Recently my husband who was the main provider for our house had a massive heart attack and is out of work. He had an obstruction in a part of his heart called the Widowmaker. It was 100% blocked. There were a lot of areas that needed surgery and he ended up with two surgeries and 6 stents total. He had a heart attack for 13 hours and survived because he was too stubborn to go to the doctors! I’m very lucky to still have him but he can no longer work because, as he waited so long, his heart is not working only at a 30% capacity. His exciting energetic life is now slowed down.
I was a stay-at-home Mom and now I have to go out and get a job.. which I did! I was so happy and relieved because the bills pile up pretty quick and I finally have a light at the end of the tunnel however I still need to get to work. Our car is currently not running because it has issues with the engine so I have to take an Uber if I want to go anywhere. The job is a $25 Uber ride away from us so every day I have to pay $50. I had saved up enough so that I could make it for one week because I get paid weekly but I didn’t realize the fact that there was a waiting week and now I’m short for the cab rides. I’m hoping soon we can fix the engine of the car and get it back up and running so I don’t have to pay for an Uber anymore. It would save us a lot of money. I just can’t seem to get the leg up some reason.. I’m definitely trying though. I was just hoping maybe someone.. anyone would want to help a mom that’s trying to keep her family together financially. Could karma always comes back. I’m a big believer in that and I’ve always been good to other people.
Every little bit helps. I really appreciate your time reading this and John is doing okay right now. He cut back drastically on smoking and he’s been feeling better. He deserves to enjoy the rest of his life because he’s always given me and the kids a that. We didn’t have to worry. Now I would like to give that kindness and support back to him but in order to do that I need to make it through the first few weeks of work so I can get a financial start. Thanks friends for reading. There’s a lot of poor people struggling. I feel horrible. Knowing that the end of that is coming gives me hope. It lets me know and maybe things will get better for us all.
