#BnS117 - The Hawthorne Project - Part IX
The deadline for this challenge is 24th April 2019
It has been awhile since you’ve had any applicants for the Hawthorne project, and your heart skips a beat as you spot the subject line of your next email: RE: Hawthorne Project - Please, we’re desperate!
You quickly open the message, and what you read has you ready to spring into action. This family is truly what Mrs. Emmeline Hawthorne had in mind when she started her philanthropy in the first place. You can’t believe it’s already been almost 6 months since the venerable Mrs. Hawthorne passed away. At 110 it wasn’t really so unexpected, you muse; it was just that her force of will and stage presence had made her seem larger than life and invincible. Shaking your head to clear your thoughts, you click on the email and begin to read...
Dear Hawthorne Project,
I’m sure you hear this all the time, but I really never thought I would end up in this situation. I married young, and we immediately began a family. I should have seen the signs then. How controlling he could be, how angry he would get over the slightest things. But he was so handsome, and I was in love. By the time it occurred to me what was really happening, we already had one child, and the second was on the way.
I thought that as long as his abuse was directed at me, I could take it, for the sake of the children growing up in a whole family. And I did take it. It wasn't until a few years later, when I was now pregnant with our third child, that I realized the true danger of being with him. One morning, I noticed a bruise on our oldest daughter’s arm. At first, I thought my husband had finally flipped and started in on our children, and I was FURIOUS! But when I confronted Alexis about it, she told me it was from a boy at school. But what really made my heart break, is when she told me that it must mean the boy wants to marry her and have a family like me and daddy. It’s time to go, and I am taking the kids with me.
The three of us are currently sharing a room at my mom's house in Brindleton Bay, but it's much too small for us, and worse, my husband will come looking. I don't have a job, or any real workable skills, but I am willing to find something. I used to play the guitar when I was younger, and have a little skill in that. I also think myself a decent cook, spending several years running the household. Maybe I can find something along those lines... Still, I expect money will be tight.
I'm not looking for anything too fancy. Even with the gift of a house, I know the future bills will still need to get paid. I'd like to have something with 3 bedrooms. The girls can share, but i don't want them being hassled every time the baby wakes in the night, and if it's a boy, we'll need the extra room as they grow.
Two bathrooms would be nice, one for me and one for the kids, but it's not necessary. Eat-in Kitchen would be wonderful, and less space needed than a full dining room. And of course, a living room. Most importantly, is plenty of backyard space. I really want the kids to be able to spend lots of time playing outside, with maybe a swing, or some monkey bars. Definitely no pools though! The thought of one of my babies wandering in there unsupervised really scares me. A washtub and clothes line would be nice too. I could get some laundry done while keeping an eye on the kids play time. And maybe a little shady spot for me to sit and read too.
Please, it would mean the world if you could help us start over. I promise I won’t let anyone put me in this position again. I have to make things better for my girls than I was willing to accept for myself.
Sincerely,
Dayana

ENTRY DETAILS: Dear Ms Lilard
We have a new home for you and your kids. It is located in Willow Creek, that should be far enough away from your former husband. We tried to meet all your wishes:
It's a one story home with three bedrooms. One for the girls, with an art table for your art ambitious daughter and a special toddler bed for the little girl. The toddler playthings are scattered throughout the house, so the little one can find something to do wherever you are. The nursery for the unborn is as colorful as the girls room. between the kids rooms there is the family bathroom. it has two sinks and a big tub'n'shower, the potty for the toddler is in there too.
The living kitchen area we kept open plan so it will be easier for you to have an eye on your children. There you find a chess table, an easel, a sitting area with TV an electronic piano, a guitar, and a computer desk with computer.
In the kitchen area we opted for a big table instead of counter seating. Here you can have family dinners together and supervise the homework of your school children.
From the seating area you step out onto the back porch, where the necessary clothes-washing-tub and clothes-drying-line are. from here you have access to a small alcove where we put in a treadmill for you.
In the garden there is also a basketball hoop for family fun when your kids grow up. The garden is divided into two separate parts, a playground and a vegetable garden (both enclosed).
The playground holds the basketball hoop, swings a playhouse and a bench in the shade.
The vegetable garden already holds vegetable seedling ready to be planted and cared for.
The third and last bedroom is part of a small suite, for you to recede to and have some quiet every now and then.
We hope you find peace and a wonderful future in your new home,
sincerly -lionpaws builds-
ps.:Please join us for a tour through your new home:

The older children can enjoy the outdoors swing set, while Dayana hangs laundry, does yoga, or cozies up with her favorite book on the back porch. This space meets all the necessary request of this ever growing family; 3 Bed, 1 Bath, a computer, a vegetable garden, a chess table, an easel, one musical instrument, one piece of fitness equipment and a bookcase. Enjoy!
This tight budget was a complete obstacle for me. I continuously found myself having to dial back the decor and landscaping to stay within budget, all while trying to keep to my usual aesthetic. 450 Simoleons for a rock... bye!!

Dear Hawthorne Project,
I’m sure you hear this all the time, but I really never thought I would end up in this situation. I married young, and we immediately began a family. I should have seen the signs then. How controlling he could be, how angry he would get over the slightest things. But he was so handsome, and I was in love. By the time it occurred to me what was really happening, we already had one child, and the second was on the way.
I thought that as long as his abuse was directed at me, I could take it, for the sake of the children growing up in a whole family. And I did take it. It wasn't until a few years later, when I was now pregnant with our third child, that I realized the true danger of being with him. One morning, I noticed a bruise on our oldest daughter’s arm. At first, I thought my husband had finally flipped and started in on our children, and I was FURIOUS! But when I confronted Alexis about it, she told me it was from a boy at school. But what really made my heart break, is when she told me that it must mean the boy wants to marry her and have a family like me and daddy. It’s time to go, and I am taking the kids with me.
The three of us are currently sharing a room at my mom's house in Brindleton Bay, but it's much too small for us, and worse, my husband will come looking. I don't have a job, or any real workable skills, but I am willing to find something. I used to play the guitar when I was younger, and have a little skill in that. I also think myself a decent cook, spending several years running the household. Maybe I can find something along those lines... Still, I expect money will be tight.
I'm not looking for anything too fancy. Even with the gift of a house, I know the future bills will still need to get paid. I'd like to have something with 3 bedrooms. The girls can share, but i don't want them being hassled every time the baby wakes in the night, and if it's a boy, we'll need the extra room as they grow.
Two bathrooms would be nice, one for me and one for the kids, but it's not necessary. Eat-in Kitchen would be wonderful, and less space needed than a full dining room. And of course, a living room. Most importantly, is plenty of backyard space. I really want the kids to be able to spend lots of time playing outside, with maybe a swing, or some monkey bars. Definitely no pools though! The thought of one of my babies wandering in there unsupervised really scares me. A washtub and clothes line would be nice too. I could get some laundry done while keeping an eye on the kids play time. And maybe a little shady spot for me to sit and read too.
Please, it would mean the world if you could help us start over. I promise I won’t let anyone put me in this position again. I have to make things better for my girls than I was willing to accept for myself.
Sincerely,
Dayana

GALLERY COST: $42.802
TOTAL COST: $44.802
ENTRY DETAILS: Dear Ms Lilard
We have a new home for you and your kids. It is located in Willow Creek, that should be far enough away from your former husband. We tried to meet all your wishes:
It's a one story home with three bedrooms. One for the girls, with an art table for your art ambitious daughter and a special toddler bed for the little girl. The toddler playthings are scattered throughout the house, so the little one can find something to do wherever you are. The nursery for the unborn is as colorful as the girls room. between the kids rooms there is the family bathroom. it has two sinks and a big tub'n'shower, the potty for the toddler is in there too.
The living kitchen area we kept open plan so it will be easier for you to have an eye on your children. There you find a chess table, an easel, a sitting area with TV an electronic piano, a guitar, and a computer desk with computer.
In the kitchen area we opted for a big table instead of counter seating. Here you can have family dinners together and supervise the homework of your school children.
From the seating area you step out onto the back porch, where the necessary clothes-washing-tub and clothes-drying-line are. from here you have access to a small alcove where we put in a treadmill for you.
In the garden there is also a basketball hoop for family fun when your kids grow up. The garden is divided into two separate parts, a playground and a vegetable garden (both enclosed).
The playground holds the basketball hoop, swings a playhouse and a bench in the shade.
The vegetable garden already holds vegetable seedling ready to be planted and cared for.
The third and last bedroom is part of a small suite, for you to recede to and have some quiet every now and then.
We hope you find peace and a wonderful future in your new home,
sincerly -lionpaws builds-
ps.:Please join us for a tour through your new home:

ENTRY DETAILS: This lot was entirely tailored to the needs of widowed mother, Dayana, and her soon to be 3 children. With room to grow, this bright and inviting home features a large eat-in kitchen, small media space, full downstairs bath, and three separate sleeping quarters, including a calming blue nursery on the main floor. The older children can enjoy the outdoors swing set, while Dayana hangs laundry, does yoga, or cozies up with her favorite book on the back porch. This space meets all the necessary request of this ever growing family; 3 Bed, 1 Bath, a computer, a vegetable garden, a chess table, an easel, one musical instrument, one piece of fitness equipment and a bookcase. Enjoy!
This tight budget was a complete obstacle for me. I continuously found myself having to dial back the decor and landscaping to stay within budget, all while trying to keep to my usual aesthetic. 450 Simoleons for a rock... bye!! This one was extra fun, being able to have total and complete building freedom. Thanks @BuildnShare for always keeping it challenging!

ENTRY DETAILS: Dayana's first thought was to find a place in Brindleton Bay so she could be close to her mom, and get some help with the kids. But, in the end, she decided it would be too easy for her ex-husband to find her there, so she asked that her house be built elsewhere. She finally decided on Newcrest, a newer community with good schools. They found a beautiful 30x30 lot in a neighborhood with several young families with kids for her girls to play with. The house is a comfortable 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, with plenty of room for all of them, and has a playroom and a large back yard. It's a good beginning for her new life.
