Last month I lost my father, my mother lost her soulmate, and we also lost our family dog only a week after. 

If any of you have ever lost someone, you know how expensive even just cremation can be. Not to mention the medical bills for our dog as well. The cremation bills alone have come up to around $1,300 and the medical bills for my dog around $400. Now, not only is our rent going up, we are hitting Canadian winter as well. Already our utility bills are an insane $800 a month, and now our car has broken down as well, and our insurance has only covered about half, and we need winter tires.

We are working on moving into a smaller place with less expense, but have had very little luck thus far, and cannot move anyway until we can crawl out of this pit of debt.

Needless to say this is a lot to be thrown at all at once. My mom has had to keep working and has been unable to take time to grieve, my siblings and I are having our hours cut at work. All around a kick in the teeth as it were.

So long story short we're struggling big time without my dad, and we need help. As my mom always says "every penny counts!" SO if you're able to, even just a dollar could make a world of difference to us. Please help us make it through this winter.

Thank you and bless.
