Recent changes in my life : I'm a victim of this bad economy with so many problems. I can relate to those who are faced with losing their home because I have already lost mine. It has caused me so much heartbreak because I saved for years and it was to be my retirement home. Anyway, my troubles began when I had sudden kidney failure for no identifiable cause and was out of work for three months and lost my full-time job because of being on medical leave. Then couldn't find full-time work. Things continued go downhill so I got moved to another state to be near my daughter. Then couldn't find full-time work here either and my daughter and her husband had to move back to our home state because they, too, were stuggling here. They couldn't afford to move me, too, and had to move in with his parents. They have their own problems and wanted to move me, too, but just not enough money to move two households, etc.
I have a part-time job that gives me such poor income that it barely pays my rent. There's no full-time work here for a woman unless you're a nurse. I've worked my fingers to the bone trying to find work. This is a depressed farm state and very few jobs. I am faced with embarrassment every month of having to seek help from the community program or from anywhere that I can get help from just to keep my utilities from being cut off. I don't have any money for basic needs, gas for my car, car insurance, etc., etc, which you can't get assistance for. I have always paid my bills myself and am faced with embarrassment every month of having to ask for help. I want to once again be able to pay my bills by myself. Since I lost my house it seems that my heart is faced with one heartbreak after another and my spirit has been crushed. If it wasn't for my faith in God and reading the Bible, I don't know how I could have carried on.
I have talked to my old employer in my home state and she said if I can get moved back she will give me my old full-time job back. I had worked there 11 years. Two issues -- money and timeframe. I figure it's going to take about $8,500 to get moved and re-situated back to my home state -- cost of moving, renting a place to house me and my pets, and a little to live off of until I get a paycheck coming in. The other issue is timeframe -- it snows so much here all winter that the roads are just too dangerous for moving so I need to move soon while the weather is warm.
I have tried to sell my recipe online that I created, but have not even had one response. I just don't know how I am going to get back to my home state to get my life back on track without asking for help. That's why I am here.
From the bottom of my heart I will always be grateful to everyone who helps me out of this bad situation that I am in. And once I am back on my feet again I plan to help some other needy person who is struggling in life as I have been.
