Jordan (30) had home shared with Joyce (79) for a little more than three years. He lived in a separate basement apartment and him and Joyce shared the upstairs kitchen. When Joyce traveled to her summer home in Western Colorado, Jordan was in charge of watching over the house and took on the responsibility of the garden. Jordan also helped out with daily chores that had become harder for Joyce to do, like snow shoveling, opening bottles/jars, and putting up and taking down Christmas lights. Jordan had been dating Haley throughout his home sharing journey with Joyce and Haley would visit their home often and would share a meal or conversation with Joyce. When Jordan told Joyce that he was asking Haley to marry him, she was excited and supportive. They agreed that Haley would move in after the wedding in April 2020. When the shutdowns began in mid March 2020 due to Covid-19, Jordan and Haley were uncertain how and/or if they’d be able to have their wedding as planned. During all of the uncertainty and cancellations they had a brilliant idea. Jordan and Haley approached Joyce asking if they could have a small and intimate ceremony in her backyard and if she would be their witness. She was over the moon happy to help them start their life at her home. Jordan and Haley were married in April 2020 with their friend/pastor, friend/photographer, and Joyce (staying inside and watching from the patio windows). Jordan and Haley lived with Joyce from then until January 2022. Joyce was happy to give Jordan and Haley a fresh start at their new life together, as she only charges them a minimal amount for rent, a gift of financial security for their present and future. Jordan shared with Sunshine staff that he was able to pay off $70,000 in debt due in part to his home share situation. Joyce and Jordan & Haley have stopped living with each other, but they still keep in contact and maintain a great friendship.
