Good day kind folks, Marilyn is my name and I humbly come before you on behalf of both my grandson age 23 and self age 75. I raised Rob and over the yrs we’ve had our share of challenges yet managed from payck to payck maintaining excellent credit.
I’m aware that circumstances in life are temporary and that we will move onto another phase. Granted we have had our bouts, yet the past 3 months have proven to be quite cruel. Our decline began in early July when we spent our savings ($3500.00) on an older trlr for Rob. We’d been crammed into my small 27′ RV located on property in the woods, and both needed our own space. We soon realized we’d been hood winked, yet managed to make it work. It was early July, our emergency funds were gone, yet I receive a small monthly SSI ck and Rob had his job unloading semi trlrs, that is until he didn’t! It was the end of July when Rob lost his job due to poor company mgmnt. No worries, he’s a capable, hard working young man! Then came August and my nephew age 54 had finally been released from the Riverside Co. Detention Cntr. where for the past 3 yrs he had sat on trumped up charges. I was over the moon with joy, for a moment anyway. Five days after his release Josh was found unalive in his pu trk. He had taken his own life. There are no words…..3 wks later Josh’s mother, my twin sister who had previously been strong and healthy, was now at Sacred Heart in Eugene, Or. dying of urinary cancer. That can’t be we said, yet it was! She passed away Sept 2. ’23 froim a broken heart and urinary cancer. I thought things couldn’t get worse…..yet after 2 wks of cleaning and clearing out her home, I returned home only to find precious cat Asa whom I’d dearly loved for 6 yrs. in dire distress. He was rushed to the vet where we learned his lungs were crystallized. I had to let him go leaving me completely devastated to this very day and with a $300 bill.
I share these 3 major concurrent events with you for they took not only a physical & emotional toll, but a financial strain as well on an already depleted budget. Needing to make an 1800 mi round trip to So Ca required new tires $840.00, brakes $450.00 (still need), oil change $150.00, $500.00+ for gas, plus cars insurance renues in Nov. $2500.00. Rob recently was hired by UPS for pt time peak season and plans to start on Mon 8-02. I believe he has a real good chance of being hired full time after January. Unfortunately that doesn’t help us now, therefore, I humbly ask for some temporary financial assistance (first time ever) in the amt of $5000.00. That would get us on track and keep our credit in tact. Honestly, any amt would be greatly appreciated yet I understand there are many in much greater need than we.
That being ssaid I want to thank all of you for taking the time to read my story. Should you chose to help, us here is my link: paypal.me@myasa07 or cash app Marilyn Hembree@$mamatrkr. We do appreciate you and God Bless!
