I am 17 years old and my family and I are in need of financial assistance.
My family consists of myself, my grandmother, a cousin, and my grandfather. Unfortunately, my grandfather is no longer with us because he was believed to have died from his bad heart. This was probably preventable on his part had he been careful and listened to the doctor’s advice about lifting heavy objects. At the time of his death, my grandfather was trying to do people favors for a small amount of money to save up for a small truck to get him to a job he was doing for a good friend of his who owned a lawn mowing company without depending on the family vehicle for when we needed it, because it was being used constantly to take my cousin to football practice, taking me to baseball practice or my work, getting groceries, and so on. My grandfather had to be careful because he had surgery on his heart and wasn’t supposed to lift anything heavy (nothing exceeding 25 pounds) – but in his mind, we needed the money and tried to hurry this specific favor he was doing for our neighbor finished. This might’ve been because he had a job to do right after and didn’t want to risk delaying the favor for the woman next door any longer. He forgot to put on his “heart shocker,” which is what we called it, which gave his body jolts of electricity if he would have lifted an exceeding amount – however, this probably would not been enough to save him anyways. We miss him a lot and although he was hard on my cousin and I, we are able to see and appreciate his commitment to raising us and caring for us as if we were his two sons. There is no doubt he is in Heaven right now, he spoke a lot for our church and educated himself with the word of the Lord. He recently gotten his ministry degree not long before he passed away – but God had other plans for him.
We never got the truck my grandfather was saving up for (which was being given to us but he had to repair parts of the vehicle {Head gaskets, radiator} before it was able to be driven) but hopefully we could somehow get enough saved up to get it fixed by an engineer. This would help me get to where I work, which is out of town, so that my grandmother doesn’t have to drive me 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back when she has something to she’s busy doing. Our family vehicle broke down but fortunately somebody from our church was willing to give us one of their vehicles. However, now my grandmother is burdened with an even higher car payment to worry about paying off on top of everything else. ‘
‘ Although with a total monthly family revenue of ~$1,700 prior, we struggled with bills, car payments, and things. Now that revenue has come down to maybe ~$1,100 or less – not that I know for sure because my grandmother doesn’t want us to worry or stress about it but we’re doing everything we can to help her. She now struggles even getting groceries (let alone paying bills) – FoodStamps rejected her request although she’s mentioned every reason why we needed it. Most of our income came from our grandpa, but even then we struggled having any money – now it’s a lot worse. All of the money given will be used to pay off our car, repair the truck, pay the bills, groceries, among other important things. This will really help release the burden of my grandmother and allow for us to maybe let loose and have fun for the first time in awhile. I feel guilty for begging but we really need it!
