Write A House - The Blossom House

Thank you to everyone that made the giving campaign for the second house successful. The renovations are now complete and we will award this home at an event on Friday in Detroit. Please join us.

We've purchased a third home and have started that fundraising process here: https://fundly.com/write-a-house-the-apple-house

This house will begin renovations next week and will be completed by the end of 2015.

Hello friend of Write A House,

Okay! Here's where we are at. We are working on finishing up the second house, our judges our reading submissions for our second author, and we have secured a third home we will start renovating before the end of the year.

Three is a magic number.

It's always the third person who says "I'm in" who starts the road trip. It's always the third person who says "Let's do it" who starts the revolution. It's always the third person who says "I've got three bucks" who makes that late night pizza you maybe shouldn't even eat (but it's soooo good) possible.

This third house is going to make for a great home, it's in the same neighborhood - sometimes called NoHam cause it's north of Hamtramck, sometimes call SODA cause it's south of the Davidson Freeway, sometimes called Banglatown because it is home to a strong Bangladeshi community. It is a great neighborhood, home to our lots of good folk.

We are hoping that we can get donations (from you!) to help with the renovation of this home. We're a 501(c)3, so it's tax deducatable. We can send you a tee shirt or a book back or some pencils or a very eloquent thank you note, whatever your heart desires! But please give and spread the word.

You will be supporting the arts (clearly) and Detroit (maybe that speaks to some of you, okay) and vocational training (who doesn't love that!)

And if you're curious what it's like to pack up your life and your cat and move to Detroit, read our first writer Casey Rocheteau's blog on our website. Very moving, eloquent, funny, insightful stuff. Just what you'd expect from someone whose writing is so good we gave 'em a house.

Please support us. We will be in touch to tell you more as things unfold over the next few months. Like the purchase maybe of our fourth house (hallelujah! maybe!)

Thanks for everything. Every dollar counts, though a hundred dollars counts a lot more than one dollar, and so on.

Onward!
