Help needed

Life throws hurdles and everyone handles them differently. Sometimes we are prepared and sometimes we are not. If you don't know us we have been hit and hit and hit. Our savings has never had a chance to grow. We wiped out our 401ks to get this house only to wipe them out again to fix the flooring that was giving away in the 2nd floor main bathroom.

Now we watch as our basement floods daily everytime we do the laundry and after 3 years of it doing so it literally just makes one feel like a failure because we can't afford to fix it.

Our windows leak water everytime it rains and we didn't qualify for any help to get them fixed. Because they do my oldest child's asthma is constantly unsettled. We are falling apart and I hate it.

Our kids are our world and without both cars running we are screwed. I need my van for my kids appointments and my husband doesn't get off at an hour I can go get him with both boys in toe. We are swimming in hospital debts with daily calls. We have an upcoming surgery for my youngest for his teeth that will be atleast $500 after already paying $500 for the oldest with $200 more still owed. That's just the estimate and we are literally scrambling to come up with it. The 500 we paid made it happen.

Our hoa raised and that killed us further. Then gas prices killed what little we had managed to save. Now Mike's car needs a $200 repair after we spent our last $128 to repair it yesterday using our grocery money.

I absolutely hate asking. I'm at such a loss I'm in tears that once more we have to beg for a hand up instead of helping others. We don't have it worse than anyone else but I promise you we are struggling. I asumsure you this was our last resort. We are only asking for what we need to fix Mike's car, to cover coltons surgery, and the extra to pay a mechanic to help me fix it.

We will figure a way out of this but it would really help if we could just get past this hurdle. I work 5 home businesses but sales just aren't where I need them. Potty training isn't working so we can save on diapers. And groceries for someone with a lot of allergies never goes down. Mike and I are at our limit. He can't get paid if he doesn't go to work and I can't keep losing my mind wondering where it's all going to come from. Please help but only if you consider this a hand up not a hand out.

Please do not judge us. If you feel like helping us more than our goal we are grateful but it isn't necessary at this exact moment. I'm more concerned getting the car running and coltons surgery done.
