Biography
Hello, I am a wife to a wonderful husband and a stay at home mom to 4 wonderful children. My family is my life.
My Purpose
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!

Help with oil
Description: Hello Everyone! We are a family of 6 with 4 kids (8months, 3, 4, and 11). We are struggling so bad no matter how hard we try and now we ran out of heating oil last night! It is very very cold here! If anyone could help us out it would really be a big help. I know most places require to have a minimum delivery of 100 gallons of oil and on a Sunday I am sure there would be an extra charge for an emergency! We have been trying our hardest to do this on our own, but every time you turn around something else happens (hospitalizations, doctor bills, the car breaks down). I can't even see when we could afford it. My husband works 2 jobs and it still just doesn't seem to be enough! I don't know what else we can do. But we are willing to do anything at all to better our lives. Please if anyone could help, we would be very greatful. Thank you for reading this. Let me know if I did this wrong. Thanks

Please help with electric
Description: Hello, we are in desperate need of help to pay our electric bill. We are a family of 6. My husband works his butt off with 2 jobs and we still can't make it. Everytime we think we can get caught up, someone gets sick and has to go to the dr.s or hospital and my husband has to miss work. If we could afford a babysitter, I would love to get a job. We are so behind and cannot get caught up. We were put on a payment plan and budget plan, but this month we could not make it on the date so that is now cancelled. I don't know what to do anymore. We owe a total of $581.91. I do have a bill to show this. I don't want to be in this position anymore. I just want a better life for my kids. Any questions, feel free to ask me! Thank you very much for your consideration:)
