We've had a rough couple years with both Father getting Cancer, my Wifes Father passing away, and her younger brother coming to his tragic passing t just 20 years old. We've both experienced layoffs and have fought hard to pick up whatever we could to keep income coming in. However, we slowly burned through our savings until about a year ago, we ran out completely. Currently my wife is the only one with a full time job and her income is only a couple hundred dollars over the maximum income for us to receive any kind of public assistance or financial aid. Not even food stamps.
Around the same time we ran out of our savings, my wife unexpectingly became pregnant. Our youngest boy was born 48 days early on July 12th. I'm happy to say he is a happy and healthy baby and we've been fortunate with good health. The problem has been we havent been able to afford child care, so I've had to stay home and try to work as much as possible on Upwork while watching the baby. We took what money we could and finally was able to get childcare, which required a large deposite and upfront payment for the first 30 days. This took every penny we had to get signed up for and begins on January 2nd. The problem is it left us no money to pay our bills or put food on the table since literally the week after my wifes hours got cut in half. The deposite is not refundable.
We're now also getting letters from the mortgage company telling us they're proceeding with foreclosing on our home of 10 years. The job I got is a good one and pays well, so once I start in January and get my first check a couple weeks later, we should be fine from there. Without any help however, I don't expect we'll have a home any longer, be able to feed our children, or a vehicle.
If it weren't for the children, I would accept this as punishment for not having figured out a way to avoid this situation but the kids don't deserve any of this, losing their home, my olds liklely having to change schools, not having food on the table like they should.Neither my wife or I have hardly any family left and those who are left can barely provide for themselves.
If I had one wish in life, it would be find a way to earn the $8765 required to get my home out of foreclosure so that my kids can have a home to enjoya christmas in and lastly the $3200 I don't have that would enable us to survive with food on the table until Jan 2nd, so I don't have to ever tell my children I'm sorry, there's no more food. I don't mean to be dramatic, this has just been a long grind of an effort that I'm obviously failing at as a Father and Husband.
I'm so close to being able to clear the worst rough patch of my life but can't figure out how to cover things and not have it all fall apart and lose what little we have left until January. If anyone has anything to spare, it would be greatly appreciated. If there is anything I can do to work off anything anyone can spare in return for a donation or even a loan, please reach out to me and let me know. |
