I have tried to post this a few times and it just wouldn’t show up. Technology is great until it isn’t. 👎🏽 😂

Hopefully this time will be the charm!
NEED: Marshall’s gift cards for some teens who have found themselves dealing with the sudden loss of their long time guardian and the only stable home they’ve ever known.
This next part of the request is a little out of the ordinary, but ties into taking care of the above kids by helping the young couple (other family members) who stepped in and stepped up.
They have depleted their savings having to relocate back to the area at the drop of a hat, pay for a funeral, pay legal fees to get custody of the kids, pay the ongoing costs associated with the estate, and having to suddenly work on fixing up a run down property/home they had previously purchased MUCH sooner and way differently than they had planned on to accommodate becoming an overnight large family… AND helping the children through their grief and upheaval all while grieving themselves.
They had originally hoped they could just stay in the previous guardian’s home so the kids wouldn’t have to move, but no go. The estate is in probate and NO ONE can occupy it until it is settled.
To say it has been a whirlwind for them is an understatement.
If you’d be willing to donate any Menards gift cards or rebate slips to help them fix up the house, that would be AWESOME! Grocery cards would be helpful as well. Having to suddenly feed multiple teenagers is wild and not cheap 😂
If you have any left over building supplies (lumber, flooring, etc), let me know what you have and I’ll check with their worker to make sure if it is something they can use to help them make the space more suitable for a suddenly large family, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Jenny
