Aji
Home. Now sort of living in the only completed rooms (upstairs bedroom & bath) — can’t totally move in until kitchen sink & internet are installed — but have heat & a working shower! New goal is 1 week’s payroll for a 4-guy crew.

Goal: $2,000
Progress: $50
|
Need to beat the winter with the plumbing and external work. Need payroll, Lowes cards (appliances), Home Depot cards (materials), Wayfair cards (or the Registries) for furnishings — due to mold nothing from the RV can be taken to the new house. But once they’re fully moved in they can live in that safe, warm, healthful place and breathe clean mold-free air while it’s being finished. |

Goal: $6,414
Progress: $2,442

Fighting a legal battle, very long backstory (damn assistance request, damn back story, damn back back story), lost the house; we helped her save the land and there things sat as (some of) the legal stuff played out. Needs in order of importance: vet bill ($37), ’85 Subaru station wagon ($220) backup transport, $200 for the LLC so she can set up the Paypal, and finally that storage pod ($3,175) — also electrician, culverts, and gravel (still can’t get estimates so I’m calling it $500).

2 of the pups are still puny but jtg and the other dogs are much better — he spent $600 he couldn’t afford at the vet. Still $200 to replace it.

Goal: $3,900

jtg rescued the mother and now has the babies as well — they’re all doing better and only 2 of the pups are still showing signs of it — so not as expensive as feared but still need $200 to cover what he paid the vet. |

Deductible on the car insurance (liability and collision) is $1K, don’t know yet about repair or replace on the car, and the medical bills (20% copay) are starting to come in. |
