We are a small rural family, and our objective is to add a small bedroom for our little girl.
Marlborough
We are a family of four (hubby -34, myself-34, my stepson of almost 6 years old and our little girl of 3 and half years old). We live in a rural area, a little bit isolated; there are a few farms and a few resorts. We work at a resort 20 minutes driving on a gravel road. We have solar power, so we can run TV, fridge and lights but we cannot run microwaves, toasters, jugs, heaters, driers, nothing like that. We are fine with all that, we manage our days well, and we still have an old style stove and oven heated by firewood and also to heat our water. We love living there, my husband grew up in the same house and we bought it 5 years ago. The place needs lots of renovations, some parts is just the painting holding it together. We had plans to have the house for holidays only when we first bought it but as circumstances changes, we lost our jobs and I had a chance to get a job at a resort. So we moved, and now we both work at the resort, our boy goes to the local school which is wonderful. Our little girl comes to work with us and we do correspondence pre school until mid next year when she will be starting school. As a small income family with mortgage and all the insurances and bills to pay turned out to be very hard to save the money for renovations. We made a few improvements in the last 5 years so we could be more self sufficient, and that was a lot of learning for both of us.
Saving a bit every fortnight we only see our little girl bedroom being added in years to come, so we are asking to the very good heart people with a bit of extra to help us achieve this big objective in life.
thank you very much
