Mom of three in need of help and ask for help for my dad that's in the hospital.
Words can't describe what such bad situation I'm in at this time. While the father of my kids is incarcerated for the second time,this time for drug possession; I was left to financially support my three kids and pay for rent,utilities,car payment,and unfortunately haven't been able to pay my credit card bills which total close to $45, 000. I put everything aside to be able to pay for what is a necessity. At this time, I'm being harrassed to pay my debt otherwise I may be sent to court. It comes at a time that I am emotionally drained. My father recently had a stroke and is in the hospital. My father himself had a lot of financial responsibility after my mom had recurring breast cancer three and a half years ago. Being left with medical bills that totalled more than $70,000, my dad was laid off last year and unfortunately couldn't pay for everything. As a result of his hospitalization, we came to find out that he is diabetic and has high blood pressure. Needless to say, he also needs help financially. We would like to have somebody take care of him as he is not able to walk on his own or do any everyday activities. We are left wondering how we will be able to pay for the medical expenses, for his care, for his accrued bills and be able to help with transportation. I feel very helpless not knowing how I can help financially if I live pay check to pay check, being on a budget and with no money for anything other than the basic necessities.
We have been told that my dad may not be able to qualify for Disability until he's 62 yrs. old and hopefully at that time, he would receive Medicare. This is the bottom of the barrel for me and quiet frankly, I don't know what is left of me. I have gone through a ten year abusive relationship and now was left behind wondering what I can do to survive. In spite of trying to have faith , just the things that have happened recently have completely brought me down feeling very afraid of my dad's health and left wondering what is going to take place with my financial debt. My dad always helped me out by cosigning for me and now that I have bad credit, I would like to be able to get it in good standing again since I don't have a car of my own, and I'm renting. With three kids, I would like to have the peace of mind that I would be able to proceed in getting my own transportation or home without my credit being an obsticle. I say thank you for anybody that is willing to help and believe me, the help is greatly appreciated.
