Jan 28, 2010

I have bad news. Anaya started having seizures last night. I was up with her all night and I've made the decision that we must move closer to Nelson. We have to give up our beautiful home here in Procter. Anaya is very fragile right now and we need to maintain her comfort as best we can. She is our highest priority. Please help us find a place to live. I have to break the news to my landlords, I know they'll be sad to see us go. I wish with all my heart we could stay.

Home Needed in or very near Nelson for family of 4. One of our children, our youngest daughter, Anaya, has a very serious medical condition and we need to move to be closer to medical services (Dr's, Hospital, Hospice). Currently we live 45 minutes from town and it's too far in emergencies. Optimally we need a two or three bedroom house/ unit/duplex /townhouse/ suite that is accesible without too many stairs. We need to reduce our expenses so that we can spend time with her as she completes her life journey. We'd love to spend less than $1000 but can afford up to $1300.

We are outdoor enthusiasts and take pride in keeping our yard beautiful. For the past 1.5 years we've been responsible for an acreage with fruit trees, perennial gardens and way too much lawn - and we took good care of it. We love it here but we must move. Please help us find an awesome new home!

We are responsible respectful tennents with excellent landlord references. We have a medium well behaved dog but are willing to give him up if need be. Please if you have a place call us. If you know of someone else - please have them call us. 250.509.0593

If you wish you could help but don't know how please contribute to Anaya's moving Fund by clicking the donate now button on the right of the blog.

  4. Oh Camara I'm so sad to read about Anaya having seizures. I'm sick that you have to move now, too, on top of caring for her. I am sending all of you my love, and I will make a donation to you tonight. xo

  5. I also have been following your family´s journey since the article in the Calgary Herald. Anaya has never been far from my thoughts, I just pray that she can be as comfortable as possible. Having spent Christmas in Nelson I know the people there are extremely kind and generous people, hopefully you can find somewhere to live soon! Also I´m sure you may have come across this website before but if not I think you should check it out, a very moving and inspirational family...www.storyofjudson.com.

  6. Ugh, as if you needed the stress of moving on top of everything else. If potential landlords are giving you issues with your pooch please get in touch - there are lots of us that work in animal rescue and we may be able to help out in some way.

  7. I just read your blog for the first time, and I want to send you and your little one big hugs and blessings and lots of healing light and love. You have such a beautiful family, and you are such a beautiful, kind mama. I can't imagine how hard this last year has been, yet you are facing the challenges with such grace and courage and honesty. I hope you get the support you need to continue providing the best care possible for your sweet baby. Please use my small donation for the move, I wish I could offer much more. I hope you find the perfect place to live in Nelson!

  8. Camara, I am very sad and sorry to hear that Anaya has started having seizures. I know that you knew this progression would happen but I can only imagine how hard it is to watch and try to comfort your sweet Anaya. I hope you are well and able to get some rest and keep your health through this all. Good luck with your new house hunt, I will put the word out! Much love to you. xox
