Well, I will start by saying we have been ever so blessed in our lives with twins! Not just twins, but twins *twice*! In January of 2011 we were blessed with girl/boy twins. Chelsea and Wesley. Then in March of 2012 we were blessed with twins again, only this time it was two boys. Jaxon and Jacob. We immediately fell in love with those beautiful beings! Ever since we were pregnant the second time we have been attempting to save anything we could in order to move our family from our small 2 bedroom duplex. As imagined, things have not been easy in that department. We have struggled with the medical bills from our first set of twins. I had insurance through my company and we had my fiances insurance for when the twins were born. Quickly I found out just how "helpful" my insurance really was. After our first monitoring of the twins I was topped out!! Then after Chelsea and Wesley were finally here to spread their snuggles and smiles. It was time for me to head back to work, only to find out two weeks prior I had been let go. Seemed bittersweet at the time. So I sucked it up and after looking at our expenses, we realized we would not be able to afford daycare. So I then became an official stay at home mom. Don't get me wrong, I love this life I have been given! However, the financial aspect really frightened me! We seemed to be doing ok, still struggling with our bills. Then all of a sudden, PREGNANT again...with twins...again! So added financial stress came! 37 weeks later we welcomed our precious boys! We knew we would need to tough it out some how, in this 2 bedroom duplex. But wasn't sure how that would happen. My fiance kept being told he was to get a raise..it never came. Then my Fiance was offered a really great oppurtunity that we felt would be be amazing for us. After putting his 2 weeks notice in and starting with this new company and all the possibilites, he was let go within a week. (WHAT!?!) "How does this happen?" We were told it was due to the sudden lack of sales in the company. This time in our life was more terrifiying than when 2 of my children had to have surgery for pyloric stenosis. How, were we going to pay the bills? What about Diapers..etc? 3 weeks with out any means of being able to pay for our bills. Wondering what would happen to us. Interview and resume after interview. A friend of mine then heard a contruction company was hiring. My fiance then dropped of his resume on a Friday. That Monday he was contacted to come in for an interview, that day! I was so hopeful in my heart. I mean, God has blessed us already with beautiful healthy children! We still had a roof over our head and my mother was able to assist a little. But this interview seemed different. My fiance, (Daniel by the way :) ) called to let me know...HE GOT THE JOB!! Oh thank you GOD!!! Here we are a few months later, Daniel is working over 60 hours a week. He is gone before the kids wake up and home right before they go to bed. Though we have been doing ok. We started seeing that we were saving. Next thing we know we had what would be a security deposit and 1st months rent saved. BAM, car problems. Cooling fan, brakes and radiator. There went that savings. Last month we started saving again and we had every bit saved. BAM head gasket blew and then some! There went our savings. And what was left meant we had to put that on our rent. Because we were no where near the savings again. I am hear to ask for the help of just aquiring a security deposit. We have found a home that has the 3 bedroom with a den and a laundry room. Even has a huge fenced in backyard. This home is 2 streets away from Daniels brother and sister. 10 minutes from my mother. The neighborhood is just amazing. Where we are at now, has being quickly becoming more terrifying. Especially when I am home while Daniel is working late. Since Thanksgiving, we have had 2 thefts on the street. Vandalism to over 10 cars, and 2 registered rapist have moved 2 streets behind us. My boys have their cribs set up in the living room, while their clothes have a dresser in our room along with 2 other dressers and bed. For naps I have to alternate everyone in different cribs. I do this so the boys get as much sleep as they need being that they are still under a year and need 2 naps a day. We are becoming so cramped, and I try not to let the kids notice the stress I have. But as they grow, their clothes get bigger, out growing the small closet/dresser space we have. We are able to come up with the rent part, but not both the rent and security deposit. On top of moving fees of gas for the vehicals. After all that has happened. Our vehical is still having issues and there is a leak now that we can not figure out where it is coming from. So extra will be going to that. All I ask is the assistance of whatever you feel in your heart that you may be able to part with. I know times are hard for all of us. I am just wanting to get my family to a safer neighborhood where family lives right around the corner. My kids can have a yard to play in and each set of twins can have their own room. And I can have the much needed laundry room for our family of 6. Then our plan is to start saving to purchase a home. We are trying to do the best we can for our family. It has been so hard, knowing we get to the point where we are 2 steps ahead and fall 5 steps back. We have cut out a lot in attempt to save. Cable, eating out, I even stay home more to save gas. All we need to get over this speed bump is this deposit. I just want to be able to give our children the safety and space they need to be kids! I thank you for your time, I appreciate everyone who is able to help! May God bless you!
