We received a phone call last night from a woman down the road from us...
she had heard about our situation in needing a home for Jo,
and she came forward to let us know that she wanted to rent out her home to her!

She was Hannah's girl scout leader, and is a wonderful woman in our community.
so we hopped in the car, went to get Jo to tell her the Good News and drove to the new home...
wouldn't you know, it just happens to be 3 doors down from Felicia? hahaha!!!!
the house needs TLC desperately...but is liveable.
I'm going to go to the Habitat store
for some paint & basics because Jo just can't afford anything right now...

I'm hoping to find her a washer/dryer and furniture
through one of our thrift shops

since being diagnosed terminal, Jo lost her house and everything that was of value had to be sold off to pay for medical bills......
she's also lost her teeth, her hair and a percentage of her hope...
(especially when this crazy landlady said to get out...)
I'm hoping this new house will bring some peace to her...

...it will be a relief to get Jo into the house,
where she can at least feel safe at night & get the rest she needs...
we have much work ahead, but with positive thoughts and the support and help from others,
I know things will work out fine...
they always seem to...

Jo (and I!) thank everyone here for your kind words, thoughts and actions,...
from the bottom, top, and sides of our weary little hearts!!!

I am so glad to hear the good news. Jo deserves to enjoy being with her sister and family and this will be so much better than dealing with that other mean, nosey old bat. Everything will be alright now and I'm so glad it's working out. I expect the angels fight on your side Lori. Take care and have a good Easter.
God Bless you for your outreach for your friend. God does provide. What a praise!!! So glad to hear the good news.
Lori,
What a wonderful lady she must be to offer to help. Your sister, her family and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Have a blessed Easter.

I am so pleased, I have been wondering all day since I read your previous post. I am delighted that something much better turned up, even though you have lots of work to do on it. I'm sure Jo will be much happier now.

Aww....sorry that the previous deal turned out the way it did! But what a blessing this one has come along! Will be keeping you all in thoughts and prayers that Jo gets settles soon and finds some peace. Have a blessed Easter!
How wonderful! People really do come through in a pinch.
I'm so glad you've found something (or should I say, it found you!). Blessing and good wishes for all of you.
That is GREAT news Lori! Give Jo a hug & smile for me!
I am so glad to hear that your sister will have a home..I wish you all the best.
I am so so glad that Jo has found a place to call home. You all sound so close and I'm glad she has you on her side. You are ALL in my thoughts.
I'm so glad your sister is going to have a place to call home. I'm sure it will be nice and cozy once you all give it a little TLC.
Happy Easter!
