FIN #24-RI--Needs met!
Please contact Milk8Shake, if you have something for this family.
What is your family situation? My husband was unemployed for over a year, and finally had to take a job at nearly half his former salary, not enough to live on. Just a couple months later, I got laid off, but I guess it doesn't matter since I'm now unable to work due to medical issues and would have had to quit soon anyway. DS has some special needs that we're still trying to sort out. We have a lot of medical & therapy bills between the 3 of us. Things in our home keep breaking & we've had to do our best to fix things ourselves or just do without. We have cut back everywhere we can but we still do not make enough to make ends meet & are living off of our savings & are constantly in fear of the day we will run out. I am nervous about submitting this because I know there are others much worse off but we are really struggling & could really use some uplifting if anyone feels moved to help our family.
Which holiday(s) does your family celebrate? Christmas
Any allergies or sensitivities in the family? (e.g. cat, dog, smoke) smoke
