Our family is facing a crisis that threatens to tear apart our lives. We are a family of four living in a rural community, where access to basic necessities like municipal sewage is a luxury we can only dream of. The foundation of our home, our septic system, is failing, and with it, our ability to maintain a safe and healthy living environment.
I am disabled due to blindness and glaucoma, limiting my ability to contribute financially. My wife is the sole breadwinner, working tirelessly to provide for our family. Despite her efforts, our income is barely enough to cover our essential needs, such as food, housing, and utilities. We were forced to file for bankruptcy when inflation soared, making it impossible to meet our financial obligations. This was a heart-wrenching decision, as I am a firm believer in honoring my debts.
Now, we face an even more daunting challenge. The health department has issued warnings about our leaking septic system, threatening legal action if we fail to address the issue promptly. A septic system inspection alone costs a staggering $1500, a sum we simply cannot afford. To replace the entire system, we are looking at a price tag between $17,500 and $32,000 – an astronomical figure for our family.
Our options are dwindling rapidly. Securing a loan is nearly impossible due to our recent bankruptcy. We have exhausted all avenues for savings and cutbacks. I am contemplating returning to work, but this would jeopardize our children’s health insurance and potentially reduce my disability benefits. The job market in our rural area is limited, and finding employment that can offset these losses is a daunting prospect.
We are reaching out for assistance with heavy hearts. We understand that there are many people in need, but our situation is dire. Losing our home would have devastating consequences for our family. We are asking for financial support to help us replace our septic system and secure a stable future for our children. Any contribution, no matter how small, would bring us one step closer to overcoming this crisis.
Thank you for your compassion and understanding.
