Unfortunately, I'm writing this needing a little help.

Our daughter, Marissa, has been sick for 4 months now. Her mom and I have been spending every available moment with her. We have been in and out of the hospital with her since October. Her mother and I have not worked a full week's worth of work since October. This latest stint has had us with Marissa in the hospital before Christmas. We are falling behind on bills fast. I hate to ask; it feels like I'm begging or asking for a handout. But if you could help us, we would greatly appreciate it.
