Story

Hello. I am a widow of a suicide after 30 yrs of marriage.  I am blessed yet stuck raising my two grandchildren.  I have held up to the best of my abilities,  but now lately I’m hurting very badly. It seems that the more I try to improve our situation and circumstances,  the worse it gets. I have been stolen from while it was disguised as help. People have started to help,  then abandoned us after learning how overwhelming  our situation truly is.  I have exhausted all resources that have been presented as help for us. I am physically disabled, by Fibromyalgia, PTSD, and a spinal disease that i have no medical coverage to help me deal with medical treatment.  I’m trying to get my Widows disability from SSA with no hope in sight.  This is my last year to try. Due to the new rules and policies of government assistance.  I do not qualify for Foodstamps or TANF, nor Medicaid for myself. The children’s parents are not paying their court ordered child support consistently.  I went 4.5 years with no vehicle.  A vehicle was donated to us about 6 months ago and is now breaking down badly,  and I can not afford to fix it! I had to sell our land after My husband’s death because I could no longer afford the taxes by myself. I sold it on an owner to owner contract which provides me with $1000 per month. In this economy, all that covers is my bills, and barely leaves  us enough for any extra sometimes including just our basic needs. We go without, and it hurts! I AM BEGGING FOR HELP! ANYTHING would help! I’d be forever grateful. TIA
