Hello! I’m having a very hard year. I barely make enough to live on and have had a storm of unexpected bills this year: hundreds in vet bills, backed up plumbing, broken washing machine, etc. Now I’m having plumbing problems. I could right an epic saga about the scope of the problems, the troubleshooting involved, the many bids, the water carried up the basement stairs in 5 gallon buckets with bad knees, etc.
My reserves are long since shot. I have a full-time job, but I’ve had three surgeries in the past year and a half and am heading into my next one in July. My life was basically ruined by a sociopath who I lived with for 17 years. I got out a few years ago and have clawed my way back to happiness and peace, but the recent health and financial setbacks have used every bit of strength I have.
So far the estimates on my plumbing/sewer are $17000. My house is everything to me. I don’t have a partner or kids. I have a yarden, and a house I have poured my blood, sweat and tears into. If I lose it, I won’t have anything left.
On top of all that, on the way to a DR appointment this morning, my window broke and would no longer roll up–it disappeared into the door! They are charging me over $1000 to fix it, which means I can’t pay my mortgage this month. To say nothing of what their “recommended” repairs would cost.
Thanks for your time–for listening to my story. I am a person who is fighting like hell, but not winning. If you’d like to help me win this fight,
