<span;>I am 64 yrs old, working a full time job and a part-time job. My husband gets the minimal amount of social security due to disabilities, and I’m becoming buried in bills with major home repairs still needed. I have sold everything of monetary value and don’t want to loose my home.
<span;>$300,000 would be a major blessing. It would put our heads above water and get us back on our feet. This would allow me to only need to work 1 job and be able to enjoy the life around us again before my husband is unable to enjoy it.
<span;>Let me tell you what happened:
<span;>I had a good job, working in healthcare, about 5 yrs ago I left that job to care for my mother-in-law who had a stroke and moved in with us due to being unable to be left alone at home. We all had the dream of moving out of town where she, and shortly after her, my own mom, could sit on the deck, watch the wildlife and enjoy their final days.
<span;>The property quickly became more than we had planned for. We had to replace the septic system and the well, <span;>both were costly. W<span;>e need a retaining wall built to prevent a landslide, but no funds are available. We had help from both parents financially while they were alive, so we held up for the most part, but then my husband’s disability became worse. I needed to find work and was blessed with a work from home job but before I could finish the on boarding process my mother-in-law passed away peacefully here at home with us, she was 97.
<span;>Not one month later my mom, 85, had a gastric intestinal bleed, spent several days in the hospital, came home and placed on hospice. She passed 5 months after my mother-in-law.
<span;>One week later we found out my husband’s prognosis is to expect to be in a wheelchair or paralyzed within 5-10 years.
<span;>I’ve always lived by the belief that family comes first, no matter what. Having the chance to care for my loved ones over the years has been my greatest blessing—a journey of love I wouldn’t trade for anything.
<span;>However, being a full-time caregiver has come with a heavy silent cost. We no longer have the support systems we once relied on, and the weight of our financial future now rests entirely on my shoulders. Between urgent home repairs my husband can no longer physically manage and the lack of a safety net, we are at a breaking point. My biggest fear isn’t just the repairs; it’s the thought of losing the home that has sheltered our family through it all. I am reaching out to ask for help so I can keep providing for those I love and finally find a sense of security again.
