordial, unlike the workers have been. We haven’t paid yet, but he told us to come speak to him after 1PM today to arrange something. If you can help contribute anything today, it would truly be so appreciated.

For more than a week, we have been in talks with a minister about assistance in purchasing a camper. We have not mentioned it here in case it does not come to pass. But we are remaining prayerful. Thank you to those we have been in direct communication with about this, and for your support in vouching for our family and offering contact. 🫂 A woman sent us a message, with an offer to help purchase her brother's camper. We have spoken on the phone, and she told us that if we are able to make the purchase, her brother will drive it to us. She seems to be a kind, generous person, and this is the kind of honest opportunity we have been looking for to create some stability for our family. 🏡 We are only waiting on word from the minister we are working with. But if anyone is able to provide support in this coming to fruition, we are incredibly grateful for your blessing. 🤍

We are treading water, today still, and we could use all the help possible at this moment…. If The Lord leads your heart to help, it would be a much needed blessing for us. 👑🫂🕊️ 🏡🤍You can either contact the hotel manager directly to help or you can contribute here and:

To the person who made a donation to our campaign, thank you so much.

To the person who sent a kind message, thank you. 

The hotel owner came in late, and we were just able to speak with him directly. And we are grateful he has given us more time. Tonight, our family will be safe. And we thank you. 

For those of you keeping us in prayer, please, help us keep praying. We have been asking for miracles, signs, and the Lord is definitely answering our prayers, and He has shown us incredible signs. If you are here with us, please, look for our update tomorrow.

We love you, in Christ, and may God bless and cover you all.

Love,

All of Us.

Thank you, to the sister who sent us $20. We appreciate your help. 🤍

Isaiah 58 reads:

“Shout it aloud, do not hold back.

    Raise your voice like a trumpet.

Declare to my people their rebellion

    and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.

For day after day they seek me out;

    they seem eager to know my ways,

as if they were a nation that does what is right

    and has not forsaken the commands of its God.

They ask me for just decisions

    and seem eager for God to come near them.

‘Why have we fasted,’ they say,

    ‘and you have not seen it?

Why have we humbled ourselves,

    and you have not noticed?’

“Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please

    and exploit all your workers.

Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife,

    and in striking each other with wicked fists.

You cannot fast as you do today

    and expect your voice to be heard on high.

 Is this the kind of fast I have chosen,

    only a day for people to humble themselves?

Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed

    and for lying in sackcloth and ashes?

Is that what you call a fast,

    a day acceptable to the Lord?

“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:

to loose the chains of injustice

    and untie the cords of the yoke,

to set the oppressed free

    and break every yoke?

 Is it not to share your food with the hungry

    and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—

when you see the naked, to clothe them,

    and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

Then your light will break forth like the dawn,

    and your healing will quickly appear;

then your righteousness will go before you,

    and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.

Then you will call, and the Lord will answer;

    you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.

“If you do away with the yoke of oppression,

    with the pointing finger and malicious talk,

 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry

    and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,

then your light will rise in the darkness,

    and your night will become like the noonday.

The Lord will guide you always;

    he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land

    and will strengthen your frame.

You will be like a well-watered garden,

    like a spring whose waters never fail.

Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins

    and will raise up the age-old foundations;

you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,

    Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

“If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath

    and from doing as you please on my holy day,

if you call the Sabbath a delight

    and the Lord’s holy day honorable,

and if you honor it by not going your own way

    and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,

 then you will find your joy in the Lord,

    and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land

    and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.”

For the mouth of the Lord has spoken."

Every day I struggle to live the Scripture I believe. But the past year and a half, I've been doing better than I ever have, even despite my shortcomings. Even when it's come to my response to people who have turned their backs, abandoned us, listened to demonic forces or others opinions of our circumstances, and people who have been downright evil in ways that I can yet to publicly address. 

Because when you meet the Lord, He CHANGES you. He does a new thing. I now realize how it is that one who truly believes in Him can look crazy to someone else. The crazy, illogical Savior who mixed spit and mud to heal the sight of a man who was blind. One can look especially crazy to those who declare their love with their mouths, when their hearts are far from Him.

Thank you, to the person who contributed a $20 donation to our campaign today. 🫂 Please know that we are thankful. We will be able to access it with the next 5-7 days. 🤍

If anyone seeing this may be willing to help provide immediate support towards food or our balance with the hotel, please send a message, or send it to:

Hi,

I pray blessings for anyone reading this message today. 🤍

It has been extremely difficult to make any sort of update with some of the responses we have had within the last few days; and we are tired of being given false hope. It is difficult to speak to what this means, because I am not a gossiper. I can only say what happened, and that can be hard for others to receive. And I am not at all bitter.

It is a lot to have a conversation with someone who promises you something, only to have a very different response from them the very next morning. (Today). It's a lot to talk with someone on the phone for hours, for them to put their children on the phone with mine, and get their hopes up about a sense of family and talks of a birthday celebration, and all the rest. 

It hurts.

When I made our last update, one of the only people to respond was a woman we didn't even reach out to, who was having a baby in the hospital that very day. 💗 Not one to believe in coincidences, I take that in itself as a sign of the new life that is soon coming for my own family.

A few days ago, we spoke with a pastor who said he would be working on some things and getting back to us soon. And we are waiting prayerfully for his response, and still, trying not to get our hopes up too much in case he doesn't call. 

And there is a lot more going on behind the scenes, even with our relatives.

Our situation has very much not changed, and we are struggling a bit. 💔 Yesterday, we didn't have much for food. Today, we again owe both yesterday and today's payment for our hotel. And we have no finances, for the next couple weeks. Today, we are two days without sleep. And we do not know what we are going to do. Today, the Lord is keeping us. 

We really don't believe in the Lord the way that others do. We fully grasp and understand that every bit of help, every prayer, every encouragement, has come directly from Yeshua— through those He has sent in our time of need. It has not been just people themselves, but the Lord.

There has been a lot of judgement, a lot of pride, a lot of arrogance. A lot of gossiping, a lot of seeking to misunderstand. A lot of being on the phone with people for several hours and saying over and again, "This is where we are, this is what's happening" and a lot of them hanging up the phone dismissing it, and going about their lives.

Today, I am grateful for Yahweh El Roi: The God Who Sees Me.

The God who sees my family. 

There are not three, or even two sides to every story.

There is only one—the story of the God who Sees. The One who sees us all. The Watchman, The Witness. The Father.

🤍

Thank you for anyone keeping us in prayer.

If anyone may be able to help us today, please, reach out. We are grateful. Thank you, and God bless you, each and every one.

Good morning, 🌄

If you are reading this message, I thank you, and I pray that you are well.

I understand it's been some time since our last update. We have shared so much so long now, and it's difficult to share when things fall through, or do not happen the way that we expected. Especially when we have been fortunate to have people rooting for us, and trying their hardest to help. So it was extremely hard for us to share when the camper fell through, and a rental, shortly after. 😞 While I will elaborate in detail in another post, the long of it, is that, when viewing the camper, it was found to be riddled with mold and not at all habitable (my husband has a serious mold allergy, and our children have respiratory issues). The short of it, is that the seller was dishonest. And there was no title. 🙁 It was devastating, to say the least, after the multiple conversations we had, and after telling our children that something had finally come through. 💔

But we have not given up hope.

And more than this, we are so very thankful for those in our corner who have tried to help our family. 

I have contacted multiple major RV manufacturers in hopes they may be willing to help, but there has been no response. Recently, we learned of a non-denominational, public charity/ministry that happens to be run by a couple who are RV enthusiasts. We are dividing a plan to contact them, with hope that they may be willing to support our cause in any manner the Lord may lead. Currently, we are fortunate to have two people who are onboard with being part of reaching out. ✨ But more voices may better ensure they hear our plea. If you have contributed to our campaign or provided support in any manner since its creation, please consider being a part of our voice. If we may be able to add you to this letter, please send us a message. ✉️ 

Today, we are grateful to be safe. But we are also one day behind in payment for the hotel where we have been staying. The owner has been kind to try to work with us because of our circumstances, but we cannot pay for yesterday and today, and we are worried. If anyone may be able to help today, we would sincerely appreciate it. Please.

Any immediate help can be sent to:

To everyone still praying for us, wishing us well and hoping for the best, to anyone who has endured and has helped however they can, we appreciate you so much. 

God truly has not abandoned us.

We thank you, and we pray for God's blessings for you in abundance. 

Thank you, with my whole heart, on behalf of my family.

🕊️

12PM: A grateful thank you to the person who kindly made a $100 donation this afternoon towards our goal. 🤍 We truly appreciate your help. 🫂

Kind words can go a very long way. 

There are many brothers and sisters in Christ, on every corner of the Earth battling so much. Regardless of where they come from, regardless of what they have, what their circumstances are. Many of them aren't sharing it. Many of them are "the strong friend". Many of them ARE the go-to people for others in their lives. And many of them don't feel so strong at all, most times.

Please check up on your strong friends.

Please pray sincerely for others more quickly than responding with prayer hands.

The Lord God sees you intervening for others, and He sees them where they are, and what's in their hearts.

There's so much power in prayer. 

Gathering together in prayer is important, because it does the one main thing that the enemy cannot stand, and that's to bring the presence of the Holy Spirit, where He is needed most.

Life is so hard. I thank each and every one of you for seeing us, for receiving our vulnerability. For blessing our children. 

Sending the biggest hug to those who have been kind to us. 

Thank you for continuing to share our family's campaign. According to Givesendgo, each share can potentially on average raise $35 in donations. A single share can increase the possibility that people who are willing and able may support our family's cause. One share can make all the difference. 🤍

Thank you, with my whole heart, and God bless you. 

🫂

"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had."

—Romans 15:5

Hi everyone,

I pray that you all are well. 🤍

I want to take a moment to thank the people praying for my family. The people who have sent emails, messages, offering encouragement; those gathering others dedicating themselves to consistent, intentional, heartfelt prayer for breakthrough on our behalf. And those sharing our story, our circumstances, and reaching out to others on our behalf, regardless of the response. We have remained prayerful, and we are truly thankful for each and every one of you. 👑

Since Sunday, we have been in contact with the man who'd agreed to sell us the 1998 camper for $2,800. He reached out to us, and expressed that while he needs to sell his camper, he would like to be able to bless us, after all we have endured. And he has continued to try to hold off on selling, in hopes that we can acquire the funds. 

The last few days, we have been doing our best to stay afloat, and maintaining the hotel. At the time that I'm writing this, we have yet to pay for today's stay. But God has touched the heart of the hotel owner to be patient with us. 🤍 By tomorrow afternoon, we should receive the $1,200 in donations that were made by the kind people who contributed via the campaign to the goal of raising $2,800 for this camper. A small portion of those funds would be used to make the payment that we owe. But if we can raise the remaining funds over the next 48 hours, we would have a new home. 

We are currently $1,600  away from the goal, and away from the possibility of gaining some stability so that we are able to move forward. Safety and shelter without the expense of the hotel. And a place for our little ones to call home. On Thursday, we will have $900 of our own income to add to this amount. 

A few days ago, I contacted 5 of the world's top RV manufacturers, in an attempt to make direct contact with their presidents, general managers and CEOs; I detailed our family's circumstances, and I humbly requested to speak with them further, and for their consideration of donating a camper/travel trailer to our family. We have not received a response. We have also humbled ourselves to seek help from relatives who are aware of our circumstances, and we have received cold responses.

I have composed a list of 46 churches that I will be contacting over the next two days. I am praying they may be willing to contribute to our cause. 

I understand it is a lot to ask of any one person. But a lot of people willing to work together, to help our family in this time, could make all the difference.

We are sincerely grateful for the few friends, the brothers and sisters, and the complete strangers the Lord has sent to help us through this. For the people who have helped even though we haven't spoken at length. To the ones who have read every update. For those who walked with us when they were going through their own things, and the ones who have spoken to us multiple times at length.

This is the biggest thing to detail since my last update. This is an answered prayer. I pray for those who will see this, that you will continue to hang on for us. Someone has extended a job opportunity and connections to a campground that would rent to us. We just have to make it there. Purchasing this camper would be step one. From there, we are working towards returning to Illinois to obtain our documents, then onward to the campground and employment opportunity. 

We are trying so hard to make this happen for our daughters. Please help us continue to share this campaign. It is urgent. 

Please kindly note. No contribution towards this goal is too small. Any donations made via the campaign can be requested 72 hours after they are made. Once the request is approved, the funds will be released/received within 3-5 business days.

Any immediate contact or support can be made here:

PayPal + Venmo: @newjade194

I will do my best to make any updates in real time.

P.S. We have considered something. To eliminate the hotel expense, especially if we are unable to reach our goal in time, it could be a great idea to be able to camp at a grounds for a few days. It would help to have an 8-10 person tent. If someone may have one they are willing to donate, or if someone may be able to contribute to obtaining one, please accept our genuine thanks. We are trying to maintain the funds we will have to ensure that they go towards something more permanent for our family —the camper, whatever He has in store for us. We have to do something to change things. And we are incredibly grateful for any help.

We thank you, and we love you. God bless you all. 🤍🫂

"You cannot fast as you do today

    and expect your voice to be heard on high.

Is this the kind of fast I have chosen,

    only a day for people to humble themselves?

Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed

    and for lying in sackcloth and ashes?

Is that what you call a fast,

    a day acceptable to the Lord?

“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:

to loose the chains of injustice

    and untie the cords of the yoke,

to set the oppressed free

    and break every yoke?

 Is it not to share your food with the hungry

    and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—

when you see the naked, to clothe them,

    and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

Then your light will break forth like the dawn,

    and your healing will quickly appear;

then your righteousness will go before you,

    and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.

Then you will call, and the Lord will answer;

    you will cry for help, and He will say: Here am I.

“If you do away with the yoke of oppression,

    with the pointing finger and malicious talk,

 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry

    and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,

then your light will rise in the darkness,

    and your night will become like the noonday.

The Lord will guide you always;

    He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land

    and will strengthen your frame.

You will be like a well-watered garden,

    like a spring whose waters never fail.

Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins

    and will raise up the age-old foundations;

you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,

    Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

“If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath

    and from doing as you please on my holy day,

if you call the Sabbath a delight

    and the Lord’s holy day honorable,

and if you honor it by not going your own way

    and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,

then you will find your joy in the Lord,

    and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land

    and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.”

For the mouth of the Lord has spoken."

—Isaiah 58:3-14

7:25PM: To the person who made a $45 donation to the camper, thank you! 🤍 Every bit puts us closer to the goal to be able to purchase this camper. We appreciate your help. 

Good morning beautiful people, 🌞 

(It may be afternoon once this is actually posted, and if it is, good afternoon! ☺️).

The Lord placed it on my heart to share this message today. 🤍 While it won't be every aspect of my life, it is a great portion of my testimony. Rather than sending it to a few people individually, I feel led to share it publicly. I don't know how long this message will be; and depending on this, I understand a lot of people may not read it. But I am going to write from my heart. I am going to be respectful in speaking about others I may include; I am going to pray against the enemy telling me that I am shaming myself. And I am going to pray that the Lord uses me in the way that He chooses today. Amen. 🤍

When I was a child, I was born into a broken home. To my mother, I was a miracle; after having my brother, who was physically disabled and autistic, she had been told she would never have other children. And for nearly ten years, she didn't. To my father, I was an inconvenience, and he abandoned me. I couldn't understand why he didn't want to know me. I blamed myself for a long time, and it affected many aspects of my life. I didn't yet know the Father that I was praying for, my whole life.

In my early, young adult years, I swamped myself with work. At times, I would work two full-time jobs. I didn't have to think about the things I tried to bury within myself, or the loneliness I felt not having family or friends. I pushed myself beyond my limits, and the health challenges that I faced. I would eventually find myself a practicing Buddhist. I was trying so hard to feel I belong here; like I had control of my life. Trying to find my purpose. I eventually came to a day where I was completely shattered. I wanted to surrender. I wanted to let go. Meditation, and chanting words (and incantations) that I didn't really understand, we're not serving me; it didn't answer any of the questions I'd had, nor did it fill the loneliness and sadness I'd felt for so long. I hadn't realized in those times, that I didn't know WHO I was praying/chanting/talking to. (And Who I wasn't talking to.) 😕 And I was afraid I wouldn't be here. Instead of finding comfort or encouragement from anyone I reached out to, I was told that everything I'd been experiencing inwardly for so long and after years of trauma, was made up, and just "in [my] head". I didn't know that I needed the Lord to carry me. I didn't know how many times He'd kept my life, each and every breath I breathed, a literal praise to His name, taken for granted. 😞

This was the first day that I cried out to Jesus. Yeshua, a God I wasn't entirely sure was there. And in the same way as so many people, I pleaded if He was real, for Him to reveal Himself to me. I begged Him to send me a best friend. Someone who would love me, someone who would never abandon me. A best friend. It was a selfish prayer for someone who didn't know repentance, and the weight of God's Sacrifice of His perfect Son for all of our sins. But I felt truly alone. 💔

More than a decade later, and despite my family's current circumstances, I am living many answered prayers. The Father that I always wanted, adopted me. He forgave me my sins. He mended me. He made me. He loves me. He's molding me. And He gave me my beautiful family, so that I will never be alone again. Into eternity. Wow. Sometimes, I feel like so many people forget, families will be together in heaven. It gives me peace to know that, if anything happens. Consider entire generations of a family who made it. Consider generations of families, patiently waiting for their loved ones. My own parents, who destroyed our family, in ignorance of what they did not know, still do not understand this, more than 30 years later.

I am grateful every day, and this is why I have fought so hard for my family, who are mine into eternity, by God's divine grace.

🤍

I read something today that I want to share. 

Someone asked a question, "Why is James 2:24 opposed to Romans 3:28?" (Romans is one of my favorite books of the Bible. 🤗) 

This was the reply that someone gave:

"It’s not. James 2:24 reads, “You see that a man is to be declared righteous by works and not by faith alone.” Romans 3:28 reads, “For we consider that a man is declared righteous by faith apart from works of law.”

When writing to the Romans, Paul was speaking about works of the Jewish Law, which governed the Hebrews’ spiritual and physical lives. Taking scriptures out of context and claiming there is a contradiction really doesn’t work. You’re ignoring the context in which they were written.

The second chapter of James goes on to state that faith without works is dead. When you take in knowledge of God and Jesus, you begin to develop faith. Building upon that, you begin to show by works how strong your faith is. You prove your faith by what you do and what you say."

My husband and I have done our best to remain faithful. And we are so deeply grateful for all of the people who are faithful to the Lord our God, who have shown us His love in our greatest time of need.

Today, I was able to request the funds that were raised via the campaign a few days ago, to help us with the purchase of a camper. In a few days time, we will receive $1,189 from the donations that were made. This coming week, we will have $900 of our own income to add to this blessing. 

We have continued to contact owners for a place to rent, in case they may be willing to work with us. And there hasn't been a great response. With the eviction on our records, and expired state ID and loss of personal documentation, it is not realistically feasible for us to land an apartment/home in such immediate circumstances—unless that would be the case: someone willing to work with us. But being able to acquire a camper could greatly improve our situation, most importantly for our girls. 

If there is anyone willing to provide support in any manner: sharing our campaign, keeping us in prayer, sharing our story with your church family, searching for campers in decent livable condition for a low cost, helping us to make contact with top RV manufacturers, (ex. Jayco, Camping World, etc.) making a contribution of any amount, please know that now is an urgent time. 

We still have to maintain from one day to the next. We still have to cover the cost of living, and food, which is hard to do. Even before we receive the donations that were made. And we would like to make the best of the funds that we have been fortunate to raise, and put them directly towards something that will drastically improve our circumstances. 🏡🙏🏽🕊️

Now is the time to press in. Please.

Spiritual warfare is real.

I wish I could share the nasty, mean-spirited messages I have received the last two days  from complete strangers, and from my own parents, who I hope will one day see this message. 

I wish I could detail the abandonment and the abuse I suffered at the hands of each of you, that has continued far into my adulthood, as you pointed fingers and blamed one another and as you deceive yourselves with a false gospel and twist Scripture from a holy book that you do not read.

Our faith is not a joke. It is real to us, more than anything else, and it is all we have.

There is so much more I can say. But God will speak for us. God will keep showing up. God is here, when no one else is. 

Things will not always be this way. This world has to go, will fade away, for the one that is coming. 

I pray for a heart that isn't hardened, every day, because on that day, I simply want to be counted.

We are told to bless those who curse us. Today, Lord, bless them.

I often think about David. The little boy who, by faith, was strong enough to defeat a giant that terrified the many men too afraid to battle him. The boy who was chosen to be king, the one from who's lineage comes our Savior, Yeshua. I like to think on David and imagine what he was like. Knowing that he was the closest to God's heart than any person born, until this very day. A man who put another man on the front lines of battle, who murdered him to take his wife. And yet, and still, HE is described as a man after God's own heart. On the human scales of forgiveness, I would be nowhere near as bad as what David did. So what do God's scales say? And how could it be that David is closest to God's heart when "no one is good, not even one"?

The following words describe the heart of David as seen in his own writings:

Humble – Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath. Psalm 62:9

Reverent – I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies. Psalm 18:3

Respectful – Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and my body with grief. Psalm 31:9

Trusting – The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1

Loving – I love you, O Lord, my strength. Psalm 18:1

Devoted – You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. Psalm 4:7

Recognition – I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. Psalm 9:1

Faithful – Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:6

Obedient – Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart. Psalm 119:34

Repentant – For the sake of your name, O Lord, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. Psalm 25:11

David’s example is a great road map for how we are to live our lives.

The message I received from my dad today, brought me back to where I needed to be. It brought me to one of my favorite Psalms, Psalm 27, which was written by David. The closest to God's heart. 

It reads:

"The Lord is my light and my salvation—

    whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the stronghold of my life—

    of whom shall I be afraid?

 When the wicked advance against me

    to devour me,

it is my enemies and my foes

    who will stumble and fall.

Though an army besiege me,

    my heart will not fear;

though war break out against me,

    even then I will be confident.

 One thing I ask from the Lord,

    this only do I seek:

that I may dwell in the house of the Lord

    all the days of my life,

to gaze on the beauty of the Lord

    and to seek him in his temple.

For in the day of trouble

    he will keep me safe in his dwelling;

he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent

    and set me high upon a rock.

 Then my head will be exalted

    above the enemies who surround me;

at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;

    I will sing and make music to the Lord.

 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;

    be merciful to me and answer me.

 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”

    Your face, Lord, I will seek.

Do not hide your face from me,

    do not turn your servant away in anger;

    you have been my helper.

Do not reject me or forsake me,

    God my Savior.

 Though my father and mother forsake me,

    the Lord will receive me.

 Teach me your way, Lord;

    lead me in a straight path

    because of my oppressors.

Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,

    for false witnesses rise up against me,

    spouting malicious accusations.

 I remain confident of this:

    I will see the goodness of the Lord

    in the land of the living.

 Wait for the Lord;

    be strong and take heart

    and wait for the Lord."

What beautiful encouragement. What a beautiful heart. 🤍

I thank the complete strangers who have helped my family in any capacity this year with my whole heart. It is not others that we do it for. It's the Lord.

May He allow us grace and mercy as we wait upon Him. 

God bless you all abundantly, and God keep and love each and every one of you. 

🤍

Good morning brothers and sisters,

I pray you receive this update.

Yesterday evening, we were so very blessed to have two more people contribute to our cause, who made donations via Givesendgo. One of which was a very generous donation of $1,000. We are so very grateful for your help, and I wish I had words to express this. It was very late yesterday evening when we saw the news. Thank you, so very much, on behalf of us all. 🫂🤍

I do have to share what has transpired since yesterday.

The man we had been in contact with regarding the camper, his stance had changed. After three days of speaking on the phone, informing him of our circumstances, thanking him for his patience, and letting him know that we were trying to have help acquiring the funds to purchase his camper, he seemed to become irritable with us. He sent us a text message in the evening that he was going to move forward with selling the camper, that we were wasting his time.

After everything we had spoken about. After pleading with him to give us more time. There is nothing more we could have said or asked for. 💔

The last few days, we have done our best to get the word out about the camper, to ask people to share the campaign so that it could gain traction and maybe more people would see it and consider making a contribution to our cause. We are very fortunate that, in the last two days, nine donations were made to help us make purchasing this camper a possibility.

7 of the nine donations were made via Givesendgo. This means that we do not have immediate access to them. 72 hours after each donation is made, it can be requested to be paid to our account; Once the request is approved by Givesendgo, the funds are released to our account and received within 3-5 business days. 

Two of the nine donations received via our payment apps totaled $55. Yesterday, this was the only money we had, and because of our situation, the hotel owner agreed to allow us to pay what we could in good faith that we would provide the rest today. So we gave him the $55 we had. Today, we owe him the remaining balance, and we don't know what to do.

I always try my best to explain things in detail, and I know it's a lot of writing. It is difficult to convey so much, and this is why we always extend ourselves to communicate further with anyone who is willing, (email, phone) so that the specifics of our family's situation are not lost on those who are simply reading. 

We are so very grateful for the help we have received, but even today, we are still facing our immediate situation.

There is so much I want to write, and I don't know what else I can add at this time. 😔 In addition to our immediate concern owing the hotel for yesterday, my health issues, absolutely everything, we are also currently worried about a good friend of ours we haven't heard from in some time now. We ask you to offer prayers for his safety, that he is okay. 🫂 There's just so much going on.

And if you feel this post doesn't make sense, I apologize. But I hope that you would reach out to consider communicating further. 

In this time, I plead with anyone seeing this to please continue to pray for my family, to share our campaign, to reach out to others on our behalf.

We're anticipating my husband's income in the next five days. Even still, our account is overdrawn. We know that these funds are already spent, because they will go towards keeping a roof over our head, as they always do. 

This situation is so much bigger than us. We do not have the means ourselves to come out of it. And this is why we have been pleading for help. We cannot get ahead for drowning. 💔 We are so very grateful for those who have had the heart to help us. Please understand that it is not about the money. We have been trying to have a place to call home so that we can do what needs to be done to actually function and move forward. We have tried so very hard, and it has been letdown after the next. We have been turned down from places to rent because of the eviction, or told we were accepted only to then be turned away; we have come into agreements for sales for campers, trailers or mobile homes and had them sold from under us. 

I have contacted five major RV manufacturers asking them to please consider donating a camper/trailer to our family. 

It is not about the money.

We just need a place to live. We are cut off on all sides. 

We do not know what to do.

Please help.

We understand that most of the people who have helped are just regular every day people like us. But this is so much bigger than us. We need help.

Please send a message. Please ask for our number. Please share the campaign. Please help us reach out to churches. We have contacted organizations, such as Habitat for Humanity. We have proof of all our efforts.

Please don't give up on my family.

If you are able to help, please reach out. I do my best to share any help received here, even if you would prefer to remain anonymous, so that the other brothers and sisters can see what has been done. 🫂

To the person who was kind to make the generous donation, when Givesendgo sends us a notification, it shows us your email address. I just want to say, most humbly, thank you from the bottom of my heart. We are praying the Lord will make a way for us to make the best use of these funds when they are available. We are not giving up hope, and we hope that you don't give up on us. We thank you for the love of God you have shown us, for our little girls. For your prayers and for your kind words. Please send us a message. 🫂🤍

Thank you so very much, to the nine special people who made the time, the effort to try to help us yesterday. I'm praying God allows you to feel our sincere gratitude, and that Yeshua blesses you for all you have done. 

You HAVE been our friends, you HAVE been our family. You have been the beautiful hands and feet of a loving God. 

We are so grateful for you.

We love you, in Him.

🤍

"Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord."

3PM:

To the person who reached out to help us cover what we owed for today, thank you. 🫂 We are now only $25 shy of being completely caught up, and we truly appreciate your help. 🤍 And thank you to those who have offered to look out for campers. Thank you for your help. 🤍

8:30PM: We are fortunate to share that we are paid in full for yesterday and today, with the help of a brother. Thank you so much, and God bless you. 🤍🫂

1:45PM

Our sincere gratitude to anyone who is keeping up with our updates. 🤍🫂

I am aiming to provide these updates in real time, as things transpire, for the sake of transparency and because this situation is very much real to us. 

Early this afternoon, we spoke with the owner of the 1998 camper who has agreed to sell it to us for $2,800 (the amount that we are trying to raise to purchase said finished camper in full, and pick up immediately). He has been very communicative via phone the past few days; he's expressed multiple times that people have shown interest in the immediate purchase. Today, he shared that he recently had an injury that's resulted in a temporary unpaid leave from work, and that he has been recovering. He will be leaving town tomorrow, and he had been hoping to sell the camper before then. At least five people have reached out, and he has declined their offers. Rather than dismissing us altogether, he has presented an offer to work with us to allow us to purchase the camper. If we are able to provide him a minimum of $1,000 today, he is willing to sign a written agreement that we can take the camper today and make payments in increments in an agreed upon time. But if not, this man will sell this camper today. 😞 

And we will be again at square one just trying to find a place to live, and a way out of this paralyzing cycle. 

With consideration to my ID and our identification, the challenges of finding a place to rent as well as the consistent struggle to maintain a hotel, this would be a viable option for us to truly take a step to improve our family's situation. It does not solve every issue. But even immediately, it will eliminate the costly expense of the hotel, and we can navigate our next steps. 

If anyone is willing to provide support, please send us a message: newbeginnings0244@gmail.com 

If you may have a pastor or know someone who can help, please call us. 

We will continue to update the help that we receive, here. Immediate support can be received:

Please help. Thank you and God bless you all. 🤍

✨✨✨A heartfelt thank you to the person who donated $100 via the campaign just after 1:30PM this afternoon. We truly appreciate your kindness, and your help. God bless you. 🤍✨✨✨

2:30PM Thank you, for calling to pray with us. We know the Lord tells us where two or more are gathered in His name, there He is also. Thank you for hearing us, for being patient with us, for your encouragement and your kindness. It's greatly appreciated. 🫂

3:45PM Someone made a $40 donation to our Venmo. Thank you! 🤍

Good morning brothers and sisters,

Isaiah 6:8 reads,

"Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying:

"Whom shall I send,

And who will go for Us?"

Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."

 🫂

So often, we can ask God to use us. To show others who He is. To help people. To do incredible things. But when the opportunity shows, can we recognize what we have asked Him for? What we have offered ourselves to do? Maybe if it doesn't look like what we expected?

My family has endured so much, and for so long now. To try to find balance, regain our footing, and truly improve things once and for all for our daughters, I have humbly reached out to thousands of people. People of faith. Church leaders and entire congregations. Organizations and non-profits. Self-proclaimed philanthropists, activists and influencers. Conservatives, homeschool families, and big name companies. And none of them have responded to my pleas.

The help that we have been so very fortunate to receive, the help that has kept our children safe, has come from regular every day people who's hearts the Lord touched to see us as we are. It hurts to go through the mental list of all the people that we have reached out to who just couldn't receive us. 💔

We are trying desperately to raise $2,800 for a fully furnished camper, to have a new place to call home. In less than 48 hours, our lives could be forever changed. The owner has been turning down the offers he has been receiving, to allow us the time to acquire the funds to purchase.

Please help my family to reach this goal, which is realistically obtainable with your help. In the last few days, we have been fortunate to receive six donations totaling a few hundred dollars. 

If you are unable to contribute financially but feel led to help, please share this campaign with at least one other person.

If you are willing to assist but would like to communicate further, please send us a message at newbeginnings0244@gmail.com

A donation in any amount can make all the difference. No donation at this time is too small for this urgent cause: what will serve as a new home for us after more than a year of incredibly difficult challenges. Any donations made to the campaign can be requested 72 hours after they are made; Once said request is approved, the funds are released within 3-5 business days, at which point we can access them. 

If you may be willing to provide immediate support, please send it to:

PayPal + Venmo: @newjade194

And I will update the campaign in regards to your donation. 

Please, help us go home. It means so much more than you know.

Thank you, and God bless and love each and every one. 🤍

Good morning,

Please, see our most recent update. We have found a 1998 camper, and we would be so deeply grateful for your support in raising the funds we would need to be able to acquire what could be a new home for our family. Currently, we are trying to raise $2800 within the next 48 hours. The camper is furnished, and the purchase will include a small generator. It is less than 30 miles away from where we are currently. The owner is aware of our circumstances, and while he is unable to donate the vehicle, he has since turned down other interested parties to allow us a chance to acquire the funds for the purchase. This is the kind of opportunity we have been praying for. To find a camper such as this, at this price, is a blessing. We spoke with him again this morning, and he has reiterated this, saying that he would be happy to see this change our lives. But he has only agreed to hold it until the end of the day, Friday.

We have prayed so hard that those who have walked with us this far, would not give up. That the Lord would continue to allow them to see us, that he may help them endure with us and bear this burden until we truly come out on the other side. Please, stick with us through this today. If anyone reading this may have seen this and been hesitant, let today be the day that that God uses you to change the lives of three deserving little girls by giving them a home. 🫂 Let today be the day that you share this campaign, reach out to your church, your pastor, of you've a good one. We truly need your support in this time.

To the person who saw yesterday's update and made a contribution via the campaign, thank you. 🫂

2 Corinthians 13:14 "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen."

"Almighty and Everlasting God,

In Your infinite grace and boundless generosity, You have showered us with blessings that we can scarcely comprehend. As we come before You today, we are mindful of our need for financial provision—a need that You understand far better than we do ourselves.

Lord, we come to You with open hands and open hearts, asking that You would pour out Your blessings upon us as You have promised in Your Word. In Malachi 3:10, You say, "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it."

Father, we stand on this promise. We commit to being faithful in our giving, trusting that as we do so, You will unlock the floodgates of heaven and provide for our needs in ways that surpass our understanding. Help us to remember that every good and perfect gift comes from above, from You, the Father of the heavenly lights.

Give us the wisdom to steward Your blessings wisely, not for our own gain but for the advancement of Your kingdom. Strengthen our faith so that we may trust in Your provision even when the path ahead seems uncertain.

Lord, we do not seek wealth for its own sake, but for the opportunity it provides to be a blessing to others. May our financial resources be a tool in Your hands, used to spread Your love and compassion to a world in need.

We humbly ask for Your guidance in our financial affairs, and we place our trust in Your loving care. May our lives reflect a deep trust in You, not just in words, but through our actions and decisions every day.

We offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, our rock and our redeemer, who provides for us in every season of life.

Amen."

God bless you always, love to you in Christ who is King.

(MONDAY)

I hope that anyone who may be reading our updates, is well. 🤍 Please, share this urgent message.  I hesitated to make this update yesterday, and partially due to the response to my last update, which was fairly serious and honestly received almost no response. 😕 I still don't know everyone who may be choosing to keep in tune with my family, unless it's just the couple people who reached out to check on us most recently, for whom we are truly grateful. 🫂 I would rather (and normally) be a private person; it is stressful, humbling, daunting and so much more, to share so much about my family's circumstances—our lives— free for all to judge. (And probably poorly). 💔But God, who knows all, is for us. I remind myself of this daily, and I thank Him for every day He has given us. And those who know Him, He will allow them to see our hearts.

Yesterday (Monday) afternoon, we made contact with someone via marketplace who is selling a 1998 camper; The camper has been well maintained, with only some minor cosmetic repairs needed, and had some small updates done by the owner. The oven is essentially new, as he never used it. It is large enough to accommodate all of us, and is just the right size for us to tow. After speaking and sharing our circumstances, the owner agreed to include all of the current furnishings and appliances if we are able to purchase. This includes a small generator. But best of all, it is less than thirty miles away from where we are currently.  

He has agreed to sell it to us for a mere $2800. 

So many times, we have come so very close to our situation potentially changing forever, even in one day. And where just a bit of help could mean everything. For those of you who have been here, or have read our previous updates, I have detailed these experiences. 

The man that we spoke on the phone with yesterday afternoon was polite. He seemed to be a kind person. And he seemed to share regard for our situation. All the same, similar to other experiences we have had, it is merely transactional. But if we were fortunate to have the means, we could act quickly, before it could be sold to someone else.

I know that everyone's enduring something in one way or another. I know that it isn't any less difficult, so to speak, just because it may not be the same as our current struggle. But today, I am once again humbly pleading, as we are so very close here, for the help of anyone who is able. Towards the camper, or gas for transit. For any part of this opportunity. 

Before today's end, we can have a new beginning.

Please, help let it be today. 🏡

Send us a message. We have pictures of the camper, and screenshots of our correspondence with the seller we can share if you would be willing to help. And for those actively praying for us, we thank you, and God love you.

Good morning brothers and sisters in Christ, and to anyone who may see my message today,

We are preparing to leave our hotel, as we cannot keep our room. The hotel is completely booked, and we will not be able to pay, for yesterday or today, which we owe. And the last thing we need is to have the police involved.

We have been reaching out for help for days 😔

More than this, our car battery has now been dead for days. Which means we literally will not be able to go anywhere. In addition to the AC not already working, and not being able to keep the room. And none of which changes the issues with my health.

We have nowhere to go. 

We have been hoping to get in touch with anyone willing to help to speak about this in detail. But there is literally nothing we can do.

If anyone may be willing to help us purchase a battery so that we can have use of our vehicle, we are more than grateful.

A new battery is nearly $100. We will also need the tool to remove the old battery and replace it with the new one, and just a little bit of gas, so that we can turn it on. We are literally stranded today, and we have no one to ask for help.

If you may be willing to help, please send any support to:

"Through the Lord 's mercies we are not consumed,

Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning;

Great is Your faithfulness. "The Lord is my portion," says my soul,

"Therefore I hope in Him!" The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,

To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly

For the salvation of the Lord."

— Lamentations 3:22-26

Thank you, to the person who made a donation to our campaign today. We are thankful for your support. God bless you. 🤍

Good evening,

I want to share this prayer this evening with anyone who will see it. 🙏🏽

"Heavenly Father, in the quiet corners of my spirit where shadows have taken hold, I seek Your radiant presence today and forever. Please forgive me when I lose sight of Your light, when I become entangled in the dusk of our circumstances. I exalt You for Your unceasing work in my life, even when unseen. I trust in Your protection and guidance for my family, my children, knowing that Your light is the dawn that never fails. In your time, at your word, God. In the loving name of Yeshua, who is the true Light, I find solace and strength. Amen."

👑

Thank you to those still praying for us. We are grateful. It has been so hard not be afraid. Even as I write this, I am in so much pain; my head hurts so badly. I cannot eat. There are serious physical signs of infection spreading in my body. 💔 We have not slept because we were unable to pay our room. I am in tears because I just want everything to finally be alright. Today, we had no idea how we would maintain, and I'm still so sick that I don't know what else we can do. We're pressing into prayer and holding on to hope.

To those who have reached out to pray for us, please know how grateful we are. We truly need it.

And if you received my email, thank you, with my whole heart.

Thank you, and God bless you,

Us

Good evening,

God bless anyone seeing this message. And a heartfelt thank you to anyone still reading our updates.🫂

I was hesitant to share this update, and I'm trying to avoid over sharing, but I am in need of prayer in this time, for healing. 🤍

Aside from our circumstances that we continue to face daily, I have been experiencing some serious health issues. A lot of it is in regards to things I have mentioned in previous updates. Several months ago, I expressed fear of a serious tooth infection spreading in my body, and possibly to my brain. I am feeling the physical effects, and I am afraid. This, coupled with the pain and issues I suffer due to lupus, have avalanched, and I am feeling a year's worth of stress that feels like it is literally killing me. 💔 I have been basically bed-ridden the last four days (and today makes five) due to the pain and discomfort I am experiencing. My head has been hurting incredibly bad, what feels like my brain itself. This is in addition to chest and back pains, and a myriad of other symptoms I would have to make time to record to share in full transparency. (Please, if you are unfamiliar with lupus, consider reading more on what it is like to have this chronic illness.) I literally have not been able to eat in days, and only water and prayer has been sustaining me. I have not been much use to my family, which simply does not work in our situation, and which I know has been stressful on my husband. And while he's been trying to help me, there is just really not so much he can do. While I'm trying my best to convey the seriousness of this, I just don't know what else I can write. 😞 I have been putting my health on the back burner for so long, and with our situation, we have consistently kept maintaining our hotel room in priority, for our children's sake. There just is no extra wiggle room or extra income for me to address the serious issues I am enduring. 

Just days ago, also, my state ID expired. That, coupled with not having the proper documentation or insurance, means not having access to necessary health care. And it means more than that, for all of us, if you have been following our journey. Any potential renter would require a valid state ID. And now, I do not have one. 

To make matters worse, we will need to replace our car battery. There were a few times in TN that we had to have help getting a jump, and most recently we experienced the same here; While we have not been driving, we have been starting/running the vehicle just to keep it going. But it was during one of these times a few days ago when we realized that the battery was dead. We were fortunate to have help to figure this out, with people who tried multiple times to jump it. While it worked initially, it has proven that we simply need to replace the battery altogether, as the people who helped suggested. We are unable to do so ourselves. Not having a working battery leaves us in a dangerous place. It means we are without working use of our vehicle, which is better than nothing, in any emergency. Now, we cannot even drive to the ER if I need to go. 

Aside from this, we have continued to search for places for rent. We do a lot of our searching via marketplace, as with our current credit and eviction on our records, we would be deemed ineligible to rent from most real estate companies (as we have experienced). We have run into scammers, but even more so than that, we have encountered people who just aren't following through as promised —even down to refusing to return phonecalls after weeks of stringing us along. We have even reached out to some owners/renters, sharing a picture of our family and trying to drive home the point that we are looking to give our girls a new home. We have even had some dry, cold replies as curt as "I don't think you would be a good fit." without having spoken to us by any means. Meanwhile, we are still trying daily to maintain a hotel room. While we have considered camping, it's dangerously hot, and it is not a feasible option for the kiddos. The truck alone is extremely hot, and we don't have a working ac. 

It has been discouraging to say the least. But we are pressing forward each day. We are continuing to endure all of this, and it is still so very heavy. 

I am sharing this update today to ask for prayers, but also help from anyone who may be willing/able in this time, whatever that may look like. 

If I can be honest, I am afraid. 💔 I just want to be okay.

If the Lord leads you, please know we are so deeply, sincerely grateful. 🫂

We are all just passing through. So be kind to one another, as love is the only thing you can take with you.

God bless you, in Yeshua's name.

🫂🕊️👑

I just wanted to share this beautiful prayer tonight. I pray that it blesses someone. God loves you.🕊️👑🤍

"Heavenly Father, in the quietness of this sacred moment, I come before You with a heart open and ready for Your call. Lead me courageously into the lands You have prepared for me, lands rich with Your presence and purpose. Help me to lay aside the chains of yesterday, that I may fully embrace the promise of tomorrow. I place my trust in You, Lord, for I believe that Your plans for me are laced with goodness, even when they stretch me beyond my comfort. May I walk in obedience and faith, knowing that in doing so, blessings abundant await. In the precious name of Yeshua, my guide and my cornerstone, I pray."

Amen.

🤍

Today, I'd like to share this encouraging word and prayer from my women's Bible app. It is centered on Proverbs 14:30, which reads:

'A sound heart is life to the body,

But envy is rottenness to the bones.'

🤍

"In a world resplendent with digital showcases, the delicate threads of our hearts can easily become entangled in a web of comparison. The endless stream of images and narratives on social media, pristine and poised, invites a subtle yet corrosive competition for our joy. The temptation to peer into the window of another's life and measure our own worth against their highlights is as old as time, yet amplified in our connected age.

Let us reflect on a simple truth found in the wisdom of Proverbs, where it is written that a tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot. In the quiet corners of our minds, we recognize that the peace we long for cannot be captured in the fleeting and the superficial. It is a peace that blossoms from within, a tranquility that springs from an awareness of the Divine at work in our own lives.

Imagine, for a moment, setting aside the lens of envy and gazing instead through a lens of gratitude. Picture the shackles of discontent falling away as you take stock of the unique tapestry of your life, woven with threads of God's grace and purpose. This is the invitation extended to you today: to cherish the singular narrative God is crafting with your days, to relish the beauty in the journey of others without diminishing the value of your own.

Let us not surrender our joy to the adversary's ploys, for the tactics of comparison are but a mirage meant to distract and dishearten. God has endowed us with the fortitude to resist the lure of envy and to embrace a life of contentment. Let us raise our voices in gratitude for the manifold blessings bestowed upon us, and let us rejoice wholeheartedly in the flourishing of our neighbors. For in celebrating the movements of God's hand in every life, we find the truest form of community and fulfillment.

'Gracious and Loving Father, in the quiet sanctuary of Your presence, I find the courage to lay down the burdens of comparison. Forgive me for the moments when my eyes have wandered from the treasure trove of Your blessings to the mirage of another's journey. Cultivate within me a garden of contentment, where the fruits of Your spirit can flourish and nourish all who enter.

Thank you for the tapestry of my life, uniquely woven by Your hand. Help me to embrace my own story with grace and to celebrate the stories of others with genuine joy. May my heart remain steadfast in the assurance of Your love and purpose for me. With every breath, I choose to praise You for the gifts You've lovingly bestowed and the gifts You've given to those around me.

In the name of Jesus, who is the wellspring of our contentment, I pray."

Amen

I pray that this message and prayer bring you comfort, encouragement and hope.

🤍

Hi,

Blessings to anyone reading this update today.

🤍

I do not have words to write about what has happened since our last post.

But I am grateful for the revelation now rather than later.

We are sorely disappointed to share that we have not yet found our home.

💔

While there is much more that can be shared, (and has been shared/detailed with two people we have been blessed to have in our corner, who have been made aware of what transpired) the Lord has asked me to keep it simple. 

So we are again sharing more of the extremes we have endured, but without fear of judgement and without embarrassment. 

I should first state that we were dodged for weeks while initially trying to keep consistent contact with the person we'd been communicating with in regards to the property (before we were told the unit was promised to us, and there were many red flags, overall.) I mentioned this briefly in a former post. But we were repeatedly reassured that renting was going to happen. 

In short, the night before we were supposed to make the 3 hour drive to be closer to the rental, (where we were all supposed to meet the following day, which would have been YESTERDAY) we were told we needed to send the security deposit BEFORE seeing the place or reviewing the lease. Our response was to send a thorough, professional response, expressing that we would be willing to provide the security deposit ONLY upon viewing the place and signing the lease, as was agreed upon by phone. And which aligns with the standard practices of a landlord and tenant entering a rental agreement.

She refused, and furthermore, it seems as though she may have been trying to illegally sublease her apartment.

The unwarranted, rude and barely legible reply we received was enough to know that it was not in our best interest to communicate further, to say the least.

All the day before we were supposed to meet to sign the lease.

The hardest part is disappointing our kids again. That after promising our oldest child this was it, it wasn't.💔 Speaking candidly about our situation, repeatedly informing landlords/property owners about our need to provide our children a new home, and being at their mercy for such an opportunity has been more than exhausting. The lack of kindness or regard for three children is upsetting.

I feel foolish to make this update after getting my hopes up, because this has been literally the only thing carrying us through last week. The only thing that had given us hope. While we know it's the Lord that sustains us, we are human, and we are weary. We thought we would be there today--even with nothing but air mattresses and blankets, and hope for a new start. 

That sigh of relief that this is finally all over that we have been waiting for.

😞

I want to end this post asking for prayers and support, and thanking the four people that provided any response after our last update; the brothers who made donations via Givesendgo, the one who sent us $100 when we only had half the amount we needed to cover our room, and for the brother who sent us $250 to keep us safe and fed while we waited for the unfortunate outcome.

It means more than you know that you have walked with us despite the response we have received from others, and the church, even, time and again.

Please know and do not forget that God sees what you have done for us, for our children, which you have done for Him. Trust that He will reward you greatly, for the love you have shown a family in a lost, hurting, and dying world.

God bless you All.

In Him,

Us

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, friends and family in the Lord:

Today, I'm writing to share the praise report that we have been praying for for more than a year:

We have found a place for our children to call home.

I thought that when this day came (and I have kept my faith that it would) I would have more to say. But I am at a loss for words for the gratitude we feel. 

We found a property owner willing to rent to us-- and despite our situation/ circumstances.

We have been promised this place, told that we are approved, and that we can move in as soon as we can provide her the security deposit and first month's rent. And more so than that, we have shared many of the difficulties we have faced, and she is welcoming our family with the blessing of an opportunity to have what we have been longing for for a long time: a home. 

Our children are overjoyed. 

All we have to do is make it there.

While we are overjoyed to share this news, we are also asking in kind for your help through the final home stretch.

 🙏🏽

To secure the apartment (and to be allowed immediate move-in) we must be able to provide the renter $1,200. That is rent for July, and a security deposit. 

Still...As of 11 AM this morning, we are again due to check out of our hotel. 

While there are some great blessings with the property we have found, (such as the low cost of monthly rent, a safe living community, garden, and free WiFi access) **we will need to be able to acquire our own washer and dryer**. We also have needs in regards to furnishings (such as air mattresses) and perhaps personal items/necessities, with consideration to things we have had to leave behind. We need help to maintain our hotel until we can acquire the necessary funds (which we are praying will be soon, with your help.) and we will need gas to make the 3 hour drive. 

Please understand that we do not have words to express the deep gratitude for the help that we have been so very fortunate to receive until this point. For all those who have prayed for us, fed us, helped us get well when we were sick. For keeping our family sheltered and safe. Even despite their own situations. 💔 And for those who did not fade out, but stuck with us through these trials and helped us to carry this burden until today. Those who truly know the Lord, and who have shown us His love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, on behalf of us all. 

🤍

In this time, more than ever, we could truly use your help. 

In just a couple days, our little ones can finally be home.

🙏🏽

I plead with you to please share our campaign. If the Lord leads you to help, I want to remind you that nothing that you can contribute could be insignificant. Please know that any donations received via the campaign can be requested 72 hours after they are made; upon approval, they will then take 3-5 business days to become available for use.

If anyone is willing to provide immediate support, our apps are:

Cash App: $newjade194

PayPal + Venmo: @newjade194

I will update the campaign with any support provided.

🤍

If you may like to support in a different way, I will provide the link to our Amazon wishlist for our children's homeschooling, which I have since updated to add essentials for our new home. We are also grateful for anyone who may want to provide gift cards for home goods or groceries. (Based on availability, the best would be Walmart, Target or Amazon. But we are grateful for anything). When we are able, we will thrift whatever items we can, such as beds for the kiddos, tables and chairs, etc. 

We still have to handle our vehicle registration. We still need to obtain our personal documents (my ID is expiring in less than three weeks). I will still have to find work in the area that we live in. 

Any blessings of seeds sown beyond the $1,200 will finally go towards truly allowing us stability. Our rent will be $600; even one extra month could allow us time to save our current income so that we can truly start this situation back on our feet. 

I feel slightly embarrassed to ask for any support, but having your support at this part of our journey bridges the gap between facing the circumstances that we are very much still in, and finally starting a new beginning for our family. 

The circle of people willing to help keep our family in the last few months have been very small, and having anyone else willing to share the load would mean that much more in this time. 

Please.

This is finally it. 

Please help us bring our babies home.

Ezekiel 36:24-26

"For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." 

P.S. Thank you so very much for the help we received ($250) to cover our hotel. We are thankful. 🙏🏽

Psalm 92

A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.

"It is good to praise the Lord

    and make music to Your name, O Most High,

 proclaiming Your love in the morning

    and Your faithfulness at night,

 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre

    and the melody of the harp.

 For You make me glad by Your deeds, Lord;

    I sing for joy at what Your hands have done.

How great are Your works, Lord,

    how profound Your thoughts!

 Senseless people do not know,

    fools do not understand,

that though the wicked spring up like grass

    and all evildoers flourish,

    they will be destroyed forever.

But You, Lord, are forever exalted.

For surely Your enemies, Lord,

    surely Your enemies will perish;

    all evildoers will be scattered.

 You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;

    fine oils have been poured on me.

My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;

    my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.

 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,

    they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;

planted in the house of the Lord,

    they will flourish in the courts of our God.

 They will still bear fruit in old age,

    they will stay fresh and green,

 proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;

   He is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in Him.” "

Today is the Sabbath day. The day of rest. The day of gratitude and worship. And the day that I would be anointing our home with oil, praying over our family, friends and loved ones.

Today, I am grateful. I am doing my best. But there will be no rest for us.💔 Today we have nowhere to go. Today, I am homesick for a place I've never been. 🥺

Lord, open the door that no one can close. Thank you for today. Keep us safe, keep us strong, bring us Home. 

In Yeshua's holy name I pray. Amen. 

🤍

Exodus 20:8

****Update**** 

For the two brothers who reached out to collectively help us keep the room today and maintain the next couple days, thank you, sincerely. May God bless you both. 🤗

Good morning to anyone reading this. ☀️

I sincerely hope that you are well.

Today, I am going on two days without proper sleep; to say that I am exhausted is to say the least. But today, I am trying to have a grateful heart. 

🤍

Aside from prayer and reading the Lord's word, I have been putting a great effort into brushing up my resume to help create the best outcome in my job search. (Please, if anyone may have a solid, tangible recommendation for a fully remote position, feel free to send me an email: newbeginnings0244@gmail.com). 🙏🏽 I also have set up search engine accounts.

Tuesday afternoon, I will be attending an interview, and I am slightly nervous. Since I created this campaign for my family, we have repeatedly been vulnerable to an incredible number of people at this point; we have reached out for help, shared (and over shared) our story and our circumstances with others, seeking help, hoping for understanding. After the response or lack of that we have received from thousands of people, it is strange for me to navigate communicating with an employer when we are still facing our situation. And if I do land the job, I would rather maintain my integrity and not have to share anything about our situation, or be known as "the homeless person", ruining what can be a new opportunity and a chance to just be. While I am trying my best to be optimistic, it is extremely nerve wracking to think that tomorrow afternoon, we will again be due to check out of the hotel, and that I cannot sincerely or confidently guarantee my ability to work this job if I land it. Also, my state ID is expiring in less than 30 days, and we still do not have the personal documents and address we would need for me to renew it without issue. I truly have just been holding on to hope by a thread, and by the hem of His garment. I am so deeply grateful for those who have helped us until this point. 

Yesterday, we found a listing on marketplace for a camper near us being sold for $1,000. Just as we had with the person selling one for $300, we reached out, not even certain that we could pay for it. But in hope, we shared details of our situation and how this camper would change our lives; we asked in kind to be considered with priority to purchase, (not a donation) and again the response was dry and cold.

💔

Today, I want to share this verse for anyone who may be facing a difficult time, for anyone who may feel the way that we do, even in the slightest:

PSALM 25:

"In You, Lord my God,

    I put my trust.

 I trust in You;

    do not let me be put to shame,

    nor let my enemies triumph over me.

 No one who hopes in You 

    will ever be put to shame,

but shame will come on those

    who are treacherous without cause.

 Show me Your ways, Lord,

    teach me Your paths.

 Guide me in Your truth and teach me,

    for You are God my Savior,

    and my hope is in You all day long.

 Remember, Lord, Your great mercy and love,

    for they are from of old.

 Do not remember the sins of my youth

    and my rebellious ways;

according to Your love remember me,

    for You, Lord, are good.

Good and upright is the Lord;

    therefore He instructs sinners in His ways.

 He guides the humble in what is right

    and teaches them His way.

 All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful

    toward those who keep the demands of His covenant.

 For the sake of Your name, Lord,

    forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

 Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?

    He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.

They will spend their days in prosperity,

    and their descendants will inherit the land.

The Lord confides in those who fear Him;

    He makes His covenant known to them.

My eyes are ever on the Lord,

    for only He will release my feet from the snare.

Turn to me and be gracious to me,

    for I am lonely and afflicted.

 Relieve the troubles of my heart

    and free me from my anguish.

Look on my affliction and my distress

    and take away all my sins.

 See how numerous are my enemies

    and how fiercely they hate me!

Guard my life and rescue me;

    do not let me be put to shame,

    for I take refuge in You.

May integrity and uprightness protect me,

    because my hope, Lord, is in You.

 Deliver Israel, O God,

    from all their troubles!"

Amen.

🤍

We are intelligent, ambitious, and resourceful people. The only thing hindering us aside from warfare is true stability. There is so much that we could be working on, so many things that we could accomplish, if we could just have a place to focus and to call home. I never provided an update regarding my faith based business, because I have not been able to invest the time. Things have long slowed down on our e-commerce store, because we were forced to leave behind our personal belongings and many of the items we'd acquired in TN; and there are also the things that were stolen from our vehicle from a previous hotel property, and the fact that many of the few things that we did have, (such as collectibles that we'd planned to resell) were destroyed in transit, and due to having to pack them suddenly, again and again. The website builds, the courses and classes (such as the Biblical Hebrew course I'd planned to begin in July to grow in my relationship with the Lord) have been put on hold. 😔 And those with negative opinions, false assumptions, or those who have read messages and declined to respond, have all judged from the same place: the comfort and privacy of their homes. 
 

If anyone reading this may know someone with a camper, please ask them to send my family a message. We can be reached here by direct message, or at newbeginnings0244@gmail.com. Please, continue to share our family's campaign. You never know who it can reach. 

Anyone who may be willing to provide immediate help can do so at:

Cash App: $newjade194

PayPal + Venmo: @newjade194

and it will be updated here. Any help sent will first go to covering our room so that we can stay in place long enough to see the outcome of this coming interview, and towards food and essentials. 

Thank you for each and every one of you who is praying the best for us.

We thank God for you. 

A Psalm of David:

"My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?

    Why are You so far from saving me,

    so far from my cries of anguish?

  My God, I cry out by day, but You do not answer,

    by night, but I find no rest.

 Yet You are enthroned as the Holy One;

    You are the one Israel praises. 

In You our ancestors put their trust;

    they trusted and You delivered them.

To You they cried out and were saved;

    in You they trusted and were not put to shame.

 But I am a worm and not a man,

    scorned by everyone, despised by the people.

All who see me mock me;

    they hurl insults, shaking their heads.

 “He trusts in the Lord,” they say,

    “let the Lord rescue him.

Let Him deliver him,

    since he delights in Him.”

 Yet You brought me out of the womb;

    You made me trust in You, even at my mother’s breast.

  From birth I was cast on You;

    from my mother’s womb You have been my God.

 Do not be far from me,

    for trouble is near

    and there is no one to help.

 Many bulls surround me;

    strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.

Roaring lions that tear their prey

    open their mouths wide against me.

 I am poured out like water,

    and all my bones are out of joint.

My heart has turned to wax;

    it has melted within me.

My mouth is dried up like a potsherd,

    and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;

    You lay me in the dust of death.

Dogs surround me,

    a pack of villains encircles me;

    they pierce my hands and my feet.

All my bones are on display;

    people stare and gloat over me.

 They divide my clothes among them

    and cast lots for my garment.

 But You, Lord, do not be far from me.

    You are my strength; come quickly to help me.

 Deliver me from the sword,

    my precious life from the power of the dogs.

Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;

    save me from the horns of the wild oxen.

 I will declare Your name to my people;

    in the assembly I will praise You.

You who fear the Lord, praise Him!

    All you descendants of Jacob, honor Him!

    Revere Him, all you descendants of Israel!

 For He has not despised or scorned

    the suffering of the afflicted one;

He has not hidden His face from him

    but has listened to his cry for help.

From You comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;

    before those who fear You I will fulfill my vows.

 The poor will eat and be satisfied;

    those who seek the Lord will praise Him—

    may your hearts live forever!

All the ends of the earth

    will remember and turn to the Lord,

and all the families of the nations

    will bow down before Him,

 for dominion belongs to the Lord

    and He rules over the nations.

All the rich of the earth will feast and worship;

    all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him—

    those who cannot keep themselves alive.

Posterity will serve Him;

    future generations will be told about the Lord.

They will proclaim His righteousness,

    declaring to a people yet unborn:

    He has done it!"

💔

We would like to give our sincere gratitude to the two brothers who reached out to help us keep our room until Sunday morning. Your help has meant more than you know, because there is so much more than I can write. I have no words to express my sincere gratitude for the help you have provided my family. I thank you for knowing the Lord, for loving Him, and for being the ones He has sent to help keep our babies safe in this time. Thank you for your prayers, for fighting this spiritual battle with us. For your kind words of encouragement, your brotherhood and friendship. And for responding regardless of anyone's response or lack of. The Lord is so very real, and you are truly living proof. Our hearts are always with you both, and you are always in my prayers. 🤍🫂

Thank you. 

I have an interview scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. These days, my prayers are for God's will for our lives, not ours, and to thank Him in advance and regardless of anything. I have been praying for a church home, I have been praying for Godly friendships. I have been praying for Him to keep my mind, my spirit, my heart. I'm tired of being strong. 😔 We cannot rush the Lord, as He works in His own timing. I'm just praying He opens a door soon.

God bless and be with you all. 

🤍

✨I would first like to start this update with offering our sincere gratitude for the two people who stepped in to help us following our last update. They acted swiftly on behalf of our family, and 24 hours later, collectively donated $500, which paid for our room for four days as we waited to hear from the employer, and allowed us to purchase groceries and a few pairs of work pants. Thank you, and for those who have kept us since.🙏🏽✨

Brothers and sisters in Christ, friends:

I haven't known how to make this update. I haven't been able to figure out the words, what to say. I have been wanting to say that things have improved, that God has opened a door for us. But it has not happened yet. Today, we are thankful that we are here, that He has kept us. We are thankful for those He has sent to help us, pray for us, and for those who have helped us to bear this burden. It means more than you know. 🫂

I would like to share that I did not begin the position that was offered to me a couple weeks ago-- for many reasons. We have already shared this in detail with those who have taken time to message or speak with us; I just haven't been sure how to share it here. I first need to say that my husband and I both agreed that we were in an emotional place that day, especially with having to fully check out of the hotel with nowhere to go. But rash decisions cannot be made out of desperation. And the Lord tells us to test the spirit. So after taking time to reflect on the encounter, we agreed that things were just...off. And the safety of our children is paramount. We are the adults, and we must make the best decision for them. 

In short, I will say that we spoke with this person in detail about our situation; they offered me a job, offered to contact their pastor/church on our behalf, offered us a meal. But there were other things, like body language and nonverbal communication that we could pick up on...The employee who was instructed to contact me the following day, never did. (And this same person told me to my face, in front of her boss, that she is not a nice person). We never heard from the pastor, or got his name. This person touched my daughter's hair in a way that made me uncomfortable, and I feel better writing it, solidifying how it made me feel the day that it happened. She initially insisted she knew me, and refused to acknowledge my husband when approaching us. She insisted on taking a picture of our family, which my husband respectfully declined; and you would think there would be consideration of our feelings for this. She insisted it "would help pull on the heartstrings of the church a little bit". After all of this, (and there is more I have left out) there was no further contact. Literally just disappeared. With a picture of our family. None of which sits right with us. And while we can be judged one way or another (and people have been HEAVY on the judging) we are not blind to the fact that there are people in the world who will prey on others in sensitive situations. So we left that where it ended. 

And we are still carrying the rest.

I continue to put in applications, but we still don't have a stable place to live. We do not know where we are moving. The income we receive is devoured by the cost of the hotel, which is generally $80-$126/day, on average. We still need to register our vehicle to be able to drive to work--or to anywhere, for that matter. We still need our documents, which are necessary for employment, securing a new a place to live, and our vehicle. I have to secure employment for a new place to live, (despite the eviction) and we need a residential address for our documents and our vehicle. It is a cycle, that we have tried so hard to express, that those who have been willing to speak, understand. While we are incredibly grateful for all they have done, we have needed more help, than they can provide, even. 

I have continued to reach out to churches, pastors, non-profit organizations, in hopes they may be willing to contribute to our cause, share our campaign, or reach out with other avenues of help. I understand that people take to viewing our campaign to scroll and see who has donated, what amount. But they have not read our updates, they are unaware of all that has occurred. They have not spoken with us on the phone, or about the things that have happened that have not been included in the campaign. They are not aware of the health issues, the strain of living in these circumstances, the affects on the mind and the heart, and even the effects on our children, who just want to be home. 💔 It is a lot easier to judge when you make an assumption. 

Most recently (and within days of the job offer that fell through) someone reached out promising to bridge communication with a landlord, and guaranteeing us to move into a place on June 1. (Yesterday). This person was aware of our circumstances, we were prepared to offer the first month's rent, and we trusted again that this could be what they promised. They haven't even communicated with us to tell us anything different. And now we know this will not come to pass. 

We have sent thousands of messages on marketplace, OfferUp and Craigslist, sharing our circumstances and asking if people may be willing to donate their campers/RVs. There is no guarantee that someone will donate one, but you cannot know if you do not ask. And there are people who have means that others may not, and there may be someone who knows someone. There are even ways for people to make a donation and get a tax write off. While most people don't reply (and some have sent very nasty replies) there have been some kind people offering prayers of encouragement, and even sharing their own situations. It is not necessarily ideal for us to think of living in a camper. But it would significantly lift the weight of the cost of staying in a hotel. And it would give us a stable place to live and the chance to regain our footing. It would give us REST, something we have not had for a very long time. 💔🏠

Today, I am writing to humbly ask for your help in this regard, for our children's sake. If the Lord leads, please help in any way that you can. If you are unable to donate to our cause, there are still significant ways to help:

•Sharing our campaign with at least one person

•Sharing our story with a pastor or church 

•Sharing our story with anyone you may know who has a working, livable camper/RV; They may just no longer need it, or may be willing to donate it to a family in need, or willing to make an exception on the asking price. Especially empty nesters, people who may have purchased campers to live in during home builds, or people who may have one genuinely just taking up space.

We are in search of a pull-behind/bumper-pull camper/RV, that could be pulled using our truck. We are unable to get a loan to make this a possibility. In our search, we have found that on average, they can go from $5,000-$11,000 and upwards. We have searched our immediate area, as well as neighboring states. 

Please consider when viewing our campaign that the funds raised have taken place over the course of nearly a year. Please read our updates to gain a better understanding of this.

After the eviction, after the experience at our relatives' home, after the mobile home falling through, after the situation at a former friend's, after the $300 camper, after the job offer, after the promise of an apartment, after everything....

...We just want to go home. 

If there may be someone willing to help, but they would like to speak further, or aid us in communicating with sellers, please, email us at: newbeginnings0244@gmail.com 

We can also share our phone number.

I will update any new information here, and I thank those who were made aware of things for their patience in our making the details public. 🙏🏽

We are deeply, sincerely grateful.

May God bless and keep you all. 🤍

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for those who have been here. Thank you for praying for us. Thank you for everything.🫂

🤍

Hi,

If this message finds you today, I pray you are well. 🤍

I have wanted to make an update, but I haven't known what to write. 

So I suppose I will just write how I think.

I would first like to thank the people who helped my family last week--who helped pay for our hotel, and for the kind person who made the donation on Mother's Day. (I pray that you had a beautiful Mother's Day, and your help means more than you know. I'd also like to share what happened on that day.)

I don't normally celebrate Mother's Day. I am always happy to celebrate other women, especially those that love the Lord, and the ones who are so treasured by their families. (I personally--and genuinely--feel like most secular holidays, if not rooted in paganism, are created to pull on the heartstrings of people for the sake of making sales for companies. But that is just me, and I do not judge others for trying to lift up their loved ones and make them feel special). 💖 With that being said, I did not have any anticipation for Mother's Day, especially with consideration to my family's circumstances.

I tried to stay offline to avoid the pictures, videos and memories women around the world were undoubtedly sharing, as it was a painful reminder of the incredible loss we have endured: aside from our home itself, pictures of me during my pregnancies, when our children were first born, first steps, birthdays, and so on. It was also a reminder of how many people I have tried reaching out to for such a long time...and that fact that, for over a year now, we have been missing out on our children's lives and the experiences we could have, missing our home. 💔😔 I didn't want to be in the space it would have put me in mentally, or spiritually. While I managed to avoid this, there was a separate heartbreak altogether. 

On Mother's Day, we were searching marketplace, on a whim. We found a newly wed young couple selling a 1979 camper. For its age (and despite a minor issue that would need repairing) it was in amazing condition. But the best part was that it was less than 45 minutes away, and they were only asking $300 for it. In the listing, they'd simply stated that they had no need for it and just wanted it hauled away, and even geared it towards scrappers. 

We reached out to them, humbly, and we detailed our circumstances; how being able to purchase this camper would change our families lives, for our daughters' sake. How it would allow us a stable place to live after all we have experienced, and the cost of staying in a hotel.

They simply replied they were going to sell it in the order they were contacted.

The next day, the listing was marked as sold and there was no further reply.

I spent the majority of the day confused, and in tears. I debated sharing the experience in the campaign at all, in fear I may sound ridiculous. But it was heartbreaking, knowing that they simply didn't want it, when it very much could have made a huge difference for our family. 💔

Later that evening, someone donated $100 to our campaign. It served as a reminder that while that didn't work out, God does not forget us, and despite our challenges, He has continued to send people who love Him to help carry the load we have been carrying for so long now. I thank you sincerely for this donation. 🙏🏽 Two days ago, I was able to request the funds, and we should receive them in the next 1-2 days. 🤍

There is some good news to report. 

I have been offered a part time job by a woman we met yesterday. We had just cleared out of the hotel, as we didn't have means to pay for another day. And we had no idea where we were going to go, what we were going to do. She approached us initially thinking that she may have known who we were, which we found out we did not know one another. And after speaking to her about our situation, she offered me a job. It will take the next few days to work out the details, but she is trying to allow me to start as soon as next week. This is surely a blessing, and it would be an opportunity to allow us to regain our footing a bit as we try to handle the tasks necessary for us to move forward to getting our own place. 

A brother sent us $250 today; we used it to pay for our room today and tomorrow, which came out to $208. 

Today, I am writing in hopes you will hear our plea for help for us stay in place so that I can start this position. 🙏🏽

I would also like to be able to purchase some clothes and shoes for work, so that I can put my best self forward in this new job. 

Please consider that any help at this time is extremely significant. Please consider our most recent posts, in which we detail our needs for registration, and the possibility of renting. And if not, at least maintaining our room while starting a new job.

If there may be any chance you are willing to help, please know that any help provided would first go towards covering our room for the next week until I start, and towards shoes/clothes for work, gas, and food/groceries. If you feel led to help but you would like to help with gift cards, please send a message. 🙏🏽

For anyone who may feel led to donate: funds donated can be requested 72 hours after the donation is made; they must then be approved. Once approved, the funds will become available in 1-3 business days. 

If anyone may be willing to provide immediate support, our payment apps are:

Cash App: $newjade194

Venmo + PayPal: @newjade194

If you feel led to help, please know that no amount is insignificant, and we are sincerely grateful.

Please continue to share our campaign. You never know who it may reach that may feel led to help.

Ephesians 4:2-6 "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."

I would like to share this prayer with you today:

"Heavenly Father, open my eyes to the moments I overlook to weave unity with my spiritual kin. Inspire me to invest time in the precious bonds You've graced my life with. Instill in me a deep gratitude for the souls that cross my path, and guide me in walking alongside them, fortifying our collective path towards You. In this fellowship, may we reflect Your love and peace. Amen."

We thank God for each and every one of you, and we keep you in our prayers.

Thank you, and God bless you all. 🤍

Hi,

If you are reading this today, please see my most recent update.

I have also finally learned how to add footage from my family's eviction, which you can now view here. 

I pray that when you see it, the Lord speaks to your heart.

🙏🏽

Please help share my family's campaign.

Thank you, and God bless you.

🤍

Hi,

I find that at times, I feel ridiculous making updates. 😶 I suppose because I am not sure who reads them. (Or how many people are reading them). 

But I am sincerely grateful for anyone who does. 🤍

If this finds you, I pray that you are safe, and well; that your today was better than yesterday. That you feel encouraged, and that you remember that God loves you. 🫂

We were asked Wednesday to leave where we have been staying the last almost two weeks.

Right now I do not have words, and I do not feel it is appropriate to elaborate on this, at this time. What I can say is that it may have been too much on everyone for us to share such a small space. And that it was best that we leave (which we did respectfully, and in a manner I feel still allows us integrity as people) especially for our daughters' sake.

As of Wednesday evening, we have been staying in a hotel.

And we are most grateful for the help of those who have helped us be here the next day or so, and for the friend who helped us with groceries. Thank you.🙏🏽

While we had felt hopeful that this arrangement would have allowed us to regain our footing, we are in almost the same position we were before. But we are not giving up hope that God will help us to make a way, and keep us safe until we do.

I'd been submitting job applications, and we'd applied for an apartment. Both of which are now affected. And we still need to be able to drive our vehicle to Illinois to get it registered.

For the sake of reiterating the specific challenges of our circumstances that have complicated our ability to move forward, I must say this:

When we experienced an unlawful eviction that resulted in total loss of property, we lost all of our personal identifying documents. While I have my valid (but soon-to-be expired) state ID, that means all of our birth certificates and social security cards. I do not have a valid driver's license. While my husband's driver's license is valid, (as he renewed it after the eviction, and was then given a temporary paper ID) he does not have a physical valid ID. Normally, when someone renews their state ID, the DMV will mail it to their home address --which we did not have access to, after eviction. He has contacted the secretary of state numerous times over the last several months and jumped through hoops to obtain it. When we were in TN, they refused to mail it to where we were staying, even after multiple phone calls, and even after mailing in requested paperwork such as proof of bank statements; While he has his social security card, it is not enough as proof of identity for him to obtain his birth certificate (he needs a physical, valid state ID to do so). And to obtain his valid state ID, he will need both his social, and his birth certificate, to start with. We also need to be able to provide an Illinois mailing address, where the ID can be sent, and "proof of address"--such as a bill, for example, as further proof of identity. We need all of the said documents to register our vehicle, apply for employment, apply for a place to live. And you cannot have those kinds of documents mailed to a p.o. box. It is not considered secure, and that would be correct. And I cannot rely on my husband for transportation to work with an unregistered vehicle.

We literally cannot move forward.

And until we are able to do this, every minute we are in danger of having our vehicle towed or impounded, being pulled over and arrested or jailed, left stranded in the middle of nowhere with no means to fix it. And potentially worse. Especially with considering that my husband is the driver, and that I do not have a license. 

More than a year later, we still do not have this.

We have tried extremely hard to convey this, especially as I have continued to update the campaign in regards to our needs. We have asked to communicate extensively, to speak with those willing to help to better explain this so that it makes sense. When we were in TN, and after leaving our relatives' home, we were trapped in the hotels. Before we left their home, we'd paid insurance for our vehicle, and we had temporary registration. Which has since long expired. In TN we stressed the importance of having help towards a place to live, because of the technicalities of it all. So that we could make these things happen. We still need help in this regard.

Please understand that if you have never loss all of your personal identification, it is not as simple as to "get a job," to "get a p.o. box," to "figure it out." Please consider this. People that have responded in this manner have not been able to grasp how difficult this makes things for us. Most recently, we thought we had an opportunity to begin to resolve these issues, but we are in nearly the same position. 💔

Rather than allowing ourselves to sink into darkness, to feel anxious or defeated, we are trying to remain hopeful.

Today, I am reflecting on Deuteronomy 6:5-13:

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.  Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. When the Lord your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. Fear the Lord your God, serve Him only and take your oaths in His name."

🙏🏽

At this time, more than anything, I am asking for prayer, for God's breakthrough. We know that we cannot rush Him, but we are praying and trusting for any blessings He has for our family to come soon. 

And we ask you to please continue to share our campaign.

While we are so deeply grateful to no longer have the immediate worries of maintaining the hotel for our children, we are not out of the woods just yet. There are many pluses to our current situation: 

•We are fortunate to be in a safe, quiet neighborhood, with room for our kiddos to run around, after months of being cooped up in the hotel without means to run around.

•We are now only about 2.5 hours from where we need to return to register our vehicle, obtain my husband's physical driver's license and apply to receive our personal documents; Doing so will also allow us to have the documentation we will need to provide a potential landlord and employer

•We have found a landlord who is willing to rent to us, despite the evictions on our records/credit score, and even on a month-to-month basis; he has a 2 bedroom apartment that will be move-in ready in the next 2-3 weeks 

•The homeschool laws are the same here as Illinois, which has been one of our main concerns We are now so very close to changing our situation around for our little girls, something we have been praying for for a long time since it all began. Because of the help of two brothers in Christ, we made it here safely, and not a moment too late. 🙏🏽

We would be so very grateful for any help making it to the finish line. In as soon as 2-3 weeks time, we could have a place of our own to call home. And that would be the blessing we have been praying for, to help us return to a sense of peace and normalcy we haven't had for so long.

We are currently seeking to raise $3,200.

If anyone may be willing to help, these are the things we are hoping to tackle to make this happen:

•Driving to IL to handle our license + registration + stickers/obtaining personal documents + gas (currently, we have insurance for our vehicle!) ($400+)

•Internet access (we will have to purchase service, as there is no Internet connection where we are. This will also be necessary to aid my work search, and will give us use of our phones without the worry of a phone bill ($35)

•First & last month of rent + security deposit to secure an apartment with the landlord willing to work with us ($2400)

•Fee to turn on electric service •Assistance with groceries, for one week or so (Currently, we do not have much food.)

If anyone may be willing to help our family in this regard, towards any of this, please know we are truly grateful. Please continue to share our campaign. 🙏🏽

Hi 🌞

If there's chance you're reading this message today, I pray that you are safe, fed and well. 

I'm writing to update that we have made it safely, to our temporary destination. 🙏🏽

Admittedly, I don't know who will see this message today; after several months of making detailed updates about my family's circumstances and pleading for others to continue to share our campaign, it seems as though it is no longer being shared, and there is just a small number of people who have reached out since our recent updates.

But in transparency, I vowed at the beginning of its creation to provide updates until our situation truly changes for the better, and we get back on our feet. 

If you have followed our campaign up until this point (or if you are new, this will be a brief summary) you may remember that in 2023, two days after our twins' birthday, we experienced a brutal, illegal eviction in which we lost everything. We caught COVID afterwards, and we then drove 800+ miles to stay with relatives that were not welcoming. Two months later, my husband experienced a serious car accident that could have taken his life, and it left us completely stranded in rural TN as our vehicle was totaled. We contacted hundreds of churches and organizations-- including those that donate cars to families/people in need-- influencers, Youtubers and philanthropists alike, in hopes they would be willing to help. The majority did not respond, and those that did declined to help, or denied our applications, without any further inquiry. (And despite proof of our circumstances). We rescued a Siamese kitten that my husband found in the same spot where he experienced the accident, just weeks later. And ultimately, we were thrown out of our relatives' home and threatened over said kitten, just before the holidays--and soon after the generous donation we received that allowed us to purchase our vehicle. The plans that we had made to save the remaining funds were thwarted, our temporary registration could not be renewed, and we were stranded, without means to change our circumstances. We experienced a lot living in the hotels, struggling to pay from one day to the next, for months, experiencing mistreatment and racism, everything from dealing with threats made by hotel staff, being thrown out of hotels for complaining about pest issues and other things, and for no reason at all--many instanced which were recorded. We were in talks with someone selling a mobile home, who, after nearly a week of correspondence, agreed to sell it to us for $6,000, only to disappear altogether despite their promise. That $6,000 was then spent replacing all four of our tires, and kept us in hotels for two months. Most recently, a friend opened their home to us, to give us a chance to change our circumstances, despite facing difficulties of her own. We just made it here, with the complications of our vehicle/license due to complete loss of personal property even preventing us from renting a U-haul trailer and retrieving our belongings from our relatives' home. I have also detailed serious issues with my health. And there is certainly more I'm forgetting at the moment.

While we are so deeply grateful to no longer have the immediate worries of maintaining the hotel for our children, we are not out of the woods just yet.

There are many pluses to our current situation. 

•We are fortunate to be in a safe, quiet neighborhood, with room for our kiddos to run around, after months of being cooped up in the hotel without means to run around.

•We may have found a landlord who is willing to rent to us, despite the evictions on our records/credit score, and even on a month-to-month basis; he has multiple properties, and has a few different options available for rent

•The homeschool laws are the same here as Illinois, which has been one of our main concerns

We are now so very close to changing our situation around for our little girls, something we have been praying for for a long time since it all began.

Because of the help of two brothers in Christ, we made it here safely, and not a moment too late.

We understand that people everywhere are facing difficult situations. We are also aware that we in a time unlike any other, where spiritual warfare is extremely strong, and very much real. Even for those who don't share our beliefs. 

Our campaign did not go viral. Our circumstances did not change overnight. We are so very fortunate for the help that we have received. It has kept us, and it has brought us to this point. And in transparency and great detail, we have shared how the funds raised thus far have been used have brought us to where we are today, as well as the difficulties we have faced over the last year. 

We are so very close to being able to start over.

Please, continue to share our campaign. Continue to keep us in your prayers. 

We are so very thankful, for each and every person who has helped, in any aspect. You have kept us and our little girls safe, and we are almost home. 

God bless and keep each and every one of you.

Thank you.

Good morning everyone ☀️

Today, I'd like to ask a question:

Do you know what tithing is? 

I thought I did. 

My relationship with God and the church first began when I was a child. My mother would send my older brother and I to church alone. She would never go with us, (therefore we would never understand why we were going) and this greatly shaped our view of church....or didn't, I should say.

To me, for many years of my childhood (and, honestly, into adulthood) I did not have an understanding of tithing. 

To me, tithing was putting money into those shiny, silver or gold collection plates that were passed around the church, from aisle to aisle, pew to pew, every Sunday. My mother, the pastor, the elderly woman that sat next to us in church. They would all say the same thing : That tithing was giving a percentage (10%) to the Lord first, and trusting that, for your obedience, He would bless you. 

I have since learned differently, and my views on this have changed.

I do still believe in paying a percentage to the Lord, regardless of what you have. I do believe that if you're trusting Him, regardless of your circumstances, that He will bless you. I do, even, believe in putting your money into that collection plate and trusting that God has control for it to be used for good. I also know that it is not in any way a "quick" answer to your prayers. And that God cannot be bribed. 

But I have come to a greater understanding of what tithing is.
