The nightmare continues
Donation protected
It’s been nearly a year and a half since I started this. I did so because I was absolutely desperate. So many of you were so generous. I still can’t fathom the generosity.
Things haven’t gotten any better since then. Not really. Disability never came through despite assurances, so we have been living hand to mouth for way too long. Kirk has been able to go back to work thankfully, but not a lot of companies want “damaged goods” so to speak. He is working for a smaller company now. He’s gone more than he’s home and because some malevolent person decided it would be fun to hack his bank account. No bank will have him. I’ve kept quiet about the struggles because even I get tired of hearing it.
Today I have to go to court again because we’re behind on our rent. I give nearly all my paycheck to it and he gives me over half of his. Every cent has gone to one bill or another and it’s still not enough. I may get evicted today. I’m not sure what will happen. We were so close to getting caught up and then of course a bad paycheck led to falling behind again. The long and the short of it is, I need more help.
I’m exhausted from trying to stretch what I have to meet all the needs. It’s impossible. At this point I can’t afford to move and I can’t afford to stay. We’ve lost so much over the last almost 2 years. I don’t want to lose what little I’ve managed to hold on too. I apologize for the self pitying ramble. I know I’ve asked too much but I’m out of options.
