Upon the recommendation of a dear friend, I've decided to ask for help with the current state of my life. Asking for help is not something I'm comfortable doing, but my friend pointed out everyone needs help sometime and it's ok to ask, so here goes.

I'm a 62-year-old single woman who is terminally ill and unable to work. I live on a fixed income from Social Security, so I'm not able to earn extra money to get what I need to live modestly. I just moved across the country to be closer to family so I could continue to live on my own. Unfortunately, circumstances beyond my control limited what I could bring. I was only able to fly home with 3 suitcases of my clothes and personal items. I had to forfeit everything in my house: my bed, linens, pillows, TV, all living room and bedroom furniture. A friend loaned me a mattress to put on the floor. I have no lamps, dishes, pots and pans, hangers, a shower curtain, even a trash can. I need everything a person needs to just live. I would love to be able to get a used sofa, a couple of tables, and a bed frame since it is extremely painful and physically hard to be mobile and climb up off the floor to get up. Anything from anyone, from old friends and new ones, would make life easier for me. It's a little embarrassing to be 62 and have nothing to show from my life. I've never been this far out starting over. Thank you for listening. God Bless.
