Hello, my name is David Posner and I am 27 years old.  I moved to Israel, my biblical homeland, with my family eight years ago.  We are a family of five; my Mother, Father, younger sister and 97 year old Grandmother.  We are all American citizens and very proud of it.  As you can imagine, it is difficult to become accustomed to living in a new country that has a new language, new customs and new laws.  Over the past eight years my parents both became very sick and my Grandmother began to suffer from the effects of old age. During that time our financial situation has become very Dificult.  My father has not been able to work since his cancer surgery and my mother is disabled.  My sister is trying to get into College and I am the only one working. 

As we have been blessed to manage from day to day to get the food and medicine we need to survive, we find ourselves in a very bad situation with our current landlord.  We have had trouble keeping up with our rent and the landlord has told us to get out!  We are trying to find a more affordable place to live and are trying to move before he evicts us; unfortunately that is coming soon.  The big problem is putting together the funds for our moving expenses.  We will need to pay our first month rent, a real estate agency fee, any unpaid electric and water bills and paying the moving company.  As you all know, it is critical to have a roof over your head, especially when you are old and in poor health.  I am doing my best to help my family on my own, but putting together a “move” is way out of my reach all alone.  Making sure my family is secure is critical to my existence and theirs.

Your help will make it possible for my family to keep a roof over their head.  The stress of the daily threats from our landlord to evict us is making my parent’s health suffer.  Even though my Grandmother suffers from the effects of old age, she is still aware enough that something is wrong and we can see the negative effect on her.  My sister may postpone going to college to try and help the family,which is something we are trying to avoid. I am doing the best I can to keep it all together for everyone.  I have seen how you have all gotten together and participated in other people’s campaigns to help them reach their goals. Our's is a matter of survival and I know I can count on YOU!

 

We sat down and did a moving budget and figured out that in order to get out of our current apartment and into a new one, with the first month’s rent paid we need to raise a total of $2,500. (USD).   As I stated in my introduction, this will cover the following: first month rent, a real estate agency fee, any unpaid electric and water bills and the paying the moving company.

In return for your help we will be able to provide you wonderful people with the following:

For a contribution of $5.00 we will send you a “Thank You” email.

For a contribution of $25.00 we will send you a “Custom Postcard” with a beautiful scene of Israel on it (photo taken by my Dad) with a Thank You on the back.

For a contribution of $50.00 we will arrange an On-line video “Thank You Conversation” with my family, the Custom Postcard and the Thank You email.

If for some reason we don’t reach our entire goal of $2,500.00, we will either save the funds to put together with funds for a future campaign to make another attempt to reach our goal or use the funds to help defend us in a legal battle with our landlord to prevent our eviction; or at least postpone it until we can work something out.

 

Your participation in our campaign will help make a difference not only in our lives, but in the overall problem of homelessness.  There are too many people in America and Worldwide who are either being evicted, losing their homes or becoming homeless.  By participating in our campaign and making it possible for people to help others through Indiegogo’s wonderful services, you are making a difference in the condition of the World, one person and one family at a time!

Most people are too embarrassed to ask for help, but you the reader, are making us feel like part of your family and part of the World Community.  We all need to be able to count on each other and work together to get important things done.  We need your help and are having faith in all of you to help us have Shelter; a basic need of life.  We, the Posner Family, are counting on you to help us and let us know that we are not alone in this world!

 

Friends, we know that not all of can afford to contribute with tangible cash, but there is a way that you CAN help!  Please use your power of communication to spread the word and tell people about our very important campaign.  There is Power and Safety in numbers and today’s Social Media Avenues are a great place for you to help tell our story and get your friends involved.

Remember that Indiegogo, the people who are making it possible for us to speak to you have share tools to help you spread the word!

 

Thank you in advance for all your generous help!
