I am a Canadian in my late 50s and would like to retire soon. My wife and I are still working hard. We have had huge setbacks in our life.
My first son died on his first day of life in the 1990s as he was distressed in the womb. My daughter died one year after her highschool graduation from an unknown virus that set her immune system to attack her own body. She was gone in 7 days. I have had to deal with cancer in my body. My last remaining child is now grown but has gone through 6 years of serious mental health issues. He is recovering now. It is a bonafide miracle that we are still standing. There’s more to our story but I am limited to the amount I can write.
Many of these things we have gone through have been accompanied with financial challenges.
My wish is that I could have some extra cash every month just to help pay bills. The rent and the food are the main things. Maybe I should start a business and invest a small amount or just invest a small amount of money into a good company. We are not exactly sure what to do. We are weighing our options.
Please give if you can. Here is my paypal link from a business we used to run. Thank you for your kindness! It means more to us than you know. I would love to pay it forward some day.
Sincerely,
Anonymous Canadian
