As I sit here in this apartment I am just about to loose everything I own mostly because of one person thinking that there is some job in this world that i can do therefore i am not disabled in any way. I do not live beyond my needs, my rent is fairly inexpensive, I no longer have the energy or health to do what i have done in the past. i live on a daily basis with pain, dizziness, i walk with a limp and use a can, i have no insurance any longer and in fear of my health. for i could not survive a stroke one more time and of course my luck would be the 2 most common things for stroke are high blood pressure and stress, both of which i have massive amounts of. still striving every day for help from government funded programs that only seem to help those who do not need it. when i go to one of the offices i notice the nice clothes, new cars, laptops, fancy cell phones all of which i once had but those little things we often take for granted are actually a luxury i can not afford. i am in a few days about to be 4 months behind on my rent and because i have not filed taxes last year i can get no help. well little do they know i did not make enough money to file. as i sit here starving and wondering what the hell could go wrong next i just smile and try to tell myself i am a fighter what does not make us weak makes us strong.......ha ha ha. everyday i have to try to convince myself that this is true. you know i always have been one to help others, and one thing i have definately found out is you truely know who your friends are when you are down and out. i know no one who has money any more and i can honestly say i can count my friends on one hand.. i do not ask for handouts, but if you need something i would do everything in my power to help you regaurdless of my situation. are there any real people in this world today that are not just worried about themselves..... welll i can not seem to find very many of them at all.. sad but so true. and to people following me thanks and yes i know where my loser husband is. he is of no use to me i do not run and hide from people. i should of had my eyes open a little more when he done some of the things he done when we were married. i do the best i can do because that is the way i am i will help anyone anytime. and that will not change.

It is sad that it is so hard for someone who obviously needs the help, to get it, when there are others who use and abuse the system and take advantage of the help that can be offered. Try your best to keep a positive attitude, and have you tried approaching any churches, community organizations or even the town government (not the federal programs) many of them have programs where they can issue vouchers for food, and help with rent from time to time, which may buy you enough time to figure out what to do. Hope things work out!
