Couple Launches Campaign to Save Dream Home From 250-Foot Cliff

This Thanksgiving, Teresa Shaw and her husband, Lance, are hoping 150,000 people chip in $1 to help save their dream house from a crumbling cliff overlooking Washington's Pilchuck River.

"It's asking a lot and it's hard to ask - but here it is," Teresa Shaw, a correctional officer and Navy veteran, said in a video on a GoFundMe site. "I just want to save my home."

Utah rock slide flattens home and kills 2 inside.

Abrupt lurch in Wyoming landslide splits house in two.

Landslide on Washington island forces evacuation of 34 homes.

The Shaws' home - a geodesic dome, complete with a beautiful view and turkey run - is now just 54 feet from a 250-foot drop down to the river.

For two years, the couple's yard has been sliding into the river. Their garage was recently slapped with limited-access tags by Snohomish County.

Shaw said she could feel the house move each time more land was eaten away.

"The whole house shakes and rumbles," she told ABC News Seattle affiliate KOMO-TV. "It's just horrifying. … I am devastated."

Shaw said she and her husband, who is also a corrections officer, want to move their home 400 feet away from the landslide but the bank won't lend them the $150,000 to fund the move.

"It's not flood insurance. It's not earthquake insurance," she said. "It's erosion [and] there is no coverage for erosion."

So, the Shaws launched a GoFundMe campaign Nov. 25, hoping on the kindness of strangers. They've raised over $2,300 so far.

In June, Denise and Robert Webb faced a similar situation when a landslide left their $700,000 retirement home on Lake Whitney near Fort Worth, Texas, dangling 75 feet above the lake.

"Yeah, it's a trying time, certainly," Robert Webb said in June.

The Webbs watched as a crew set the home on fire after an attempt to move it away from the edge failed. The Webbs had to foot the bill for the demolition because while the home was insured, the policy did not cover earth movement.
