I am forty-one and I, honestly, am exhausted. I was brought up to believe that when you do good for others, good things come back to you.
I have never shunned my responsibilities nor stopped doing good for others. My story is: I got married when I was young, and my in-laws committed a murder-suicide leaving eight younger siblings with the youngest one being just 4-year-old when the incident happened for my husband and I to raise. I at that time just had my first child, 11-month-old and later had another child and have been helping raise my husband’s siblings until today. I spent my adult life, after dropping out of college and working multiple jobs to help raise my two kids and the younger siblings. I have worked up to two jobs at a time while still try to do my mommy/wife duty at home. During those years I spent my weekends at the laundry mat all day and, in the evenings, making dinner, making sure all the kids bathed, finished their homework, tucked them in bed and cleaned the house. Both of my kids are grown with the youngest being twenty now and both are in college. I was blessed to have a great man even though we have our ups and downs but through it all we are still together.
I have spent the last 22 years struggling to make ends meet and take care of my kids and the siblings the best that I could. There has not been a time where money was not an issue; no matter how hard I tried there were always bills that sometimes went unpaid and debts that are still being paid off. Until now I have always been the one who had to work multiple jobs for one reason or another; just to make ends meet. Maxing out my credit cards just to make sure the kids have warm meals, clothes to wear and a roof over their head. I have worked more hours than I slept. But all because I have always thought that when I do good for others, good will come back to me.
I’m exhausted, stressed, depressed at times and hurt every day. I still work full-time as I cannot afford NOT to. My husband and I both work full-time and we both pay the bills but with the kid’s college tuition, mortgage and also trying to help his siblings get on their feet we continue to struggle and at times this put a huge strain on our marriage.
I am not a “high maintenance” woman. I do not care for fancy cars, expensive purses, clothes, shoes, make-up, I do not do my hair and I don’t like shopping unless I must.
I am asking for any good people out there to help me pay my debts. I do not care to be rich, but I would like to be able to pay the bills, buy the groceries, and know that I can put away some money for the future as well as give back.
For me to pay off my credit card debts it would take about $35,000.00. $16,000 would include paying off my car. My kid’s tuition would be about $40,000.00. $91,000 would pay off all of it.
I am simply tired of being debt-ridden and, no matter how hard I try, continue to be debt-ridden. I do not desire to be rich as I am already rich with the love of my kids and still being married to my soulmate. I just want to love myself again so I can continue to help and give back. Please, I’m looking for a miracle.
