Story

Name is Chris. I’m 42 years old and live in Alabama. For the past 10 years i have been a live in caretaker for my 82 year old bed and wheelchair ridden grandmother. Might as well be my mom, as she raised me from a baby after my real mom was killed. I did everything I could for her, cooking, cleaning, carried her to appointments, got her food and drink, even helped her get to and from bathroom. She was my everything, and I devoted the last 10 years of my life to her. And as i was a live in and she had to have constant attention, fall risk and wheelchair and bedridden, I wasn’t able to work a regular job. She took care of everything and I helped her best i could. Was actually a good idea being I got several mental problems that causes debilitating panic attacks. She was hospitalized last month and passed away on the 6th of August. As you can imagine, my family is devastated. But now being she is gone, I have no income of any kind coming in. And being in your 40s with no work history for the past 10 years and being a bit off, most places will not even look twice at you. Times are dire. I got bills to pay, repairs to be made on this 60 year old mobile home I inherited, and a tree that needs cutting b4 it falls on the house one day and likely kills me. Either way, I’ll be homeless. And I have health problems of my own that have had me in and out of the ER myself. So I badly need help getting back on my feet. I have never asked anyone for help and devoted my life helping others, but now she is gone there is nobody here to help me. I got enough money saved until end of August and then I’m done. If anyone can please please help, even a little, it would be greatly appreciated. You would literally be saving my life. I thank you all so very much.
