Help the Streich Family stay home

I want to thank you all so much after Jody passed away Ruth and Robert (our parents) were crushed and at his funeral seeing the military service man take a knee to hand my father the flag after they folded it was the hardest I have ever cried. Sadly a few months after Ruth took a turn for the worse and lost her battle with cancer, before she passed I promised that I would not let my father give up on life and that I would keep him at home. 

It's been a rough time the last 13 years from my parents having 150K dollars stolen from them and the women getting away with it because of a corrupt judge and court house to Robert being disabled (he has no use of his right arm or leg and only 3 working fingers on his "good" hand) and the medical issues that have followed him these last dozen years it's been a drain on us mentally, physically and financially. 

I can say with 100% certainty that we would not be here today without you and I can never thank you all enough for that. I have decided to close this with the hopes that 2018 will be a good year and we won't have any major issues like we did this last year between hospital stays, 3K in car repairs and the kitchen/bathroom pipes bursting and all needing replaced it's been a hell of a year. 

We're still behind on the mortgage and I have to find a way to pay off the credit union (paid 200 but wasn't good enough want the whole 580) before the court action (not sure what it will be or if I have to appear, for the judge sake hope I don't have to appear before his corrupt a**)

Have been considering all options, I'm still optimistic for next year we just have to make it that far. If we can keep the mortgage 1 month behind until tax time I should be able to get caught up and the utililies are managable. My fear is what happens from the credit union if it's a sheriff sale or they take the money out of my paycheck or what.  I will have to see if I can come up with that money somehow but that's my problem

The mess we're in right now isn't because of medicine, hospital visits, cancer or the deaths in recent years it's 100% on me and the sad thing is I would do it again every time. For the last 10+ years I've always put my father (and mother) ahead of myself and I will continue to do that no matter the cost to me health wise or financial because that's the promise I made and what I feel is right. 

This will be closing at midnight, I raised the goal by 300 but don't expect to get it but wanted to leave it open a few more hours. I filled out the paperwork for the Department of Aging waiver program to keep getting paid as my fathers caregiver and keeping him at home after a few hours of doubting myself and wondering if being here with me is what's best for him but I snapped out of it and will turn it in (have to stop at bank and get statement, ran out of printer ink the other day but have until 1/1 to turn it in.. 

Again thank you all so much and have a happy new year and please, please, please if you drink don't drive.
