irishwitch and her hubby, Packhorse (aka Ben) are moving from Georgia to New England. It's been a rough year for them. They lost their house and had to move in with Ben's mother. It has not been smooth sailing between them and the MiL, but the opportunity has come for them to move back to where they are comfortable, and where they have friends. Everything is set up. They have somewhere to stay in New England while they apartment hunt and get settled. But they still need our help hiring a moving company to get them to their old stomping grounds.
Both of them are no longer young sprigs (they are "mature" in years, if not in thoughts) and beset by health issues. Packhorse had a quintuple bypass just over a year ago, and irishwitch has some nasty back issues. Neither one of them should be packing up a U Haul with all their worldly possessions and 4 cats, then travelling for 2 days in a bumpy van.
This is a continuation of a fundraiser held for them a few days ago. You can read more about it here.
We have already raised $1300 of the $2000 we need to help irishwitch and Packhorse hire a moving company. That leaves just $700 left to go!
Well done, You!!! But we can do more!!
As last time, we are using
paypal and their account # is: benjamin7972@att.net
