I never thought I would find myself in this position, but life has thrown one challenge after another at my family, leaving me with no choice but to humbly ask for help.
My husband, a carpenter for 21 years, suffered two major heart attacks during the COVID pandemic. His health forced him to leave the job he loved, and despite his best efforts to apply for disability and find work, nothing has come through. Every application is met with rejection, and the jobs he’s managed to secure haven’t lasted long.
This left me as the sole breadwinner. After working at the same job for 22 years, I switched to a higher-paying role in an effort to make ends meet. For a while, it worked—but within a couple of years, I was struggling again. To stay afloat, I refinanced our home at a higher interest rate, which gave me some temporary relief. That money helped cover medical bills and everyday expenses, but eventually, it ran out.
I then turned to credit cards and personal loans to bridge the gap, but as time has gone by, the debt has spiraled out of control. Now, I feel like I’m drowning. I live in constant fear of losing my home. My bank account is always negative, and I’ve lost so many nights of sleep worrying about what the future holds for my family.
I’m doing everything I can to keep going, but the weight of this financial burden has become unbearable. That’s why I’m reaching out to the kindness of strangers, hoping that someone might find it in their heart to help me through this incredibly difficult time.
Any amount, no matter how small, would mean the world to me and my family. Your generosity could help us find some stability and begin to rebuild our lives.
