Hey guys

http://www.indiegogo.com/lovelyhopes

The picture up is the picture I took on the phone and sent to my email one of the first days we started living in our car.. it's a picture of my husband and cat looking out the window before we get ready to call it a day and take a nap..it was a bad day :/

Hi everyone I'm chosing to keep my name annonymous, if that's okay.

I'm a married teenager with a cat.. we're living in my husbands car and it's honestly been a struggle for us.. we move from walmart parking lot to the next.

　

Our cat has her own space in the backseat with her litterbox and food/water set up.

ATTENTION:

we take very good care of our cat.. on "good days"

we put her harnest on and let her run around a local park.

(we feel she needs to get out as much as possible and stretch her legs)

My husband has a landscaping job… he doesn't make much at all though. We live off his paycheck but have nothing left over.

His paycheck pays for all of the listed.

Cat food and cat litter
Food for us to eat
Gas
We buy one day gym passes just to use the showers
Laundry Mat to wash our clothes
The list goes on…

and we never have enough to put aside to try to get a place of our own..

While my husband is at work, I take care of our cat, sometimes if we're parked next to stores I'll walk around and window shop. I'll get fresh air or take a run.. the other day I was surfing the net and found a video of kids teasing a bus driver.. it broke my heart.. I was crying with her. Me and my husband have such little money but I donated $5.00 anyways.. I felt God means it when he says.. if you give.. you'll recieve more.. so I'm hoping that'll happen.

I wasn't going to make a page because I don't like begging and I'm honestly embarassed and ashamed of our situation but I thought I'd leave it in God's hands and see if this works out..

I'm trying to raise money so me and my husband can get an apartment of our own.. I'm hoping we can have enough raised to put a down payment and pay off a couple months.. I'm not sure as to where we want to find a place but the searching will begin if we get the money raised..

I'd also like to buy a bed, some furniture… just things we need… we are not in the position to buy stuff we "want" .. not yet that is.

Please find it in your heart to help us out.

　

the trunk is our closet.. it's where we keep all our clothes..

the backseat is where we keep our other things and it's also where my cats stuff is and where she sleeps. It's very important me and my husband get out and stretch because us sleeping seperate in our car seats are killing our backs. :(

Our Story:

we both come from very small families…

both of them were against our marriage.. my family stopped speaking to me because I married him and his family told him they'd never accept me..

so we chose to move away..

we both had a lot of money saved because we had good jobs.. but we quit to move to San Antonio, Texas… where we found a room to rent out.. with a woman who posted she had a room available on craigslist. We lived with her for 5 months.

but she told us we had 10 days to leave because she was having her sister move in.. she felt very badly but we didn't want to be a bother so we packed up and left.

we have no one but each other and everyday we are praying for a miracle.

MY HUSBAND DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS

He's at work right now and I'm supposed to pick him up in in 2 hours. it's 7PM right now on 6/21/12

I want to do this not only for us but mainly for him.

He has done nothing but love me.. he tries so hard to bring home money and he tries so hard to take care of me.. I know he's struggling and I know he's depressed.. I wish I could be the one with the job..

the one taking care of him but he'd never let that happen..

unless it was through a website like this and he didn't know!

His birthday is in July. He will be 19 years old and I know I could turn both our lives around if I do this and earn money for us…

My plan:

Is to earn money so that on his birthday, I can surprise him by dressing up really pretty.. taking him out for fancy sushi and telling him everything I did.. then showing him the amount in our bank account.. and telling him that we are looking for an apartment as soon as possible.. then getting to go to the store and getting a little furniture..

his heart would smile if it could… I can see it now. That is my dream to make my husband proud. He deserves this… working till early morning to late night.. not coming home to a home cooked mean but instead leftovers from a cheap fastfood place.. then having to sleep in a car seat that can't even go all the way back.. it breaks my heart.. it makes me feel like he should have never married me, instead listened to his family so he could at least sleep in a warm bed.

I know if I can make this happen for both of us…

he'll be proud of me.. that's all I long for.

　

What we go through:

We have to buy CHEAP food at fast food places, everyday.

We buy daily gym passes to take showers. $10 each.. and my husband gets one everyday because he works in hard labor and needs one /:

If we don't have money for it, we go to a car wash and use the sink to wash up in.

We use A LOT of gas because we're constantly looking for a new job for him..

We park outside hotels and starbucks to get internet ..like i'm doing now.

we have had to pawn everything valuable to us.. his xbox 360, our good laptop, we kept the crappy one.. lots of games and dvds.. we're down to the bone when it comes to having our nice stuff being sold.. we even had to pawn his wedding ring but we got it back when we pawned other stuff and used half his paycheck..

I don't want people feeling sorry for us.

I know we're EVEN LUCKY TO HAVE A CAR to sleep in. I know we're lucky to have money for FOOD. God blessed us with that.. but like I said,

I want to surprise my husband and make him proud.

I know his heart would fill with joy if I got to do this for him.

Guys go an help? Even just $1?

TL;DR

guys got married kicked out fell in love bla bla live in a car have a job but not paid enough to afford flat

Not being harsh, maybe a bit skeptical but is there proof this isn't another one of those sap stories written by a 12 year old wanting more money for something like RS GP?

I should try to write a story like that. Seems profitable.

Yeah right.

B.S

They can get on welfare like everyother person thats in "this situation" and actually be able to afford livable housing.

Biggest BS around

So they spend $10 each on showers a day? So $600 a month on showers? Seems like they need to learn how to spend money.

Meh, to be fair, if he takes one every day and she takes one every OTHER day, that's still $450 a month on just taking showers…why wouldn't you buy a membership for like $40-50 a month?

Such a fake story. Soooooo fake.

Already raised $525

Can someone write a story for me ? Best story will get 50% cut.

Lol ^ Exactly what I was thinking.. Why not get a 20$ Tent + Cheap ass air bed n Set it up somewhere if you were desperate enough I'm sure you would Find somewhere Suitable.. 2 Put it.
Fast Food is not cheap, their are very cheap Gas Canister Cookers/Stoves that you can cook a lot of cheap meals on and boil water with.
A Cat with a Litter Box.. in a car? Lol As if wouldn't you just let it outside if it was getting fed, It's going to come back cats work like that their not Animals who get lost easily. 10$ a Shower Ea? I'd rather boil a f*****g massive Pot of Water over a fire and wash with a cloth than waste that much $ on that shit every day..

This is actually me and my partner :/

U lie.. u lie

Scams like this are why people are even more reluctant to give money to any "cause".

its not really me.. but come on guys have a little heart :P If you think its a scam then dont bother :(

To be honest i did not read this, its too much to read and i am drunk. In my opinion, you must have done something wrong to end up like this, MANY people live on single incomes at minimum wage, are these couple any different? why are they more deserving of my $1?

Its a sad story, but I don't really believe it. I saw someone say something about welfare- and they are dead on. This couple can get on welfare and get an apartment and food on that check, plus they will have the guys landscaping checks. He must SUCK at landscaping because landscapers make quite a bit, even if it's mowing lawns- teens who mow lawns in the summer make a killing.
On a side note
WHY DO THEY HAVE A CAT!?!
It will only provide health hazards and shed on everything. Say a hail mary and toss Whiskers out the window, she keeps bitching about how hard it is to pay for everything when like 3 things are cat necessities.
And they drive around looking for a job for HIM? He has a job, why not get HER a job? Double income is better than single…

EDIT: Just looked at the website… they have raised $630 from 25 people. They also have a gallery full of gross photos of their car that have been photo edited using sepia.

Last little note…
They buy a gym pass for $10. For a shower. There has GOT to be a place where you can get a shower for cheaper. Beaches usually have showers…

Almost believable…

They are idiots. He is her husband at the age of 18. He should been in school. She is stupid and has no job but decided to move out to marry her 18 year old boyfriend. They take showers expensive as f*ck. They probably drive in an american car sucking gaz through the carbs at unknown high volumes. They eat fastfood because they are to lazy to cook themselves some food. Even if I had to pay for my house I am cheaper then them.

If it's true, they need to learn to budget.

IMO, get rid of the cat and save a few $$$ a month.
