Hi. Let me start by saying Thank You for taking the time to read this. This is one of the most difficult things that I have ever had to do. I never imagined that I would be in a position where I needed to ask for help. Yet here I am. On February 12, 2022, my husband of 28 years left home to go get car parts for our vehicle that he wrecked the previous week. He hasn’t been seen or heard from since that day. He is believed to have been the victim of foul play. There is an ongoing investigation, but no arrests have been made as of yet. Because my husband was our sole income provider, I have been left in a very precarious situation. I have managed to stay in my home without imposing on family members so far by surviving on credit and what little income I can make online. I have maxed out my credit and the online income just isn’t enough to pay even the basics. I have eliminated all unnecessary expenses and only have the bare minimum. My goal is to rejoin the workforce so that I can be self-sufficient and financially independent. I have been working towards my Business Management Degree with a concentration in Marketing for the past year and a half. I have one semester left after this one ends. As I previously stated, my husband wrecked our vehicle, so I do not have transportation at the moment. I live in a tiny town with less than 3000 people, so there is no public transportation, nor do I have family or friends who live nearby. The closest “city” is about 30 minutes away. I don’t expect for anyone to buy me a car. I just want to make it through the next few months until I graduate. I never in a million years imagined that my life would be turned upside down and that I would have to figure out how to survive, not only without my husband, but day to day life at 48. Asking complete strangers for help has been extremely humbling. My husband and I were always the ones that people came to for help, and now to be in this position, well, it is very difficult. But rather than impose on my family, who are small town folks who do not have the financial means to support me or anyone else, I felt that I should swallow my pride and ask for help. I realize that there are hundreds, if not thousands of people on this site in financial hardship requesting help also. I am no more deserving than them. But your help would be greatly appreciated. I thank each and everyone who has taken the time to read this, even if you can’t assist at the moment. I know your time is valuable. And I thank anyone who is able to help. Your kindess will never be forgotten. And I will pay it forward.
With Kindest Regards,
Monica
