Aid Joseph and Terry in Overcoming Hardships

Donation protected
My precious wife Theresa [Terry] and I [Joseph] are recovering cancer survivors. We've been able to 'beat cancer,' mine was colo-rectal cancer and Terry's was breast cancer! We're disabled individuals, both over the age of 64, faithfully serving both our church and local community here in the greater Hartford, CT area. As fellow patriots and as a committed Christian couple, we've been hit by many life-changing occurrences, one right after another, especially over the last two - three [2-3] years. Despite always keeping 'the faith,' maintaining a positive outlook, all the while trying very hard, doing our very best to cope mentally, physically, and emotionally, we’ve been under such continuous stress and upheaval for a several years now!

We're facing significant Financial pressure(s) MAINLY brought on by several arduous - complicating factors, one (1) of which [obviously] is the current terrible Economic situation we're all facing, plus immense Insurance Premiums, ['COBRA'] Medical - Dr's Bills and significant Household expenses going back for the last twelve (12) months now!

Our Financial Goal(s) is/are to be able to:

a.) Pay back several Family and Friends that have Loaned us Funds [$15k] over the last six (6) months,

b.) Pay off lingering Medical and Dr's Bills left over from my Cancer Surgery, plus Hospitalization and subsequent Chemo-therapy, [Aug. 2023 - Jan. 2024] as well as our current and previous monthly Rx's, and Follow up Dr. visits,

c.) Our Household Expenses over the last six (6) months, on into the next three (3) months time, which are also Financially significant,

d.) Help us to both be able to get [Pay others] help moving our personal possessions, [out-of-state] and then afford to Rent and then get settled into a 'new place' to Live, as we've now been Homeless for twice (2X's) times in the last nineteen (19) months, literally through no fault of our own!

e.) Financially overcome several recent and past losses that were - are significant; including [but not limited to] a recent automobile accident, [07-05-2024] and another, older automobile 'being lost' to 'Engine over-heating' - all within less than a weeks' time!

f.) And due to my recent, very long-term unemployment, [Joseph] as well as having to face age discrimination in the work-place, ['ageism'] being extremely difficult to secure meaningful work in my Profession; we've been on the verge of bankruptcy over the last nine (9) months, and we really need significant Financial help and relief to get ourselves (re) started domestically, and to be moving forward again in our lives!

Finally, we'd both like to thank each and every one of you in advance for your gracious kindness, consideration, concern, and timely contributions to help us avoid homelessness, along w/ the untold stress and suffering, which obviously includes highly detrimental mental, physical, emotional health conditions, both past, present and into the near future!
