Hi everyone, I am doing something I never in my life thought I would do, or have to do. I am going to be completely transparent here.

I'm not one to normally admit defeat, and I really don't like asking for help. I hate being a burden on people, and I'm embarrassed when I have failed to the point that I have to ask for money, yet here I am. Over the past few years, my family have struggled financially, however this current year, it's gotten bad enough that I am now officially behind on bills. Mike and I split bills equally, however anything extra on his part has to go towards medical because of his diabetes, heart failure, blindness from diabetes, and kidney failure. He does all he can to help, but given the status of our country and how prices of the cost of living has skyrocketed, it just doesn't seem enough between the two of us. I've even picked up a second job which is helping just to have groceries in the fridge. This obviously poses problems, and I'm not going to lie, makes me even more nervous for Christmas, which is fast approaching. I have managed to put myself into some credit debt and that's equally as stressful, but at this point, I'm just trying to catch up with bills to get myself back on track.

I was worried to start a GoFundMe because I know there are people out there that have much worse issues financially than my family, but I guess this is just a little cry for help. I don't know what else to do at this point. Any share is much appreciated, and of course, and donation is one step closer to helping us pay our bills we are behind on. Thank you so very much for even taking the time to read this and for your support. I am forever in your debt for you are lifting my family and I out of the trenches.
