Hi Fiends, Family, Acquaintances & Others,
I never imagined me to be in this situation. I have always been productive, working, resourceful, and also helping others as much as possible, but now I am starting to feel like I can’t survive on my own. I was not working while helping to care for my grandchild this last year. Then I got a really scary diagnosis (which I am hoping was a big mistake because I’m still here. Healthy-wise I’m doing quite well – just prone to tiredness now more frequently than in the past. (I am 75 years old!) But was in good condition up to the end of last year. I did have some serious dental problems, that I put off for two long (not good!) I finally am having my teeth worked on (and removed) – VERY COSTLY – and draining what little savings I have–and rapidly. I’ve been saving money on rent by house and pet-sitting over the last few years, but I realize I need stability in my life — moving around all the time is beginning to takes its toll on me and I’m starting to feel anxiety – something I’ve never had before – perhaps because I always found a good situation just in the nick of time. I think maybe the dental work and surgery might be wearing me down as well. I just need a boost up- some assurance that I will have a viable place to stay (I’m working very hard on getting senior housing) and until I can get my bearings back and, hopefully, a regular job! Anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated. Bless you and I hope all is well with you and yours. (I know these are trying times for a lot of us) Wendy
