We are so excited to be buying a home! The last step is reaching our down payment goal. We are using HomeFundIt to make it easy for friends and family to contribute to our down payment. Click “Contribute Now” on this page to give online with a debit or credit card. As an added bonus, we will get $2 for every $1 raised, through a lender matching grant on a portion of your donations. There is also an online shopping feature called “UpIt” where a percentage is pledged back to our down payment. So when you shop, make sure you stop by our campaign page first and visit the UpIt Store link under the “Contribute Now” button. We hope you’ll be a part of our home buying journey, and we’d be forever grateful for any contributions or shares!
