My name is Wolfgang, and I am reaching out during the most difficult time of my life. On October 20, 2024, I lost my wife of 27 years. She was my whole world, and her passing has left me not only heartbroken but also facing overwhelming financial challenges. The life insurance barely covered her medical, hospital, and specialist bills. I had to transfer her credit card balances to mine, which quickly depleted my savings. To pay off the rest, I applied for a home equity loan, and now I am burdened with high monthly payments. My credit cards are maxed out from covering loans I didn’t even know she had.

On top of this, my own health has been declining. I am a disabled Veteran with very limited mobility—I can’t walk more than five feet without assistance, and standing for more than ten minutes causes my legs to go numb. I need lower back surgery, but I must lose weight first to qualify for the operation. My insurance doesn’t cover my expensive medications, and the mounting hospital and doctor bills have left me beyond broke. I am grateful to God that I still have a roof over my head, but I live alone and struggle to keep up with daily tasks. Even taking out the trash is taxing, and the stress and worry have taken a toll on my mental and spiritual health. Sometimes, I go days without eating because I simply can’t afford it.

I am at my breaking point and unsure of what to do next. I am doing everything I can to keep my home—the place my late wife and I shared since 2007. I am reaching out to my community and to anyone who can help. Your support will help me keep my home, cover essential living expenses, and focus on my health. I am at God’s mercy and yours, and any help you can offer would mean the world to me. I used the $400,000 HELOC to pay off medical expenses. $155,000 in credit card debt used to pay her cc and loans. I tried to keep our business going by myself and failed, now I have no income and am in grave danger of loosing my house. Please help if you can. God Bless you all.
