Family in need of help - Bigtenn7723 - 05-08-2023

The past few months have been a challenging time for me and my family. We were forced to relocate after my husband lost his job due to the pandemic. Our finances were already tight, and relocating only added to our troubles. At that point, we thought we had hit rock bottom, but little did we know that the worst was yet to come.

My 14-year-old son, who had been struggling with depression and anxiety, attempted to take his own life by overdosing on pills. We were devastated by the news. It was the most harrowing experience of our lives. I felt helpless, hopeless, and lost. My son was rushed to the emergency room and was hospitalized for weeks. I was by his side day and night, praying for his recovery, but as each day passed, our medical bills kept piling up. We were already struggling to make ends meet, and the medical bills only added to our financial burden.

Meanwhile, we were staying at a friend's shed, which offered us some respite from our financial woes. But as the days went by, we knew that we needed to find a more permanent solution. It was hard to come to terms with the fact that we had nothing to call our own, not even a roof over our heads.

I began applying for jobs, but unemployment was at an all-time high, and job openings were few and far between. Despite being an experienced worker, I was struggling to get interviews, let alone offers. The situation seemed bleak.

As days turned into weeks, we started running out of money to pay rent and put food on the table. We were surviving on meager savings and the kindness of our friends, who offered us a helping hand whenever they could.

Today, we are still struggling to make ends meet. Our medical bills remain unpaid, and we are still looking for a place to call home. We need money for gas and food, and we have nowhere to turn to except the kindness of others.

We know that we are not alone in our struggles, and we hope that someone out there will read our story and offer us a helping hand. We appreciate any support that you can offer, be it in the form of a donation, a job offer, or simply a kind gesture. In these difficult times, we cling to hope and pray for a brighter future. Thank you for taking the time to read about our situation, and God bless.
