I’m needing help. My children in the photo are grown. My youngest is 16 and we’ve gone from a somewhat happy life, to everyday stresses, just like everyone else, But we are NOT making it. My husband served 23 years in the Marine Corps, then to us being homeless, with our two younger children who were 12 and 14 years old. People think you serve and automatically your good to go, but that’s not the case.
That’s why there’s so many homeless veterans. We got absolutely no help from the military once he got out. Not even help in finding a job. We now live in an apartment but we’re struggling more than we were when we were homeless. Our son who had just entered the marine corps went out of his way and took all of his pay to get us into a hotel and then an apartment. That made me cry that here he is barely earning his pay and he gave it all to us to get us settled.
That is why I am wanting to pay him back. What a wonderful son is he. I try so hard to keep us grounded but because we are over $45,000 behind on everything, it’s hard to even catch up a little. we keep getting hit with life, just like everyone else in the world. The reason I’m asking for help is not just because we need it, but because ALL of us need help. My oldest son is going through medical problems and while he’s dealing with that, his wife asked for a divorce. So there’s six of us now living in a three bedroom apartment and it’s been really hard. Not only that, but with my sons illness we can only eat certain things and it’s hard to afford the things he needs. I too have been dealing with many medical issues along with being in chronic pain for nine years.
I’ve been through shots in my spine, to shots in my pelvic area and physical therapy, and nothing helped. I have depression, anxiety, chronic PTSD due to childhood torture. I also need help to help my son pay his medical bills. I know there’s people out there with extreme issues but it doesn’t lessen our need for help. We would appreciate all and anything anyone could do to help. Please please help with anything you can. It will be greatly appreciated. We’ve been struggling for So long that we can no longer see a light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve gone from being a broken child in every way to a broken adult.
I need to help my family and years of trying has gotten me no where. I beg of you I know its not cancer, or something deadly, so I do thank God for that, But we still are in extreme need of help. Please pass this along to family and friends because anything truly will help us And it will be so greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading our story.
