Hello, my name is Andrea.
I’m a mother of two young boys, the younger is autistic and non-verbal. This brings a lot of challenges on its own, but I recently became unemployed and my husband and I are currently struggling to pay for everything that it’s needed.
The mortgage alone takes about 60% of my husbands salary, and then there are the groceries and bills to add to that. We’ve already had to cut down and give up on some health and therapy expenses to maintain the house, but the lack of support is taking a toll on our family. My youngest has been having a crisis since earlier this year. He can get very destructive and even hurt himself badly on the head. The public health services have failed us over and over again, and we’ve had to take him to private health care which costs us 100 euros per appointment. He is currently on medication, but it only does so much.
Our oldest son has developed serious anxiety issues having to live through his little brother’s crisis, and has also received therapy and medication.
If we can get the mortgage expenses down, we will be able to provide them with the proper support they need whilst maintaining a roof over our head.
Any help you can send is very much appreciated.
Thank you, and God bless.
