Hello,
This is very difficult for me to do, but I have no one else to turn to. I am reaching out to ask for financial assistance due to our current situation.
I have been on Social Security Disability for mental health issues. Eleven years ago, I met my husband. A week before he proposed, we found out I was pregnant. This was a surprise because I had previously had an ectopic pregnancy and lost one of my fallopian tubes. Our daughter is now one year old.
My husband works over 60 hours a week to support us. He covers our two vehicle payments, repairs, and all our daughter’s and my needs. My Social Security income of $1,200 a month goes towards our debts and vehicle insurance, but it never seems to be enough.
We are struggling with $35,000 in debt, and I feel like a failure as a mother because I can’t contribute more. My husband is also trying to save money to fix his teeth, which cause him significant pain and self-consciousness. Additionally, he needs shoulder surgery but has been putting it off because we can’t afford for him to take time off work.
We are also at risk of losing our house if we can’t pay $7,000 in property taxes by November. Our home is small, under 650 sq ft, and we are trying to save money to add more space for our daughter.
I have applied for over 200 jobs without any success. We also can’t afford daycare and don’t trust anyone else to watch our daughter. My husband wants me to focus on my photography, as I promised my mom on her deathbed that I would pursue it as far as I could.
We are desperate and don’t know where else to turn. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
