Hello, I am a wife to a wonderful husband and a stay at home mom to 4 wonderful children. My family is my life.
Story
It has been a really rough year this year and last year. We have been through the roughest times of our lives. We were never in a situation where we had to ask for help. We were always the ones helping others. We have had hospitalizations, car repo's, and many other things that have really made it rough. Just being able to provide for our children is tough. My husbands paychecks do not even cover all of our necessary bills, so anything extra like food and clothing, we cannot afford anymore. Going to the grocery store would be a luxury for us. Our three oldest children had everything they needed when they were born. Well with the birth of our first son last year, we have not been able to get the things we need for him. He has the major things like a crib and a car seat, but none of the extras that I would actually consider luxuries. I just feel so bad because he is 8 months old and we really should be able to at least get him some of the extra fun things in life. With 3 in diapers and one still drinking formula, that can get expensive also. We do have vehicles, but they are on their last legs. I don't know what we will do when they eat the dirt, because we could never be able to be approved for a loan let alone afford it. As soon as something happens and we try and figure out a way to fix it, something else bad happens. Our lives and the bad luck that we have is a lot like a domino effect. We are willing to do anything we possibly can to better our lives, but we just can't seem to ever catch a break or do the right things. I know we are not worthless people by far, but when you get into a situation like the one we are in right at this very minute, it really starts to make you wonder. Thanks so much for reading my story!
Momof4's Request
Loss of Utilities
Bill: Utility
Description: We are a family of 6 and were set back in November when my husband was hospitalized 3 times and lost work. This is the last bill that we have to get caught up on in order for us to start being financially ok again! Paying this bill off would help us out so much in so many ways
My progress: We have been paying little by little, but it seems like we are not getting anywhere with it. We would love to be able to not have to worry if they are going to shut it off every day!
This is a short term need assistance request for a family of 2 adults & 4 children
My message: I have tried to upload the shut off notice, but for some reason, I am not able to :(
