Funeral and more

Many of you may know my husband passed away. He died suddenly and unexpectedly, as we thought he had more time.

I have been busy making arrangements, and he had a paid up plan for his cremation, but the fees have gone up, and I had to use my bill money to pay the difference. I now cannot pay my car note this month.

I have been in contact with Social Security and his pension, it will take some time, up to 6 months to kick in. I am in the middle of moving things that I normally would be selling, because they sold my storage I was renting, and are tearing it down. I'll have plenty to sell, but no time, as I was given a hard deadline. I don't even have time to grieve.

I am asking for help. I need to be able to get by for 2 months until I can get my feet back under me. It takes time to sell stuff, so I just asking for enough to cover that time. I've been taking care of my husband for the last 9 years. His meds were expensive, so we used credit cards to make up the difference. I have debt, and I'll pay it. I just need help for 2 or 3 months until I get this all figured out. I don't know how they expect people to survive when they have to wait months for a pension that was already paid for.

I am asking for $3000 to cover the shortfalls of the cremation expenses and to pay my bills. I am scrambling, but I can't take time to sell stuff until I'm out and that's when the bills are due.

I know money is tight. Believe me!

I've been silently helping where I could for years. I've been reminded, it's time for me to accept help. This is hard for me. I'm usually the one helping. So I have been humbled to ask for help. whatever you can afford, it all adds up. I have things I'll be posting asap. I do have to be out of this warehouse by the end of the month, I'm trying to get a few more days.

I have hired an estate seller, she won't get paid until stuff sells. I used to have 3 antique malls.

I'm in danger of losing my car and being evicted with nothing if I can't make something happen. I've got my back against a wall. I'm asking for help. I would be ever so grateful. If I could pay with tears, I'd be a millionaire.

Please realize, I do not ask for help lightly. it's very hard. I hate putting my problems on others, but I'm stuck. I'll be selling his brand new hospital bed, I had to pay for out of pocket, as well as an electric wheelchair, I also paid for, as his Dr suddenly moved at the time Dave broke his back. I'm still paying those off. hopefully the Trust will make a payment soon, and I can get by until I move to a cheaper state.

I will miss you all. This won't happen for a few weeks or months, as I have much to do before then.

We will have a memorial soon. Some of you may remember Dave from working at Grocery Outlet, he used to be Santa Clause there.

He has struggled more with his health since we went through the Camp Fire. The smoke inhalation definitely made it worse. We helped out afterwards to help others, and to help us cope.

I miss him so much!

Thank you in advance. I'll be packing and moving, then selling almost everything I own.
