Our family is in need of a Christmas miracle!! My husband and I have three children that we are raising together and my husband has two daughters from his previous marriage that live in a different state and we are not able to see them often enough, during the holidays we miss them even more and wish we could all be together but we simply can't afford to.
I have been ill for quite a while now.. Some of you know this and some of you do not. I don't talk about it much and I don't complain online of my daily struggles. I have a rare disease that is called still's disease along with other medical issues like fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis that I have because of this illness that have hurt other parts of my body. It is sort of a rare disease that is simalar to Lupas. I suffer daily. I have a great deal of pain through out my entire body. There are some days I can't even walk and I have fevers weekly. Good days are becoming a rarety. One of the last times I seen my Doctor he told my mom and I that there might come a time when I'm not able to walk at all. These are things you probably didn't know about me unless you are in my family. I take so much medication everyday and on Sundays I take over thirty pills and shots too. This disease has made me so sick with other things as well like pericarditis which is water around your heart.. Very painful. With this illness I am not able to work and it caused such a burden in our family. We are now facing losing our Home. We are relying solely on my husbands income and our family is in need of a Christmas Miracle. We just received a notice that our home was put in to foreclosure, we are behind on all bills and we are losing hope fast.
We have sold everything we could in order to get rid of loans and pay off our delinquent bills but some things we couldn't because of the amount of loss we would of took. We are behind on many bills and paid what we could but we don't get help from the state for food because they don't take what my husband pays in child support and insurance, which is almost a thousand dollars a month and also are bills and gas each week to get kids back and forth to school so at times we chose groceries over bills. Thank God for venison. We do though have badgercare which is a state funded health insurance that I would of been dead already without and am so thankful for.
I know that there are so many people struggling this holiday and everyday of the year with there own illnesses, financial problems and hardships... I pray everyday for all and I ask that you do the same for us please.
I never imagined my illness would cause so much pain for my entire family. They struggle when they see me sick and I try not to let my children hurt for me. I have been fighting for disability for a long time now. My doctors have wrote letters on my behalf and are outraged that they are dragging there feet. My son is Autistic and we have been waiting his approval as well as it would open up so many doors for him and help him a great deal. It is almost harder to wake up every morning knowing that because of me we might lose our home :( my doctor doubled my antidepressants but that does not take away the facts.
My children already know that we will not have a big Christmas. They are okay with that as I told them that they do not have much this year because of our struggles. They know that is better to give than receive. We will all be together and love each other and that is far more important than opening presents.. Except yesterday when we had this talk my youngest told me not to worry because Santa will bring gifts. She has been collecting change all over the house in order to buy mama a present.. I didn't want to tell her we might have to cash in for groceries as we did last week with $17.00.
Alot of people probably are thinking .. Why don't you just ask your family for help, well part of are family just aren't able to and the ones that could have already helped others in our family that are struggling and we wouldn't ask because they would only make us feel bad for asking.
We are going to lose our home for Christmas :(....
Our family has not yet come to terms that this might very well be out last Christmas in our HOME. Please God let the right person see this. Our Christmas wish is that we are able to sit my our tree on Christmas morning and know that we are not losing our home.
