I realize many people have hardships in their life to deal with. I have a very different situation. I planned for the last 2 years to travel on a cruise with my family. When we made these plans, my daughter put me on a budget. She said, pay $150.00 a month and by the time all funds are due, you will be on time. So I did. I sent her the money each month feeling good about this, because I would see my balance due going down. Knowing that the entire balance has to be paid by April 30, 2024. Yes that is right, in 22 days, as I write this plea for help. My balance due is $1,867.46. I pray there will be kind people willing to help me.
Let me explain how special this cruise will be for our family.
On this cruise one of my Grandsons will be marrying his long
time Girlfriend. There will be over 40 family members attending this wedding on the Norwegian Cruise Line, coming up this August 2024. Plans are being made on how the wedding will take place and my Great Grand Daughter who is going to be 1 year old at the time, will be included in the ceremony. Also my great
nephew, whom I have never met yet, will be 3 years old and he will have his role to perform. So excited, I wish I could be there.
To continue my story, when the amount of money I had paid was up to $800.00, my daughter and I had a bad disagreement. She said she was sending me back the $800.00 I had sent her so far, and she was no longer going to help me save. That was in August 2023. I am always behind in all my bills, my electricity was about to be turned off, so I remember sending funds from the $800.00 to try to keep my electricity on but it was not enough and not in time. In October it was turned off. So one of my sisters came to my rescue, and paid the $1,800.00 to turn it back on. That was a very scary time in my life, I could not believe I was in such a dilemma. I almost got very ill. So now I have another expense. I have to pay back my sister, she wants a certain amount each month, which I had to agree to and it has made me even more financially strapped. Also I have to try to keep up my electric bill, which I am again behind by $1,161.78. That is the amount on my invoice due in May. I have managed to send them $200.00 last month and a few times before trying to show good faith until I somehow get a mircle.
Anyway at that time no money was being saved for my cruise. I kept telling myself I will find work online again and with that extra money I will pay for the cruise. Well I ran into all kinds of obstacles, but I never gave up. I have worked online before, I could do it again. I did finally find an online job this past January, after going thru the very hard training with A Place for Mom, thats the name of the company. I was excepted and started working February 19th. They did not allow the new people to post very many hours. So slowly, I am learning and only making about $75.00 to $100.00 every 2 weeks. I was anxious because I felt soon they will allow us to increase the hours and I still have March and April to earn enough money to pay for my cruise. Well, that did not happen. I am still working very little hours. In fact this coming Wednesday, my check will be $75.00 earned for the past 2 weeks.
I share my story here, hoping I will receive enough money to
at least pay for my cruise. I have reached out to a few family members for help, they are not able to help, because they have to pay for themselves. My daughter said she wish she could help, but she is also unable. I can tell she is worried I may
not be able to go, we have made up and it is making us sad. I don’t want to disappoint them, please help a Great Grandma.
