I'm currently an Oklahoma Teacher living in a small one bedroom apartment with my partner of two years, and our rent has been increasing every year.  The cost of owning a home is much easier on our budget, and will provide a bigger home with which to foster children. I currently have been approved by Arvest Bank for a $90,000 loan, but need the help getting the down payment together without having to liquidate all of my retirement savings. My health insurance costs my somewhere around $650 (employer-sponsered) and my rent for an extended 3 months would be more than the associated costs of renting.  
I need help.  I made an offer of 87,500 on a house, but the closing costs and down payment are close to $6,700. Currently, I would like to live, work, and to stay and teach in Oklahoma.  This will help me start settling here and becoming a part of the community in which I live, work, and serve.
I just want to thank you in advance for reading this email.  

Sincerely, 

Eulalia Griffith
