House on the Horizon!!!

I don't know how to express such exciting news on the internet except by trying to SHOUT it through a blog post:

THE MCNEILS HAVE FOUND A HOME!!!!!!

Backstory:

Matt and Shannon McNeil are good friends from college, who have two beautiful kids with a terminal illness - Waverly and Oliver.   A couple of years ago, my friend Michele and I started a fundraiser called A Hundred for a Home.

Me, Shannon and Michele


The goal was to get 4000 people to donate $100 to raise $400,000 in order to help buy the McNeil's a home.  They have been in a small, two bedroom apartment for the last several years.  Check out this video to see the story:


Matt and Shannon have found a beautiful home that meets their needs for the kids.  Just a few days ago, they made an offer that was accepted!!  Since the house is a short sale, they have to patiently wait for the deal to go through.

With the help of hundreds of friends, family and strangers from over 43 states and 10 countries, A Hundred for a Home has raised $170,000!!!  We would love to get to $200,000 to minimized their mortgage payment as much as possible.  If you'd like to be a part of giving this gift of a home to the McNeil family, please go to the Hundred for a Home website and donate today!!!
