My family and I live in a crappy part of town. We rent from my uncle because they can’t afford to buy a house. In the last four years that we’ve lived here, we’ve had a lot of stuff happen that made us uncomfortable. Things like people breaking into our garage and stealing our bikes or expensive tools. Someone broke our basement window. Graffitied our porch. Time and time again, people break into my dad’s car and steal whatever money they can find. We’ve had a drug addict knock on our door, and it’s always “fun” to see what type of alcohol bottles or cigarette butts are left on our steps. There was a stabbing next door.

But this past weekend was the last straw.

Someone broke into our house. I was at work, and my parents went out for a Valentine's dinner. My two younger siblings were home. A woman came around the side of the house and let herself in through the back door. When my siblings thought our parents came home, they were scared to see a strange woman holding a deer antler as a weapon. She said things like “Come on, let’s just go for a walk” and “I’m friendly, it’s okay.”. My younger sister lured her outside and then quickly rushed back inside the house, but the woman caught the door with the antler and prevented the door from being shut all the way. Over time, the woman sat down on the back steps and just seemed to give up. My sister opened the door quickly and tossed the antler out the door, then shut and locked it. During all this, my brother was calling 911. The cops came quickly and found the woman lying on her side in the backyard. Shortly after all this happened, my parents and I came home and found my siblings crying inside the living room. There’s no doubt about it that they’re traumatized by this experience.

So, I’m asking you for help. My parents work hard and have tried to save money over the last four years, but it never seems to be enough. I am asking that you give us just enough money that it will finally be enough so we can buy a house and get away from this horrible, unsafe area. We need to get out; none of us feel safe in our home anymore.
