This isn’t easy for me to write, but I’m going to be honest about what I’m going through right now.
I’m a widow and a senior and since losing my husband, I’ve had to learn how to handle everything on my own. I work two jobs and do everything I can to take care of myself and keep up with my expenses, but life has been throwing more at me than I can manage.
I’ve had some recent medical problems that have been difficult and stressful. I’ve had to go to the emergency room twice and had surgery, which has made an already challenging time even harder. Now I am flooded with many medical bills. On top of that, I’m facing several expenses that I just can’t afford on my own. My 2006 vehicle needs new brakes, rotors and an exhaust repair, undercarriage/frame rust and holes. I have been driving with all of my windows down, but now that the cold weather is approaching it’s going to be very hard to do this. I also have a mold problem in my basement that needs to be taken care of. These aren’t things I can just ignore, and trying to figure out how to pay for everything has been incredibly stressful.
I work hard, (70 hrs a week) and I’m not someone who likes asking other people for help. I do my best to handle things myself, but working two jobs doesn’t mean there is always enough to cover every unexpected expense. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you still find yourself needing a little help.
Losing my husband was one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through. Besides missing him every day, I miss having someone to share life’s worries and responsibilities with. When something goes wrong, there is no one to turn to at home to help figure things out, and it gets overwhelming.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for caring. It means more than you know. Sometimes a little kindness can make a big difference in someone’s life, and right now, I could really use some of that kindness. ❤️🙏
