Help the Filskov Family

I cannot believe that it has actually come this but there comes a time when you need to swallow your pride and do what is best for your family. My story is simple and I will break down exact numbers so you understand what is happening. I am currently on disability from work (can never go back to police work), I bring home about $2792.00 a month. From that 1167.00 goes to the mortgage, $546.00 for my health insurance, $381.00 for Chrissy's health insurance, & 185.00 for my medications. I am Diabetic and I have had to not get my medication so we could eat. That leaves $513.00 a month from which I am supposed to make a car payment $400.00, car insurance (currently have none), pay utilities (owe ComEd 2600.00, they can't turn us off until April), groceries, cell phones (off, owe Sprint $800.00).
I think you can get the idea. People have told me to apply for Public Aid. I tried, thankfully I got insurance for my two boys but that is it. Applied for SNAP, eligible for $83.00 a month (I can't even feed my dogs for that amount). I do not qualify for any programs because they count only your gross income and I am $100.00 over the limit.
My wife, Chrissy, cannot work due to six bad discs in her back and the doctors say it is to dangerous to try and fix them. She also suffers from Fibromialgia and now she she will have to help me out after my knee surgery on January 19, 2015.
The only positive I have is that I saved us from losing our house. Thank God!!
If anyone is interested in helping, THANK YOU. If you cannot, then please pray for us. I understand how things are today for everyone but my money making abilities are severely diminshed due being disabled right now and I need to get some of these boulders off of me so I have some fresh to start out in.
I cannot file bankruptcy because I cannot come up with lawyer and filing fees and to be honest I really don't need to file if I can just get back to ground zero and start fresh.
I cannot axplain to you how it feels for me that I am doing this but I am out of ideas and I have nowhere to go.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
