Donate to Protect Carrie's Home and Health

Donation protected
UPDATE: I have to raise $1,000 for my deductible and then aI can finally have my car back. I've been without it since December, 11th 2024. I appreciate all donations that I have recieved so far. Thanks to those, I can pay my part of the repair bill. You are all so wonderful! I pray for many blessings for you. After the car is fixed, I will only have to raise $2,000 to do my gutters.
So things have gone from bad to worse. My car broke down this month. The VW dealership just called and gave me a list of things that are wrong. This is the straw that broke the camel's back. I am disabled, I can't work, I have no income, I worry about my mother who has an incurable cancer, my dad is house bound, I have several of my own health issues and the list goes on. I have trouble asking for help. I'm crying as I type this. I've been trying to remain postive and upbeat. I can't do this anymore. I already can't pay my mortgage and other bills. I pray for and help everyone else as best I can but I forget about myself. Please, I have to ask, please help me by donating anything you can. Thank you and God bless.








  • Hello all. My name is Carrie and like many, I am in need of financial aid. I am not in the best health and can't work. Unum Disability recently dumped me. They seem not to care.

I recently applied for a grant to button up my old, drafty house. I got the grant, but the nice contractors told me I will need to get gutters first. There is moisture in my cellar as a result of not having gutters, and my style of roof has a ton of runoff. Obviously, I can't afford gutters. All of the stress I am under from not having money coming in to pay bills and more is doing physical damage. I get heart palpitations and recently, my hands will shake when I am overstressed. I can't sleep well and so much more. I am a do-it-myself kind of person, and it is very hard to ask for help. I am no good at this and am not sure of all I should say. I was born with anxiety and depression. I am treated for that, but the stress sure isn't helping. I managed to tear both of my rotator cuffs and am in pain a lot. I'd get surgery, but it terrifies me. I have PTSD (God bless all who deal with PTSD). It's so defeating to not be all that I once was. It's crushing some days. I won't keep going on. Thank you for reading this far. I really need to get these gutters on my house. I was very blessed last year and won a brand new roof from Long Construction in Rochester, NY. I am very worried about it getting any damage from not having gutters.

God bless you all. Thank you.
