Hello,
It feels weird to ask for help when things in the world are going the way they are, but here I am.
I am a woman of 45; I live with my 78 (Mom)& 79 (Dad) yr old parents and my 55 yr old brother. I am my mother’s primary caregiver after a severe stroke; my father is still doing pretty well; he can’t hear too well and is a bit stubborn, but he is good. They are both retired, and my brother lives here because he had a stroke 2 years ago, but he has recovered well.
So my brother and I have part-time jobs, he because of his stroke, me because of being my Mom’s caretaker.
Starting in August, we lost very suddenly and unexpectedly one of our furry kids. The vet bill was a lot, but we were able to pay it. Then, within 2 weeks, both of our vehicles broke down. We were able to get one fixed, but the other is still not working; this put a considerable dent in our funds, and at the beginning of this month, we had a pipe burst; our home is old, so we had a pipe decide to give up. The plumbing put us in the bind of me asking strangers for help. It took everything to fix it and then some. My Dad had to get a small personal loan to pay for it. So for October, we are over-extended, and the mortgage is due at the beginning of November. It will be tight for a few months because we went through our savings (all 4 of us).
I don’t want/need a ton of money, but enough to maybe cover the mortgage for one month would be absolutely incredible, as that would allow my parents, especially, to build up a little savings again. If you’re curious, that total would be $806. But any help would be greatly appreciated.
I appreciate your time in reading our story/request. If I am lucky enough to receive donations, thank you in advance.
