Michaels wish... A family's need...

Well, I don't know where to start... I'm really not one to ask for help... But because of recent events in my life, it puts mine, and my family's quality of life at risk.  I'm a 45 yr old husband and father of 4,  three girls and a son. From 23 down to 12. I also have a 18 month old grandson.  I've been working my entire life, since I was 15. Most of my life I've lived in apartments. It wasn't until about 10-11 yrs ago that I started looking for a house for my family... I knew I couldn't afford much, but I really needed something to accommodate my growing family.. So with bad credit and low hopes, I set out looking for a house... Time and time again, I was turned down... Just as I was about to give up, I saw this house... Yea it was a "fixer upper" but price was good, two story, double lot, and fenced in yard.. And I thought to myself this would be perfect. But like before, I figured I'd get turned down.. I met with the realtor for a walk thru, the whole time thinking to myself, I can fix this, that, and everything else.. I was getting my hopes up for nothing.. So after talking with the realtor, he set me up with a mortgage specialist. We did all the paper work, crossed the "Ts"' dotted the "I"s, so on, an so on... I've been thru this befor. Many a time.  All with same results.  Except this time....I WAS APPROVED!!!  I couldn't believe it!  This may sound corny, or sappy.. But here I was, a man, a father... Actually getting the chance to live the American Dream... My very first house. I was estaictic.. I'd drive by just to look at it, or park in the driveway and just visualize my dreams coming true...I was blessed... 
    So we moved in, did this and did that... Remodeling the living room, the dining room, bathroom... than it hit... The layoff...indefinite....  Wasn't good, but thought, ok we can do this.  Make it by, I'll manage... I WAS WRONG!  That is when everything started to slowly unwind... (The layoff lasted for a few months, but was enough to set the pieces in motion) Pipes burst in the winter, basement flooding all the time, main drain lines cracked... Than bedroom ceiling caved in... All this happened over a course of 3+ yrs... I'd fix one thing, than another would break... I couldn't win.. So I continued to go into debt. I knew I needed a new roof, but didn't have the money,  the back deck was falling apart also, becoming a safety hazarded..  And I fought it. As much as i could... Than the house went in to foreclosure... And I thought to myself, damn.  This can't be happening... Everything I worked for is slowly disappearing...I fought some more...I filled for chapter 13 bankruptcy, had it garnished from my paycheck... Yea it was high, but thought to my self, I saved it.. I saved the house...I was wrong again... As I'm thinking, how dumb can I be, how can I let this happen again.. Putting my family at risk...I was loosing hope... No where to turn, no where to go...was lost... I let my family down.. I failed!!   I need this help as soon as I can recive it, the house will back on forclouser list,  and I am currently in housing court over the roof.
      Than the cancer came, yes CANCER!!  I'm 45!!  Wtf.  Early this February , i was diagnosed with bladder cancer... Kept all the appointments, had the surgery to remove the tumer... But it's not gone.  There still cancer cells in the bladder wall, which is prompting for a 6 week treatment process. Which involves a weakened strand of the TB Virus... I'm scared... Not only my self, but for my family. Because of this, now my family is put at risk cause of my treatment... I have to quarantine one of my bathrooms, so I can deal with this biological virus...once a day, for six weeks...
        How much does one man have to take, before he realizes he's not a man anymore?  How many times do u get knocked down, before realizing your done, and yr not getting back up. I can't do this anymore... I failed as a parent, a father... I let everyone down, including myself and family, friends...   A friend of mine mentioned this site...and I thought no way. I don't ask for help!  I help everyone else.. I don't need it.... I WAS WRONG.    Everyone needs help!  Even me. The guy that helps everyone else, not expecting anything in return... Yes, I need help. I found out that I was "humble",  tonight.  I didn't think so.. Thought I was being a decent human being. So many ppl gave me praise for who I really am...I never thought of my self like this. One of my friends even quoted me a proverb, 

     James 4:6
But he gives more grace.  Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

I read that,  an thought I am humble. That's me!  It's time for me to ask for help, and prayers!  Please if you can find it in yr hearts and soul, please donate!  My house isn't anything special, but for the past 9 years, it's been our home... I would love to have something to leave for my children. Please help keep a fathers wish alive!

    I am raising money for rising medical bills, to save my home,  a new roof, and general household repairs, I need to focus all my energy on beating this evil desiese, and to make sure I'm around for a very long time for my family. I can not express how greatful I would be, if this dream comes through.  To know that my children, and my children's, children has a legacy to carry down thru the generations.  This is not just a house, but our home, please help me save my home! 

Thank you,
Michael W.
