Matt (29), Candice (27), Ella (4) & Lyla (1) – Wilmington/West Carrollton

“We NEED to buy a home!”

The Roberts were forced from their last apartment after they discovered black mold that was making their daughters sick. The resulting medical bills – combined with existing medical bills of their own – made their dream of buying a home seem impossible. Matt and Candice have since been living in separate homes so they can save money on rent and gas. Matthew lives with his father to be near his job in Dayton, while Candice, Ella, and Lyla live with Candice’s mother in Wilmington. The Roberts hope the Savings Race can help them save for the home they need and bring their family back together under one roof.
