Paid $250 on $775 oil bill and we’re low on heating oil.

and of course

Our hospital, ambulance and doctor bills are now $3,900 ish and going UP. Because Ruth has bills for $1890 and I have a VA hospital bill and VA pharmacy bills of $2,700

Everyone has been so supportive. Unbelievably supportive. A friend urged me (badgered me) to continue the gofundme we had running. So I caved. With my recent scary emergency hospitalization and Ruth’s leg so bad that she couldn’t even walk into the hospital to bring me home… blah blah blah… I am asking that ONLY those who have not kicked in to consider it now.

We’re facing heating oil bills, some remaining property taxes, and we have an application in for LIHEAP energy assistance.

Additionally we’re fostering NOT at our choosing five kittens whose mother gave birth to them, took care of them for two weeks, then fled the scene. We don’t know what happened to her. Regardless now we have to care for them until we can find homes for them in about another month.

All this while we try to survive on ridiculously low social security benefits.
