Helping Tina and Mark rebuild their life , home

Hi my name is Tina Kalkbrenner, husband Mark. I wanted to start by saying thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read our story.

To tell the whole story would take a novel so I'll try to keep it short, so please try to read entire story as I try to explain in as short as possible the story of my fall.

I have been battling with physical injuries for years and have pushed my self to keep them at bay, because if I didn't work we could not have a home and other basic needs.

I have gotten even worse, physically and mentally. One day after work got home to a notice from landlord 30 days to vacate premises. Why still not legitimized, we paid on time for 3 years never bounced a check took care of the home , and let them know when they were needed for repairs, so they said owned decided to sell one only reason we had to leave. Ok so this caused me so much stress guess my mind could not handle anymore I had a severe panic attack I couldn't work without crying shaking losing vision and worst stomic ache I couldn't not handle it.

thought I could take a day or two off see the doctor as I see him a lot have a lot of medical bills but really need him. Any way during these two things happening trying to figure out how and where we were going to go with no money living barely pay check to pay check . after 14 days she taped a notice sneaky like at night not even knocking on door that we had 3 days notice to pay or quit. So I lost it even more uncontrollable crying sick sick sick.

Still no where to go and how , we had a family member who could only help us with solution of shelter in form of motor home we a living bairly in an older 89 motor home. Grateful to know we had a place to put our heads at night just not knowing where and how financially we could find a place to park this beast. We have had to park in the Wal-Mart parking lot to try to fix the motor home it has and needs new batteries we cannot afford needed a new alternater because the one seller gave us did not go to the motor home and the generator stopped working needs a new switch So we don't even have back up electricity to use a heater and it has been getting cold at night. As much as he tries Mark is not a mechanic and most of this is hard for him to fix for not knowing. Others are in the dark for helping as well So we have been stuck with no money to fix no money to camp or find a motor home park to park So we are stuck in desperate times we have asked family and friends for their help with us staying plugging in at their homes some said Yes others said no but then the yes became no. My mother aging quickly gave us a green light but because she only rents we could only stay a couple of nights So she would not lose her home as well So off to Wal-Mart again and hopes it doesn't get much colder at night since we have no working amenities as of yet working on that working to get them working. Which makes My illnesses worsen making it harder to work as my poor old body is shutting down and I don't know if I am ever going to recover.

PLEASE please keep reading. So my illness has taken over my body my soul so much so I still under doctors advisement in order to get better and not worsen wants me to still not work. We are so depleted in funds have no savings no such thing as collateral no way ever to loan money so we are in a losing daily battle. No where else to turn but to the guidance of our Lord prayer and the kindness of strangers, family and friends to ask humbly for help. Help me so I can recover, so I can try to get on disability so I can stop hurting worrying about where our next meal comes from our next next is at. We are not by any means slackers, we have always worked for everything we had and did. Unfortunately time has not been our friend and illness and emergency situations has brought us to this unfortunate place in life so we are asking for your help to get us by. My illness is a long list and unfortunately coming worse with age. I had brain tumor removed making memory and learning disabilities, I have Cushing desease, type 2 diabetes with new and on going neropathy, high blood pressure, had tumor and half my liver removed took years to regenerate due to my illnesses, lower back problems bulging herniated disc L4,5,and possibly 6 with depleting cartladge meaning bone on bone in that very painful I cannot do work stand sit fir more than 15 min at a time without breaking in between to stop pain to continue and walking is the worst and most noticable when someone notices my walking that ask whats wrong I tell them it's normal that just caught me on a weak day and they are shocked to know how sick I really am. And now in top of everything else my depression has fallen into the worst mental state I have ever been in I cant think sleep eat rest without me going into full blown panic and new medications for me are still in trial to see if and what will work to get me help.. One more thing so that you may understand where we are Mark has not just been standing back he him self had a serious injury some time ago ( diesel hit him breaking his back )causing him to be disabled cannot work full time due to this and while he could do small light work covid took that away from him. I worry that he pushes himself too much and hurts his body . I don't like and want to see my love in that much pain to keep us going. It has been very hard for him to watch me work for our family while kids where still home and now still struggling to work , harder for him to watch me get sicker and sicker. Hes a strong prideful man but a teadybear at heart. (Would do anything for anyone in need and has)

We are humbled and thankful you took the time to read our story and hope you can put us in your hearts and prayer. By donating you are really helping us find a new home helping me recover correctly making a new life for our selves. We also ask that in your help you could share our story with others seeking additional help.

Again if you are a normal person you could understand how very humbling and scary to ask for help but unfortunately necessary for continuing our next chapter in life. But we look at the brighter things such as together we are together and we have family and wonderful friends God bless each and everyone of you. And for each day we open our eyes to this wonderful world. Where else can we say I have and love all my brothers and sisters in this world.

I don't know what else to say to help you understand how very desperate I am , we need help getting us into a place a working motor home for living. instead of the parking lot of Wal-Mart. It's not easy for older weaker sicky couples to do the things needed to make your life. But trying to get there.

Please help, share and thank you from the bottom of our hearts . May the Lord bless and keep you by his side always.
