This is my first for humbly asking for help. I am a college graduate and partially finished grad student for Occupational Therapy (now too long ago to finish). My journey of having no income started 2013 after my older sister suffered a full stroke, paralyzing her left side of her body at 49 years old. She has 4 children (one who has Down Syndrome, oldest). They all live on their own today but cannot support their mom in care. The oldest lives with us who has Down Syndrome. I also take care of my elderly mother (88 y/o). We just lost my father in September 2025 to Cancer through Hospice Care assistance. (They were wonderful!) But we now have half the income to support the bills of a household with 6 people. Both my sister and I are married and her spouse is getting ready to retire. I care for my sister during the day. My spouse works for Uber so not that great of an income! My mom is a retired school teacher from Paradise Valley, AZ and just was discharged from the hospital for a small stroke (TIA) that I know was exacerbated by the financial stress we are experiencing. It is her second one in last ten years. I have no idea what we would do if we lost her!!! She is the sweetest retired school teacher momma!!! We had very little life insurance on my father (about $10,000) that has been gobbled up by bills in just 5 months!!! Refinancing the house last year only vetted about $100 less a month!!! (Terrible deal, but that was our financial situation)!! I am taking care of 2 family members and oversee that my nephew does his home “program” and gets off to his Day Program. I am also diabetic with Congestive Heart Failure, so my health is failing and I struggle through each day. There is constant worry that I may be the next ER visit whilst struggling to provide all the needs of this household!!! It’s the equivalent of two full time jobs without pay!! And I am afraid to know what this has done to my retirement income (basically I won’t have much). But that is a worry for another day. My main concern is keeping my mom and sister out of a nursing home!! And losing all our cats and dogs if we lose the house!! Life should not be so desperate after all our family has accomplished so many milestones! Our church helps with a family meal one day a month which is a blessing!! We just need more help if there is some…? We are a good Christian family and I refuse placing anyone in a nursing home!! I was a Nursing Aide right out of High School for 12-13 years. Then college spent in conjunction made my life extremely busy. Yet I am busier now then those years, just caring for my family and running a household! Anything that we can receive would be extremely appreciated and would benefit a whole, loving, good family and our beloved pets! May the light of Christ embrace you for considerations and THANK YOU for reading our request for help!!! We are a proud family and have never asked for help before, so our gratitude is HUGE!! God Bless You!!!
