Story

In the last year the cost of living and medical expenses and daily expenses have become overwhelming. I have a great job and work full time, however I have been working additional part time jobs and visiting food banks just to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table.

I have one child with ASD and the side work is challenging our routines and causes major meltdowns. My other child has a list of mental health diagnosis and has been in & out of the hospital for the last year and is declared as SED.

I am trying to maintain and manage everything but the weight of medical expenses and the cost of living is beyond me, there are no opinions as my single income is considered over qualifying for most programs.

I feel defeated but keep trying. I just want to be able to pay off any debts that we have accrued and be able to be the best parent for my kids without constantly being in survival mode.
