This has been quite an exhausting two weeks to say the least, however, it has also been a very rewarding and heartfelt experience. My family and I recently had a financial crisis hit the very core of our household. Foreclosure was eminent in the future of our Treehouse Gallery/Studio. This is not just an ordinary art studio, it also serves as our home. We had about 10 days before they would be coming to shut the doors and tell us to leave and we had exhausted all of our funds trying to keep one step ahead of being evicted. Where could we go? What could we do?
We turned to our friends and followers on the social media site Twitter and told them of our plight and our needs. Within 10 days, donations that were collected was exactly enough money to stop the foreclosure. I cannot express the tremendous amount of gratitude that I have for all who gave their time, their donations, and their up-lifting words of encouragement. They were there offering alternative ways to earn money, bits of humor to keep our spirits up, and genuinely giving us strength to keep going when there were so many times we could have given up.
If there were ever a time when I needed to believe, this was definitely it. I was putting my family's fate in their hands and trusting that everything was going to be alright.
Everything is going to be alright. We are home. Our Home.
Thank you fellow twitter folks and all who have helped make this possible.
Bless You All
