I'm a single adoptive mom. In 2004 I became a licensed foster parent. Shortly after, a nine year old girl was placed in my home. I was asked the question "If this case plan changes to adoption, would you consider adopting her?" Without hesitation, I said yes. In June of 2006 this little girl became my daughter when I finalized her adoption. She is not so little anymore, because she turned 13 years old this year.
I would like to open my home and my heart to another child in foster care. But first, I need to get a home. I'm currently living with family, because I faced some financial struggles in learning to be a single parent. But I am rebuilding financially as I am starting a new full time position with a new build early child hood eduction center.
I've already found an available home in a safe neighborhood as a lease with option to buy. The owner is very open to working with me by allowing me to pay half the deposit upfront, along with the first month lease payment. But I need $2500 to get into the home.
I've been searching the internet for a grant of some kind which I would qualify for. I need a grant for this deposit, because I will not qualify for a traditional loan until I do some credit repair. It is very difficult to find legitimate information about grants and no credit check loans without causing my email inbox to be full of Spam mail.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I don't know if I'm allowed to ask for donations here, but if anyone would be able to help me with the $2500, I would be willing to set up a monthly payment plan with you to pay the funds back.
Thank you for your consideration.
