Some of us care, but a lot just do not. Like you, I helped out so many people when I had a home and a good job. I housed, fed and clothed several people in addition to taking care of my own responsibilites and family. Now that I am down on my luck, not one of them has offered to help me out. Public assistance is a nightmare and all I get is the pre-recorded loopty-loop. And when I ask for help, they act like "too bad for you, you 'll be fine," as if money grows on trees, credit reports fix themselves and jobs just fall into my lap and a new car is simply gifted to me. You KNOW what I mean. Anyway, I have nothing to give, but I will pray for you. Best of luck.
Everything went wrong all at once. My husband was cheating and our 16 year old daughter found the pictures of him with someone else. He squeezed every penny out of me and then left. Now he lives with his boyfriend, thousands of miles away after conning me out of my entire inheritance. Our daughter got no emotional or financial support from him. She had a teen pregnancy and I lost my job a tthe same time. Legal problems ensued and poverty surrounded us. She is grown and on her own now but I am without help. I got a low paying job but lost it because my car died and no buses run there. I tried to buy another car, but it died too. Could not afford car insuranced so they took away my driver's license and want $500 before I can get it back. I got onto the foodstamp program but I can never reach them by phone and have been unable to access my case through their website since day one. I have been looking for work on foot because my bike was stolen after having it only one day and I do not have bus money. It is hard to be impressive when getting soaked in the rain. It has been raining nearly every day for two months straight. I am 12 days away from losing everything I have in storage, including my late mother's ashes, photos, clothes, diary, etc. Though people have promised to let me use a truck to get my stuff, they backed down because of their own problems. Though my daughter promised to help me financially, she has backed down too because of her own medical and legal problems. I need a job, $150, or a truck immediately. Please pray for me. I have no family or friends who can help and public assistance seems unreachable.
