Family crowdfunds to save home from falling off cliff

WASHINGTON -- A family's home is being threatened by a river that's eating away at their backyard, but they aren't just standing by and waiting for the worst to happen.

A dream home in Washington state, a geodesic dome with a beautiful view, a turkey run well is becoming a nightmare.

"The whole house shakes and rumbles," Teresa Shaw said. "It's just horrifying."

The Shaws' yard is sliding into the Pilchuck River. The house is now Just 54 feet from a 200-foot drop down to the torrent below.

"It's erosion, there's no coverage for erosion," Shaw said.

Similar story for the Webb family in Texas. Left with little choice but to burn down their lakeside retirement home this past summer. It was a teetering safety hazard.

The Shaws want to move their place 400 feet, away from the river.

"Pick it up and put it on the other side of this driveway," Shaw said.

The bank won't lend them the $150,000, so the Shaws just launched a GoFundMe campaign and are hoping for the kindness of strangers.

In the meantime, I hope we don't fall into the Pilchuck River.
