The latest difficulty that we have been working through is that our girls are being evicted from their home in December. This has not come as a surprise, because there are way too many girls in the home (over 30 in 1500 square feet!). We are drawing close to that day though and have only one option- buy a home for the girls.
If you are like us, you may be very frustrated to hear we are purchasing/building another facility that is not on our land. We feel we must stabilize what we have now before we can consider any more growth.
We have found a home that is located about 2 blocks from the boys dorm. It will be sufficient as a home for our girls. It will require some minor repairs and electricity, but is possible to have ready by December.
Some of the good news is:
1. It is located near the boys so we will be able to maintain and staff one kitchen for all the children.
2. All the kids could possibly be in one or two schools next year instead of 4 like the present situation.
3. We would no longer have to transport the girls back and forth for church and prayer times. They could walk! This would free up 2 jeeps and drivers!
4. They have an entire field in front of their house that is an open area to play in. Presently, they have a very small rocky area.
We are hoping to make a down payment on this house THIS week (Oct. 6th). The total cost of the home is $25,000. We need all the money before the end of November. Can you help?
