Spiritual Sisters In Travel Campaign

Enhancing Lives Thru Transitional Housing -Donate at Indiegogo.com
 
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Nov. 23, 2013 - PRLog -- Short Summary

 Spiritual Sisters in Travel (SST) organized our group because we desired to explore GOD's extraordinary places with other Christians through travel in our leisure time. We are a Christian based social travel group who promote positive community projects in between our traveling schedule which is conducted bi-annually.

 This will be our first major project with projected completion date of August 30, 2014. Our Campaign is important to us because we will be coordinating transitional housing for individuals and families relocating to the Fort Lauderdale, Florida area from another state. They will have an opportunity to live temporarily inexpensively compared to hotel prices while looking for work or (they have a job already in place). In addition, they are waiting and preparing to move into their permanent home.

 My name is Donna Robinson, Vice President of SST and I am truly committed to this project because I remember when I and my daughter relocated to another state with only a few dollars...just enough to eat and sleep somewhere cheap. Thank goodness a cheap semi-decent hotel was available for our budget. A bed, shower, and a microwave kept us going for about three weeks. By then I had a job and an apartment. With the economy still trying to rebuild itself, this form of assistance will be very beneficial.

Contributors will ultimately help our organization jump start our project enabling us to welcome our first families into housing such as the property enclosed in our Campaign.

What We Need & What You Get

Spiritual Sisters is trying to reach our goal of $150,000 to partake in HomePath Properties from Fannie Mae or low priced properties. To read and understand more about these type properties please go to www.homepath.com. Also view below one of our property goals. This home can house at least three (3) small families.


$124,900, 5 Beds, 4 Baths |
2,505 sq. ft. | Single-Family

This is a very large 2 story home. The land is zoned as multi-family so the home could be converted to a multi-family home. There are multiple rooms throughout giving you the option to have more bedrooms, living rooms, dens or more! with this available space, the sky is the limit.

Breakdown of funds: $125,000 =Property; $15,000=Fees ie; Appraisal, Inspection, Repairs; $7,000=Furnishings ie; beds and other décor etc. $3,000=Transportation ie; gas, bus, & train vouchers for individuals/families. If not this property, another one much similar. This is our initial goal, then as we grow, we can pursue a larger building similar to the size of a small hotel/motel.

Note: For complete clarity, we are not investors, traditional landlords, or focusing on low income families for permanent housing. We are not a non-profit organization and we are not affiliated with any government entity, for example, the Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  Our mission is totally different.

Perks for our Contributors will be your Name or Organization recognition listed on our project materials, or engraved on the properties acquired, or a photo displayed in the common area to show our deepest appreciation for your contribution, or a travel gift card toward your future vacation, or you can remain anonymous. All perks depend on contribution amount.

The Impact

The success of this Campaign will impact the life of many individuals/families who desire to relocate immediately for a new job or just in general but right now there seems to be no assistance in place to help with a smooth transition. Yes, it's true, not even some businesses relocating their employees offer assistance. If you want the job, you had better pick up and go quickly and settle where you can.

As we know, traveling to another city and state to set-up camp can be frightening and confusing especially if you do not know where to begin. SST wants to eliminate that fear.  Questions arise..."Should we stay here or with relatives? (lucky if you have some in the area). Our transitional housing will provide the very basic living necessities getting those from point A to point B. Length of stay in transitional housing will range from one (1) week up six (6) months.

SST has supported these entities and events: Ronald McDonald House; Family Promise; Habitat for Humanity; Evangelism Workshops; Singles Ministry; Prayer Drive Through; Annual Walk-a-Thon for Breast Cancer and Domestic Violence; Goodwill Industries; Women In Distress donations; patronizing HomePath/Fannie Mae properties; and performing bidding activities on County websites for distress properties to achieve our goal.
