Hoping For Help ~ Feeling Hopeless
Donation protected
Hi my name is Sharon, I will be 56 yrs old Dec.2016. I am married and my husband works full time.I was employed cleaning hotel rooms until my degenerative disk disease became too unbearable for me to continue.
I love animals and have several dogs I rescued from the SPCA. I buy food for and care for a Colony of 10 feral cats whom I trapped and had all fixed. I've always helped others when they needed it,I am a caring and compassionate person.
Today I am putting out a plea for help on GoFundMe in hopes that my Prayers will be answered concerning the difficulties me and my family are facing right now.
Our Story: I must admit that 2016 actually started out very good for us and in Feb.2016 we were very excited to be able to take a local 3 day getaway. Sadly when we returned home we were informed that my last living sister who suffered from MS had been Hospitalized and was in the ICU...Thus our journey began. She was in a Hospital about 160 mile round trip from where I live. She was on life support so we drove almost everyday to be by her side which depleted all of our money and even what little we had in our savings for gas money and other travel expenses,So we started using our credit cards for gas and many other expenses we were now facing.Sadly she died on April 1,2016. We struggled to get back on our feet.
Tragedy hit again on Mothers Day I lost my beloved 15 year old insulin dependent diabetic cat and we had to come up with money that we didn't have once again to properly dispose of his body. Then 4 days later tragedy struck once again when my husband was on his way home from work and swerved to avoid hitting a dog and ended up slamming into a tree.The car was totaled and my husband suffered head and chest injuries.OK now we are financially sinking because we owed more on the totaled car than what Insurance would cover. We did however own a truck that we used for taking our trash to the dump and other thing you would use a truck for...So even though in was costly fuel wise my husband still had a way to get to work after he finally recovered from his injuries. Sadly that didn't last very long because the rear end went out on the truck and the cost to fix that is $1500 which we didn't have because our credit cards are maxed out at this point. We decided at that point the best thing we could do was get a small loan and a cheap but good on gas milage car...So we got a very small loan because remember we are still paying for a totaled car we don't have anymore and we found a good or so we thought good car at the junk yard for $1000. Sadly about a month after we got it the transmission failed.
Now we are at the point my husband has had to get payday loans just to buy food and try to pay bills(Keep our electric on) And for the first time in our life we are 1 month behind in paying our mortgage and we are severely struggling to make ends meet and I see no light at the end of our tunnel. I am Praying for a Miracle.
We desperately help as soon as possible because we are living on a thread and a Prayer.
If you could please find in in your heart to help us save our very little 3 bedroom 1 bath home and help us with the funds to get at least 1 of our broken vehicles up and running it would mean everything to us. It would be our Christmas Miracle and we would be forever Grateful. God Bless You and Thank You So Much For any Help You can offer,Sharon and Family
