I've always tried to handle things on my own, but recently I've fallen ill and it's made working nearly impossible. I tried to keep going, but I can't stand for long periods, and it's become clear that I need to focus on my health. While I've applied for assistance, the process is slow, and in the meantime, my bills and mortgage are piling up.

My son, who is autistic, isn't ready to get out there and help support us, and I have no other family to turn to. It's a difficult position to be in, and asking for help is not easy for me. But right now, we're facing a lot of uncertainty, and I'm doing everything I can to keep a roof over our heads and provide some stability for my son.

Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world to us. I'm swallowing my pride to reach out, and I truly appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering lending a hand.
