Alright, I'm swallowing my pride, and asking for help. Not an easy thing for me to do. Where to start... Well about 5 years ago I moved back home to take of my mother , who has Lupus. She had just lost 2 husbands in the span of four years, the first one my father. We were doing good the first couple of years, until my fiance's job slowed. Moble Home bussiness is fickle to begin with, now it was worse. At first, he was still working several days a week. But those became fewer and fewer, untill now he works maybe 3 days out of the month. He goes out searching for work as often as he can, but we live 15 miles from town, and gas is not cheap. So now we live off my mother social security check, less than $1,100 a month and $84 in food stamps. The house was free and clear after my father's death, but then we had to take a mortgage out to get a new roof. That's $297 a month. $190 for car, life and home insurance, about $76 a month for phone, $60 for water, about $100 for Directv. plus perscriptions, $80 for what medicare does not cover, gas, and food. And then the is the electric. $382 this bill. We were able to get help from LIHEAP last month but it did not cover the whole amount. Before that, my grandmother paid it for 3 months. She herself on social security, and raising my son so I can take care of mom. I would say we have been barely making ends meet. Now the don't even come close. We cancel wedding dreams, sold or pawn anything of value, including my engagement ring set. The water is set to be shut off by the first of the week, and electric by the 18th. We have used up all extentions and payment arrangments. I feel like a bear being poked, I'm worry so much about it all that I make myself sick. I cannot seem to find any assistance that we quaifiy for, and mom's bad credit scores keep the banks at bay. My Grandma always says God answers all our prayes, so that's what I'm doing. It's all I got left.
Please help, I don't know what else to do.
