An entrepreneurial young woman has been beaten online for her daring request that others should help pay for her house pay.
Emmalee Potter, a mother of three from Hillside in Victoria, launched a GoFundme on Friday after 'suffering a rough few years' in which she asked for donations to secure a house purchase.
She explained to potential good Samaritans that she has been trying with family members or friends for a number of years.
Now, however, Mrs. Potter is finally in the position where she is tempting to be able to buy her new house after 'saving hard work'.
But nothing is easy in life and Mrs. Potter knows better than anyone: 'sStanding out for a house payment can be a long and challenging journey. '
“I am almost in the final phase, but I have a shortage of the down payment, so I call my village,” she wrote. Please help me to overcome this last obstacle, every little bit really helps, a house is more than just a place to live.
It is a basis for the next chapter of life, a space where memories are made and where I can really start to feel. Your donation, regardless of the size, will go immediately to help me achieve this dream. '
Although Mrs. Potter expressed her gratitude to those who were unable to donate, saying them 'Vibes and only looking are the world for her, many people have not appreciated her use of the platform.

Many people were cynical about the fundraising page
“No hate, but you expect people to donate to you so that you can buy a house,” a woman asked.
“I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. If we all start Goofundme accounts, I might as well start it so that I can go on holiday to Greece. '
“It is a difficult time for everyone who tries to buy a house, especially with the costs of living, so I am a bit confused why you ask for donations,” someone else asked.
“The first paragraph of your list says” I am now able to buy a house, “but you ask strangers to send your money for the deposit,” a third asked.
“Why can't you just find a place with a lower down payment,” someone dressed.
“If it was a rental binding, understandable,” a second woman admitted.
“I wish we could even consider a damn house pay, but we live here a salary to pay in a rent.”
A few people sympathized with the woman and expressed their support.
“There is nothing wrong with asking for help,” said a person.
The GoFundMe Go-Ketter said she just needed the last part of the down payment
She said her family had trouble getting a rental home
“If you were talking about renting, it would be a bit different than buying a house,” said another woman.
“It's not about 'financing me a house', it is the small amount that is still needed to buy something,” Mr. Potter replied.
'Me and my children live in a room with my friends. Buying is actually cheaper than renting.
'We have applied for more than 100 rental and have been saved. I can get the housing loan and pay the reimbursements [I’m] Just need the last part of the down payment. '
Although the effort has not yet raised a surprising amount of money, some people have already donated the modest totally.
As the old saying reads: “It is the thought that counts.”
“If you choose to contribute, know that it will never be forgotten, and it will go to something that will form my future for years,” said Mrs. Potter.
'Thank you very much for reading and for all the support you can give, whether it is financially or emotional. I am so grateful for every little help during this trip. '
