Okay I have beed reading alot of posts the last couple of days and I though you know I have a problem and people have been so very nice so maybe someone here can help, IF YOU CANT PLEASE BUMP SO EVERYONE COULD READ PLEASE!!
Okay my family, my husband, me , and my three children are moving in about 2 or 3 weeks. We are moving from Lincoln Kansas. It is about 4 hrs from Kansas City. We are moving to Medford Oregon. It is about 2000 miles away.We have to move there because my husbands mom is very ill and they dont even know if she can make it until we get there. Here are my problems,
1. I AM TERRIFIED!!!
2. We are not going to have very much money, we have a whole 6 yrs of things for a whole house, we cannot afford a moving truck the cheapest i could find was $868.00 way too much. WE NEED SOME KIND OF TRAILER OR LUGGAGE RACK. I cannnot find one that is affordable. We have all these things that we will not be taking, 2 couches, 4 beds two twin and two full, several shelves, all sorts of dishes, pans, small applliences,you name it we have it. We have fairly nice things, WE ARE DESPRATE if you know or think you might know ANYONE in kansas that might be able to make some kind of deal with us (IE trade all households for small trailer of luggage rack) please email me PLEASE!!!
3. We will not have any where to stay when we get to Medford, we need somewhere to stay for like a month or so. We won;t have very much money so i am asking anyone who lives or knows someone who lives in the Medford area to inquire about rentals.
4. did i mention I AM SO SO SCARED GUYS, what am i going to do we arent much for saving because we are low income we live paycheck to paycheck. i am very terrified please help anyway you can PLEASE PRAY FOR US ALSO! WE NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET!!I am really worried and scared, this is the biggest challenge in my life so far, i know there are worse things, but i am struggling with this one REAL BAD!

First-CALM DOWN. Moves are stressful, money troubles are stressful, but look at what you have: A wonderful husband who loves his family and sounds like you're both young and healthy. Whatever happens will happen and you will get through to the other side of it and be stronger for it. No kidding and I'm speaking from experience. When my husband was layed off his job we had to sell our house and move and had little money, took a cut in pay but we knew we'd get through it with each other to rely on. Be the person your husband can rely on espectially now with his mother so ill.
You're worried about STUFF. All material goods can be replaced. Yeah, I know, it's a pain in the rear but it doesn't take as long as you think. If you bargain shop and hit Good Will and yard sales you can pick up where you left off in no time. Does your MIL have things she can loan you when you get there? Can someone in the family make you a personal loan to get you there and let you pay it back at say $50 /mo.? Take just the expensive hard to replace items and garage sale the rest. You'll make enough to get you there and you can worry about starting over once you're there. Don't forget to yard sale at the beginning of the month as people get payed then and SSI checks also come in.
Also I've been to both Kansas and Oregon and I prefer Oregon. The place is absolutely beautiful. Enjoy the adventure in getting there. Go through Yellowstone on your way and make a few stops to catch you breath and see the sights. THis truly can be a grand adventure if you let it.

I just wanted to tell you that I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I truly hope things will work out, and I have a feeling they will. I know it can be scary, but just band together as a family and you will see that things will not look as bleak.

(((((HUGS)))))

perhaps things will be for the best. you guys might even find better paying jobs up there as i am sure the job market is larger. perhaps this will help you out in the long run.

sorry to hear about your mother in law, i hope you guys make it out in time to see her.

**Unicornmom77** · 07-27-2002, 08:51 PM

thank you so much all of you i am feeling better with every post GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Hold the mother of all garage sales then hit the sales when you get there. Pack only stuff of sentimental value. Everything else will be cash for the trip.
