going thru financial hardship and don't know what to do...( locked out of origal profile account)

downandepressed started this conversation

I joined last night...( depresandown ) but I forgot to change my password and basically was locked out of my original page so I had to create a new one.. and this is it..



Hi, I don't know where to begin, It seems as things started to spiral downward when my husband got medically terminated from his position from a highly well know company. He's had four surgeries, but nothing seem to help he's at the point where he can't walk or stand for periods of time...His disablity claim is depleted, and he's tried to recieve help from the state disability and he keeps on getting denied. He can't claim unemployment cause he wasn't fired or laid off, it was a medical termination.. I'm a mother of two young children, currently looking for a jobs. I've applied for various positions and no one offering to hire me, is it because I was a stay at home for seven years? I really don't know, I know times are very tough right now..but I'm trying to do all the right things. We've alway paid rent on time except for this month, we were late 17 days, and my landlord slaps up with a 3 day notice. being late $550.00 in which we can't pay.. We have no money in our bank accounts, no jobs and now facing eviction. My children are scared that they will not have no where to live.. I have no family both of my parents pass on due to cancer, I have one brother who lives in Japan but he is facing diffculties due to the recent disaster a 9.0 magnetude earthquake and Tsunami.. My husband has no immediate family in this area, and they are not willing to help. I feel so helpless and scared and I don't know what to do. We tried to apply for section 8 but in our county, there is closure and is not accepting applications and was told by the clerk that there is an 10 year waiting list. I have a car that is getting ready to get repossed cause I haven't been able to pay my car payments. I haven't been able to pay for gas or electric in the past 3 months, they are gonna be shutting if off anyday now. My phone bill is late cause I haven't been able to pay that in 3 month as well. I pray everyday that there will be a miracle..but that hasn't happened for me yet.. and because of the fact that we have no money my daughter has become anemic because of her poor diet. I don't know what to do... I'm scared that because we are facing eviction and with a prior bankrupty that I will not be able to find a place to live.. I surely can't pay for any legal fees.. Any suggestion or help is recommended.. Please someone help me.. I'm so down and depressed, I don't know what to do.. my husband is no help either, he's in the same boat as I am...it's affecting my children as well. My landlord is not willing to help us out at all, we even offered to pay the late charges in a different month when we do get money.. they want us out immediately.

@downandepressed, i feel really bad for you as well, and I definitley know what you are going through, this is very difficult for you. the first thing I want to address is your daughters diet. Have you applied for foodstamps? alot of people are ashamed to do so no matter what they're condition is. Please do that ASAP if you havent done so already. Second, take the advise of the next person and call your local numbers like 211 and ask them for the local food banks if any. if you need a freind, im here, once you respond to this i'll leave you my email address or my facebook information. A situation like yours will definitley make you depressed but hey, being depressed is not going to make anything better, on the other hand, how can you NOT be depressed. Im going through a similar situation and the only thing that keeps me at peace is prayer and meditation.

Hello

Have you tried to call 211 and 866 3 hungry for food?

see below for food banks and check local churches for help with food too

http://www.homelessshelterdirectory.org/foodbanks/GAfoodbanks.html

Below is some work from home jobs

And see if you can get some rent help from microgiving and maybe other places here too


http://help-with-rent-security-deposit-utility-bills.starshine1.aidpage.com/

Contact local churches for help with electric bills too and see if there are community resources for your area. I will try to find them but bare with me as I have to go to doctors Wednesday.

I too lost many to cancer. It is a horrible disease along with many other disease out there.

Sincerely,

Starshine
