I am an elementary school teacher who has been through a rough couple of years, starting back in 2016. I began to be hit by medical bills for myself and my dog, and in trying to improve my career, I ended up at some tough schools. It culminated in a massive stress attack on Dec. 31, 2017. After that I moved to be closer to my family, only to land at another bad school. I started having stress attacks again and had to quit my job. I was left with a mountain of debt and had to cash in 18 years of my state retirement to settle my debts. It was not enough, and so I had to declare bankruptcy. Now, a year after the worst has passed, I am in a much better place. And I am ready to repair my life, beginning with my finances. I would appreciate so much any amount. And I hope that once I am back on my feet, financially, I can "pay it forward" to someone else.
