Family of 9 in need of Home

Donation protected
Hi my name is Brooke, this is my family and I am hoping this gofundme will reach the hearts of many to help us along our way.  Here's a little backstory for you.  Although these are not my biological children, I am their mother and I have promised to be here for them forever.  I met these children in 2014 when one of the little girls came into my salon to get her hair done for her birthday.  She invited me to her party, where I met the rest of her siblings.  Their dad at the time was a single parent, we hit it off immediately and I've been with these children ever since. 3 years ago their dad stepped away from the family.  They remained in my care temporarily until I recently gained full guardianship of them this year.  We have been through some really hard times together and taken on many losses, primarily their family home.  I am currently renting a house, in which my landlord was kind enough to understand our situation.  However, due to the pandemic she now needs to move back into her home, which in turn leaves the children and I squandering for a new place to live.  She has been great to us and I would love to give her back the house, but its been impossible to find a new home that will accept 9 children and 3 dogs with a single mom. I have lost my business since Covid, I am already on a limited income and trying to stretch every dollar I can.  While we have always had the support and blessings from our family, friends and church, which we so much appreciate,  I find myself again in a compromising position.  

I'm asking to reach a goal of $4000, as this would assist us in a security deposit and an extra months rent on another rental property.  Also if there are any homeowners reading this or anyone who knows of someone that would allow a large to family to rent out their property, please let me know.   Thank you so much for your time!

Brooke B.
