Greetings dear good people. My name is Jim. I so wish I was on the other side of this situation. I would rather be helping people rather than asking for help. (which is very hard for me).
My wife and I are retired nurses. We spend more that 40 years serving others and it was very satisfying. During our life we experienced many challenges. Our 3rd child had open heart surgery at 1 month old. She is now very healthy now. My wife, Erin, experienced 3 auto accidents (none her fault). One resulted in spinal surgery to the neck. She now has life long chronic pain. My self…I’ve had surgery on both shoulders, right shoulder replacement, right knee replacement, Widow maker heart attack. This followed with open heart surgery. This took me out of the work force a couple of years early. Heart issues comes with frequent medical test and procedures and a lot of medications. And yes, we have to add the development of type 2 diabetes.
With all this said, we stayed just above water all our lives. Nothing extra for travel or weekend retreats. Well, yes we did take the kids on annual vacations to the Smokey Mountains. We always camped as that was all we could afford. As I said we managed to keep our heads above water, but now we seem to be losing ground. We have medical bills that we cannot pay. A couple of credit cards that I can only make minimal payments. So those are never going to go away.
We are preparing to move in our forever home. We barely made the financial requirements. I’m sure this will not be my forever home for too many more years as my health dictates differently. I do not want to leave my wife and/or children with any unpaid bills. I’d like to go out with a clean bill…
If you find my story worthy of your help, and God bless you for what you do, I would painfully ask for $20,000 to clear all my debts…and maybe a little left over to take that week-end get-a-way.
Thank you so much,
James (Jim) Skinner
