Barbara's New Start Support

My name is Barbara Tandarich. I'm 57 years old. And this past year has been challenging. Had to move from full-time to part-time position and lost benefits and money. A  month after this, I slipped and fell while parking my scooter. Made the best of job change that I could-qualified for subsidized housing so was able to pay rent and bills, but not much else...no new clothes, shoes and so forth. Meanwhile having trouble with right shoulder. When I qualified for access; I could have it looked at and discovered I had badly torn the rotator cuff. No option but surgery. So here I am on unpaid medical leave and what little money I had after using up all accumulated vacation and sick time is now dwindling away. I just need to get past this. I need so many things, but priority is rent and bills. My poor scooter needs a tune-up--no  maintenance in over a year. Classes and clothes to find a full-time better paying job. Yes, things are bad for me now, but will be better in 2015. I know it will. Thank you.
