Help Terry and Momma Overcome Hardship

I am beyond desperate for help. I have struggled with asking for help because I keep praying that things would have gotten easier for my mother and I, but it hasnt instead its has gotten harder.

Backstory...it started 3 years ago when my mother retired from working from her job of 27 years (along with her pay included we had a free housing and utilities as part of her pay). She and I decided to move back to my hometown and we found out the apartment we got contained black mold. We had to find something else quickly afterwards and find out really fast as well that we were not going to survive on my disability and my moms widows benefit. Momma went through her retirement money quickly with paying off any credit cards, vehicle, and the move itself. We were told to pay off our 2 vehicles and get one in order to buy a home, which was our dream to own our on home. So there went her retirement money, my heart broke for my mom, 27 years of hard work and nothing to show for it. We were drowning fast, we had to use the line of credit again to just cover the remaining bills for each month. We applied several times for Food Stamps, assistance with bills, anything that could possibly help us we applied..and was denied every time. Because Momma received to much a month and so do I. We applied for everything separately. Finally, we are able to find a job at a daycare. We were getting back on our feet slowly but Momma and I had caught covid during the summer we moved and I began to notice she couldn't hear as well and she said her vision was blurred more. She was able to find a Dr and he stated that she has Maculular Degenerative disease it was bad. She started receiving treatment in her eye. While, working in the daycare my immune system my gosh I couldn't stay well. I have so many autoimmune disease plus taking biological medication didn't help any at all. But we had 1 vehicle and trying to do something that we could work together and we loved keeping and taking care of the precious babies. But my immune system said no more I was horrendously sick constantly and my health from my disabilities was declining because of it, so we left the daycare business. My Momma hearing was getting worse daily. So, we had to get her a hearing aid for both ears and her Maculular Degenerative disease spread now to both eyes and she is getting treatment. Now, to present day, Momma has not been able to find a job that will hire her. I am working its is considered seasonal, I pray every day that the company will keep me but my hours vary each week. I have cried to my bosses and explained the situation.

The problem is we are having is we aren't making ends meet. I have been paying our bills each month and not have enough to pay all of them. I dont have enough money to buy food to last us a week. We are doing the best with what we are able to buy at the store.

Well, on Sunday we went to get enough to last a couple of days and my Momma told me through conversation that she had gone to bed hungry and not ate all day. No! NO! NO! I couldn't handle that I did my best not to cry my eyes out in front of her! I told her no! We are buying food and I will do anything to try and find us help with our bills.

Yes, I had been going without food but I cant handle my Momma No!! I am begging for prayers and if any one is able to help my momma and I, I will forever be grateful. Within the last year, we have had to go into debt again due to myself having an emergency root canal done, borrowed from line of credit to pay that months bill even to buy groceries. We have to borrow against my moms life insurance policy to try and make it because I had been off sick with pneumonia several times due to working at a daycare at the time . I mean we have battled just to survive. I am just asking if you can spare a dollar or even 50 cents or if you dont have that to please share it because I dont know what we are going to do even now for all my medications. I lost medicaid a couple of months ago due to a difference of 9.00 being over the limit in this state. I dont have extra money for this now with all our bills! I cry all the time because I dont know what else to do! I know that God says Fear Not and I have my trust in the Lord! But my nerves are hanging in by a thread. Thank you for reading I know it was alot.. I just wanted to give all the facts as much as I can. Please Please keep my momma and I covered in your prayers.

Thank you so much and God bless you all
