Lend a Hand: Overcoming Financial Strain

Heya! It's been....a super rough year for us. My husband and I had some surprise bills at the start of the year, and we got those squared away and taken care of, great! And then tax season hit. And our taxes were really weird. We're having some accountant messups that are going to lead to late fees plus revision fees; the IRS is telling us we can't setup a payment plan for the 3,000 we owe federal because of them having issues with a 2019 return; and we are struggling to pay a few other new surprise bills (house siding repair, upcoming plumbing bill, groceries, lawn care, and some extant medical bills I still have). So once again, we're asking for help just so we can try to get caught up (for real, this time, we hope).
