Iam Writing in regards to the house boat getaway. I belive my family needs a getaway, the past two years has been so hard words can't describe. My family is extremly close and extremly loving family. On May 10th 2008 my brother Kyle passed away in a boating accident he was prefishing for a tournment with my dad. My brother was missing for 5 days before we found him. When my brother died a part of everyone in my family died as well. Not a day goes by that I wish I could give just give my brother a hug. My four year old neice wishes every year on her birthday that her uncle kyle could come back and be with our family again. Work has been hard as well my dad is in construction and it is very hard to find work. my mom is a realtor and as you know houses are not selling. we all work so hard and try so hard. Things are diffcult but we thank the lord everyday for our family. I'm 25 and can't remember the last time we had a family vacation. We would be extremly greatful for you to consider my family for the house boat getaway.
I know my family needs this getaway to bring us back togeather.
